FPD.DEV / Square Displays
Square displays.
For avionics.
For simulation.
Develop the right display for your cockpit or simulator. Explore the Square Display configuration pilot, compare four Square Display models, and define the performance and approval requirements for your application.

Square Displays
Choose your starting point.
Four reference formats, with room to grow. Each family now has its own FPD / COLABMO development reference. Final specifications will define each product and configuration.
SQR model numbers identify the series. See the listed dimensions and mounting drawings for each configuration. Use the final product drawing for fit. Availability and delivery timing require confirmation.

Take the guided tour, then choose Open Cell, High Bright, color Dual Mode NVIS (Type I Class A or B), or green NVIS Only (Type I Class C). Customize the build and save its draft component list.
Square Display family / Configuration pilotPart number follows your selections
SQR-3, SQR-5 and SQR-6 use representative SQR-4 geometry; on-screen data follows the selected family. Illustrative model and optical effects. Confirm dimensions, construction and performance. The reference module includes bonded AR glass; optional optical changes require engineering review.
Start with the intended use
Two applications. Different approval paths.
Aircraft & avionics
Tell us the aircraft, display function, certification authority and installation approval basis. We support projects that require a defined certification and qualification path.
For applicable complete displays, discuss TSO/ETSO-C113b for airborne multipurpose electronic displays. Article authorization and aircraft installation approval are separate.
Define applicable RTCA DO-160 environmental test sections and categories. Where software or airborne electronic hardware is in scope, establish DO-178C / DO-254 assurance requirements and levels. Specify NVIS compatibility separately.
Discuss an avionics application ↗Simulation & training
Tell us whether the display supports a qualified training device, an approved aviation training device, or a simulator used for research and development.
Identify FAA 14 CFR Part 60 FFS/FTD type and level, FAA BATD/AATD approval under AC 61-136B, or the applicable EASA FSTD qualification basis.
Device qualification is assessed at the simulator level. Match the display’s visual performance, interfaces and evidence to your training objective.
Discuss a simulation application ↗These are requirements to establish for your program, not certification claims for the reference modules. We help define the solution and evidence needed for either application.
Reference specifications
Compare the Square Display models.
Supplied technical values for development planning. Assigned references identify draft product definitions; final drawings, specification revisions and verification evidence will govern the products.

Common reference construction: normally black IPS, RGB stripe, 16.7 million colors (8 bit), edge-lit LED backlight rated at 1,000 nits, PWM LED driver, single-channel LVDS and optically bonded AR cover glass. Measurement conditions and final assembly performance require confirmation.
† Dimensional values awaiting confirmation
- SQR-3: Active height differs from 480 × vertical pixel pitch (60.2208 mm). Confirm 60.33 mm against the drawing.
- SQR-5: Active area implies a 7.12-inch diagonal; supplied diagonal is 7.07 inches. Confirm both values.
- SQR-6: Active area implies an 8.82-inch diagonal; confirm whether 8.8 inches is a rounded nominal.
Supplied values have been retained rather than silently corrected.
A practical development path
Explore. Define. Develop.
Capture the configuration
Choose a family, explore the shared-model pilot and capture a draft component list. Included module components stay together to avoid double counting.
Set the requirements
Record aircraft or simulator use, the approval basis, environmental conditions, interfaces, quantity and timing.
Build the product definition
Refine the CERP BOM against the assigned FPD part numbers, and connect the specification, drawing and verification plan to the selected configuration.
Before you start.
Are these modules certified for aircraft installation?
A reference specification or visualization is not approval evidence. Confirm the selected article’s authorization, applicable qualification evidence and aircraft installation approval with FPD.DEV for your program.
Can all four sizes be configured in 3D?
Yes. All four families can be configured. SQR-3, SQR-5 and SQR-6 use the same representative SQR-4 model, with their own on-screen reference information and part numbers. Dedicated geometry will replace these placeholders as models become available.
What does the draft BOM include?
It records the selected FPD / COLABMO part number and added components, plus application and qualification requirements. High Bright reference modules include their backlight, driver and bonded AR glass. Open-cell builds use a different component basis. Part mapping, material quantities and engineering review are needed before manufacture.
Does NVIS mode demonstrate compliance?
No. It illustrates appearance only. Specify the applicable NVIS standard, class/type, installation and required optical measurements with the program.
Let’s define your display.
Bring your application, configuration or early idea. We’ll help establish the next step.
