US Precision Glass & Optics (PG&O), global experts in optical manufacturing and precision thin film coatings, has announced the design and development of custom optical filters for PRP Optoelectronics, the largest independent manufacturer of LED-based display technology. The specialized narrow-cone-angle optical thin film filters designed by PG&O are integrated into PRP Optoelectronics“ avionics displays to modify the viewing angle and eliminate unwanted stray light that would otherwise distract pilots and cockpit crew. The new optical coatings“ operational wavelengths and angle requirements are customized for sensitivity to night-time lighting. The precision thin film filters make it easier for the pilot to read the altimeter, the air speed indicator display, etc., resolving what has been a very serious challenge in military and commercial cockpit display/lighting ergonomics. Precision Glass & Optics provides high performance optical components and thin film coatings for the most demanding tasks, along with state-of-the-art glass fabrication equipment, including grinding, polishing, machining, scribing, engraving, CNC, and assembly. These can either be customized to exact specifications or shipped from in-stock items, also within a 48-hour turn around, with regards to time-critical projects. Industries served include military/defence, biomedical, life sciences, industrial, solar, imaging, aerospace, scanning, digital cinema, astronomy, laser manufacturing industries. PRP Optoelectronics designs and manufactures custom optoelectronic modules and microelectronics for avionics, military, law enforcement, instrumentation, thermal imaging, optical systems, printing, automotive, telecommunications, medical, scientific, and more. The company specializes in LED-based display technology and is the world“s largest independent supplier of custom hybrid and monolithic LED displays. Other products include drive electronics and control and interface electronics based on conventional, MCM-L, MCM-C and MCM-D technologies.
