Although this document is specifically intended for the application of color to cathode-ray-tube (CRT) instrumentation, most portions are also compatible with other emerging electronic display technologies, whether they are self-luminous or light modulating devices, such as liquid crystal displays. However, it is not intended to address the concerns brought about by the use of specialized equipment such as head-up displays and night vision goggles. Identifiable incompatibilities or special considerations for color display technologies other than the CRT have been noted in the recommendations.

Purpose:

This document makes recommendations concerning human factors issues in the application of color to self-luminous display instrument systems.
