LED Displays for Simulation

In simulation environments, visual displays carry the weight of realism, pilot performance, and regulatory expectations. The correct metric for defining visual acuity in a dome is arcminutes per optical line pair, because pilots do not perceive pixels, they perceive contrast boundaries where detail actually lives. This approach matches the behavior of human visual acuity, which resolves line pairs rather than
individual dots on a display.
Multiple projector displays require edge blending to create a sufficiently wide image which can distort fine markings, signage, or runway cues. An LED surface, by contrast, produces a unique and consistent contrast, allowing flight trainees to interpret terrain texture, motion parallax, and target acquisition with clarity. These qualities support the demands of commercial FTDs, military mission rehearsal, JTAC
environments, and the stringent expectations of Full-Flight Simulator (Level-D) training, where perfect resolution, not pixel count, defines certification readiness.

dvLED performance depends on several interconnected visual factors, including pixel pitch, viewing radius, MTF, fill factor, black level, and latency. These characteristics determine how accurately the display preserves sharp, clear images and contrast across the field of view and how well pilots can read gauges, identify runway markings, or recognize distant targets during dynamic motion cues. Because
radius and pitch directly control arcminute outcomes, system designers can select configurations that meet the needs of large-format training environments or approach sub-arcminute performance where mission accuracy demands it. With its ability to maintain detail, contrast, and resolution across large visual surfaces, dvLED offers a more efficient alternative to projection. It supports training programs that require crisp cues, predictable performance, and stable optical characteristics across the entire image. By aligning with the way pilots see the world, dvLED enables simulation systems to deliver visuals with high accuracy and mission ready fidelity.
