Abstract
An emissive display unit for an avionics display system installable in an aircraft cockpit may incorporate a display substrate housing emissive devices and a sensor substrate bonded to the rear surface of the display substrate. The sensor substrate may include a network of touch sensors configured to receive touch commands applied to the front surface of the display substrate. The touch sensors of the sensor substrate may be connected to drive electronics via a network of interconnect traces routed behind the rear surface of the emissive display unit (i.e., the rear surface of the sensor substrate). The drive electronics may then display images on the front surface of the display substrate via the emissive devices, based on touch commands received through the touch sensors. The front or rear surface of the sensor substrate may include a fully or partially metallized layer to disperse heat from the emissive display unit.
