Defense display applications during the next few years will be dominated by the active matrix liquid crystal light valve display technology. Emissive technologies, particularly organic and inorganic light emitting diodes, are poised for commercial success as they may enable applications and efficiencies beyond the light valve technologies. The trend just begun to replace electromechanical and cathode ray tube technologies with newer flat panel displays in defense and avionics applications will accelerate in the 2000-2010 period as the commercial market continues its move towards digital flat television. Beyond 2010, high definition (2 megapixel) displays will begin to have a significant impact on fielded fleets, with ultrahigh definition and even true three-D emissive displays beyond 2020. By 2050 fully immersive visual interfaces may be anticipated based perhaps on emissive lighting and display wallpaper.
