Abstract
Methods and systems for operating a display device are provided. A first image is caused to be displayed on the display device. The first image is at least representative of a field of view from on-board an aircraft. A second image is rendered over the first image on the display device. A luminance of at least a portion of the second image is temporally modulated.
Claims19
A method for operating a display device comprising:
- causing a first image to be displayed on the display device, the first image being at least representative of a field of view from on-board an aircraft;
- rendering a second image over the first image on the display device;
- and
- temporally modulating a luminance of at least a portion of the second image, said temporal modulation comprising repeatedly:
- increasing the luminance of the at least a portion of the second image from a first luminance to a second luminance over a first time period, and
- gradually decreasing the luminance of the at least a portion of the second image from the second luminance to the first luminance over a second time period, the second time period greater than the first time period.

A method of operating a head-up display (HUD) device comprising;
- causing a first image to be displayed on the display device, the first image being at least representative of a field of view of a user on-board an aircraft;
- rendering a second image on the display device over the first image, the second image comprising a plurality of substantially linear adjacent portions;
- and
- temporally modulating a luminance of the plurality of substantially linear portions of the second image in a sequence, said temporal modulation comprising repeatedly:
- increasing the luminance of the at least a portion of the second image from a first luminance to a second luminance over a first time period, and
- gradually decreasing the luminance of the at least a portion of the second image from the second luminance to the first luminance over a second time period, the second time period greater than the first time period.

An avionics system comprising:
- a head-up display (HUD) device;
- and
- a processor in operable communication with the HUD device, the processor being configured to:
- cause a first image to be displayed on the display device, the first image being at least representative of a field of view from on-board the aircraft;
- render a second image on the display device over the first image, the second image comprising a plurality of substantially linear adjacent portions;
- and
- temporally modulate a luminance of the plurality of substantially linear portions of the second image in a sequence by repeatedly:
- increasing the luminance of the at least a portion of the second image from a first luminance to a second luminance over a first time period, and
- gradually decreasing the luminance of the at least a portion of the second image from the second luminance to the first luminance over a second time period, the second time period greater than the first time period.
