Approval for flat-panels displays

Litton Marine Systems has introduced a new series of type-approved BridgeMaster E marine radars featuring flat-screen displays.

The displays are 115m (4.5in) thick and are designed to provide wide viewing angles and a bright clear picture in both direct sunlight and at night as a result of the ability to dim the display almost to extinction, says Litton. The active matrix 512mm (20in) inch liquid crystal display (LCD) provides 1,280 by 1,024 resolution. The thin-screen BridgeMaster E radars will be offered in a “kit” form for retrofit and electronic components can be remotely mounted beneath the console or in an electronics compartment, with only the display console and operator controls visible, says Litton. Control is via joystick, trackball or keyboard.
