US F35 fighter: Trouble with pilot’s helmet: Solving with organic EL
US F35 fighter: malfunction of helmet
Currently, this helmet has a defect.
In a dark place, there was a “problem with green light flickering”.
Until now, liquid crystal was used for the display of this helmet.
Conventional liquid crystal: Change to organic EL
The US military has been suffering from this helmet failure.
However, it seems that a solution has finally been found.
The helmet worn by the pilot of the state-of-the-art stealth fighter F35 is $ 400,000 (about 44 million yen).
However, due to a bug in the display, green light flickers when flying in dark air.
In the future, it is expected that this problem can be solved by changing the display to organic EL instead of the conventional LCD.
US Lockheed Martin:
US Lockheed Martin signed a redesign contract with the F35 Joint Program Secretariat.
We are proceeding with a plan to change the helmet specifications from conventional LCD to organic EL.
