Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a display panel and a display panel manufactured according to the method.
  • the present invention also relates to method of refurbishing a display panel and a refurbished panel manufactured according to the method.
  • the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an avionic display panel, that is a display panel for an aircraft, a method of refurbishing an avionic display panel, an avionic display panel and a refurbished avionic display panel.
  • a conventional display panel, produced in this manner, has the disadvantage that the paint coating is prone to chipping and scratching during manufacture and installation, leading to high levels of product returns. Further, in fitted panels, which are not easily repairable, such paint damage will often obscure the text and other information carried by the panel, particularly in conditions of low ambient light levels, when the light sources located behind the panel are visible through the damaged areas. The fragility of the paint coating also limits the ability to clean the panel: for example, if a member of a flight crew spills a drink over a panel, it will often not be possible to clean the panel without causing damage to the paint coating, and as a result the appearance of the panels may deteriorate quite rapidly, giving a poor impression of the aircraft.
  • a method of manufacturing a display panel comprising the steps of: providing a first sheet of light transmitting material ; providing a second sheet of light transmitting material ; providing a display between an upper surface of the first sheet and a lower surface of the second sheet; and mounting the second sheet over the first sheet with the display therebetween and such that the display is visible through the second sheet.
  • a display panel adapted to be mounted in a vehicle, the display panel comprising: a first sheet of light transmitting material; a second sheet of light transmitting material mounted on the first sheet; and a display between an upper surface of the first sheet and a lower surface of the second sheet, such that the display is visible through the second sheet.
  • the display As the display is located beneath the second sheet, it is protected from damage during handling, fitting and use.
  • the display panel of the present invention is likely to be more robust than conventional display panels, and will retain its appearance over a far longer period.
  • the display panel of the present invention has particular application in display panels for aircraft, and the method may be usefully applied to the refurbishment of existing display panels in aircraft.
  • the first sheet may be in the form of an existing display panel carrying an existing display.
  • the existing display will be adapted to the new display, for example by removing areas of the existing display, before application of the new display.
  • the display panel of the present invention has further applications in other vehicles, such as any sea or land vehicle requiring a display panel, for example a ship, hovercraft or submarine, and in particular military vehicles such as trucks, tanks, Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) , amphibious vehicles and the like.

  • the display is a coating applied to the lower surface of the second sheet .
  • the display comprises a dark opaque coating and is applied to a first portion of the lower surface of the second sheet, a selected second portion of the lower surface remaining uncoated. Accordingly, if a light source is positioned behind the display panel, light will be transmitted through the sheets at said second portions.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un panneau d'affichage (10, 11) destiné notamment à un avion. Dans un mode de réalisation, le panneau d'affichage (10) comprend un panneau arrière structurel (12) en matière transparente, surmonté d'un panneau de couverture (14) en matière transparente. Ce panneau de couverture (14) est monté sur le panneau arrière (12) au moyen d'un adhésif approprié (16) et un affichage est formé entre ces panneaux (12, 14) par impression par sérigraphie d'un revêtement d'encre foncée (22) sur la surface inférieure du panneau de couverture (14) avant son montage sur le panneau arrière (12). Certaines zones de la surface inférieure du panneau de couverture (14), destinées notamment au lettrage (20) ne sont pas imprimées. Ledit lettrage est translucide ou fluorescent, de sorte que l'utilisation d'une source lumineuse disposée derrière le panneau arrière (12) permet de visualiser ce lettrage (20) depuis une position située au-dessus du panneau de couverture (14), lequel protège le lettrage contre les éventuelles détériorations. L'invention concerne également un procédé de remise à neuf d'un panneau d'affichage ainsi qu'un panneau d'affichage remis à neuf.
