Paul,

I just spoke with Leslie Huttunen. He called me as a result of your email
with a possible solution to a long time problem.

For at least 7-8 years I've been looking for a daylight readable display.
Most notebook computer displays are 50 to 70 NITS in brightness. To see in
the sun requires at least 1000 and up to 2000 NITS. Panasonic has done the
best I've seen in their small M17 and M34 Toughbook notebooks. The 8.4"
display is only 100 NITS but it has two films of anti-glare and a final
polarizing coating. I have seen this display in the daylight and it's
absolutely the best I've seen. I don't know if Free Flight will run on that
notebook because it only has 2.5MB of video ram and FF likes 4-8MB minimum.

Would any of the engineers you are working with know of a detachable
display, about 8.4" to 10.2" or so, that could plug into a notebook and be
daylight readable. Touchscreen would be best as Free Flt supports touchscreens.

Best,

Jorj

The guy you also want to communicate with is Brent Regan. He has licensed
his product to North Star and Brent claims the color LCD display is 800 nits.
I have seen it in sunlight and I believe it.
His web site URL is on our web site list of links.
