Abstract
The display system has a three-dimensional and curved display surface made up of a single electronic display screen or several joined electronic display screens, the display surface having at least one main zone dedicated to a pilot and suitable for being located in front of said pilot, the main zone being substantially planar or concave, and at least one lateral zone associated with each main zone, each lateral zone being concave and laterally extending the associated main zone.

An electronic image display system for a vehicle cockpit, the display system having a three-dimensional and curved display surface made up of a single electronic display screen or several joined electronic display screens, the display surface comprising:
- at least one main zone dedicated to a pilot and located in front of said pilot, the main zone being substantially planar or concave, and
- at least one lateral zone associated with each main zone, each lateral zone being concave and laterally extending the associated main zone;
- wherein:
- each display screen is a light-emitting screen and is devoid of a visible border, such that the display surface comprising the at least one main zone and the at least one lateral zone appears continuous;
- each lateral zone is extended by a lateral extension extending towards a rear of the vehicle cockpit from the lateral zone;
- and
- the display surface has a height dimension at each lateral extension that decreases gradually from a first display height dimension near an associated lateral zone toward a second display height dimension at an end of the respective lateral extension opposite to the associated lateral zone, wherein the second display height dimension is smaller than the first display height dimension.
An electronic image display system for a vehicle cockpit, the display system having a three-dimensional and curved display surface made up of a single electronic display screen or several joined electronic display screens, the display surface comprising:
- a single main zone dedicated to a pilot and located in front of said pilot, the main zone being substantially planar or concave, and
- two lateral zones associated with the main zone, each lateral zone being concave and laterally extending the main zone on a respective side;
- wherein:
- each display screen is a light-emitting screen and is devoid of a visible border, such that the display surface comprising the main zone and the two lateral zones appears continuous;
- each lateral zone is extended by a lateral extension towards a rear of the vehicle cockpit from the lateral zone;
- and
- the display surface has a height dimension at each lateral extension that decreases gradually from a first display height dimension near an associated lateral zone toward a second display height dimension smaller than the first display height dimension at an end of the respective lateral extension opposite to the associated lateral zone.
