Background: History Repeats 1891 Philips founded Started as lamp manufacturer Highly innovative and active in R&D Expanded to consumer electronics, medical etc 1999 NDF Special Light Products founded Philips spin-off company Started with unique, patented CCFL equipment Highly innovative and active in R&D Expansion to (critical) LCD display subsystems for Aerospace and Medical Also active in high-end decorative lighting market 2
Vision Mission and Vision Display innovation contributing to health and safety for humans and striving for resource and energy efficiency Mission Providing its customers with high-quality customized display solutions for the highend market 3
Customizing is core business High brightness e.g. sunlight readability Efficiency in power consumption Tailor made colors Consistent over display series Increasing Lifetime performance Color consistency of lifetime Improved lumen depreciation Backlight upgrades & obsolescence solutions 4
Basic Principle: Remote Fluorescent Phosphor Blue pump LED Patented Markets Aimed for high-end LCD professional LCD markets Status In production for use in ATC displays and simulator display products TRL 6/7 for Cockpit displays ARPHOS Technology for LCD 5
ARPHOS Advantages Lower Design & Life Cycle Costs Customized colors Single LED less complex design (no color control required) More energy efficient Less dependence on LED Production Quality Independent of LED Manufacturer No binning issues More Lifetime with excellent performance Low Lumen Depreciation (wrt white LED) High color consistency Increased Safety Redundant and fault tolerant LED pattern: very graceful degradation in case of failing LED strings Future Proof Quantum Dot ready 6
ARPHOS Proven color consistency Colour Shift ARPHOS vs white LED ARPHOS has better color consistency over lifetime 7
APRHOS other performance parameters Brightness Large array of brightness and dim ranges achievable, beyond COTS available equipment Tailored to customer spec. ARPHOS has been applied to displays with direct sunlight. Energy Efficiency of ARPHOS Case studies demonstrate efficiency increase (Nitt/Watt) Less power for same LCD and same brightness Reference backlight ARPHOS Efficiency Improvement (% Nitt/W) CCFL 200% White LED 48.7% 8
ARPHOS Flight test Executed in NLR s Citation aircraft Conclusions after Test Pilot evaluations Overall rating ARPHOS display 8+/10 display can be used without modifications ARPHOS Display rated better than state of the art existing COTS cockpit displays 9
