Custom NVIS Designs

LCD Display Night Vision (NVIS) Design and Integration

AGDisplays has been working with Military, Aerospace and other rugged industries since our inception in 2007. We provide military standard night vision compatible display integrations for extreme rugged and all-weather environments. Our solutions are ideal for environments that might need to perform in both low-light and high bright settings. 

Exploring night vision solutions involves reviewing light dimming, low nit capabilities, LCD readability and real-time compatibility with other night vision equipment. Each LCD design is unique to the customer based on project requirements; our team is careful to evaluate each aspect of our night vision solution and adjust accordingly. We integrate high quality components that allow flexibility in function so that your design integrity is upheld, and your specifications are enhanced. 

Our goal is to maximize your display’s lifecycle in the field, so our team considers the strengths and limitations of each component within the overall build. While we always strive to ruggedize every aspect of your project, the reality is LCD parts may fail or wear down over time. For these projects, we provide customized military and industrial repair programs that help you with LCD maintenance, repair and replacements.

Dual Mode Night Vision Designs for Low Light and High Bright Applications

Many applications require just the opposite capability in addition to the aforementioned functions. AGDisplays brings the best in low-light solutions, paired with high bright performance, all in the same efficient and rugged LCD design. 

AGDisplays has color TFT display models that feature Night Vision Imaging System (NVIS)-compliant LED backlighting system. Night vision imaging systems (NVIS) are systems that use image intensifier tubes to produce an enhanced image of a scene in light conditions too low for normal navigation and pilotage. Our backlighting system is designed to allow excellent readability in high ambient lighting, while also providing a secondary mode in which the panel’s illumination is NVIS compliant.  

Our Dual Mode backlighting system consists of two backlight sources that operate independently of each other. The first light source is bundled; and its configuration allows for a rugged and flexible design that withstands extreme shock and vibration. With the installation of our Generation 6 high bright LEDs, panel readability and clarity in outdoor light is maximized. 

The second light source is an NVIS compliant light system that can have Class A or B filters. Our dimming LED controllers provide full control on how low your display emits. All optical components fall within military standards.  

In night mode, brightness is dropped to less than 1 nit, and light is filtered to allow compatibility with night vision imaging systems. Our LED backlights are made of durable material and offer anywhere from 10,000 to 100,000 hours in operation life. This secondary backlight consumes less than one watt of power. The NVIS backlight remains unaffected by extremes in humidity (0% to 100%) and in temperatures ranging from -40° C to 85° C.  

The dual mode NVIS compliant backlights are thin, typically 0.068 inches thick or 1.7 mm and can be constructed even thinner if need be. NVIS-compliant dual-mode backlight provides enhanced unit life and reliability, plus a dimming capability ranging from full brightness to almost zero nits. 

We can accommodate any sized display with Dual Mode High Bright Backlighting integrations that meet MIL-STD-3009 NVIS standards. Integrating AGDisplays’ Dual Mode backlighting system into your panel has exclusive benefits: increased lifespan, lower power consumption, and versatility. We design, develop and integrate our custom Dual Mode backlighting solution for into your LCD in our US-based facility, which employs multiple Class 1000 clean rooms and stringent traceability procedures.
