Electroluminescent Displays on the Space Shuttle

We came across this NASA image from 1985 of a Planar electroluminescent (EL) display on the space shuttle. The display was part of the GRID laptop, one of the first notebooks on the market. The fact that EL displays can handle 100 G's was definitely a plus for this application.

We've kept all the great qualities of electroluminescent displays, but with an interesting new twist. The display can now be transparent, mirrored, as well as cut or molded into unique shapes. See the Transparent press release, product page or FAQ. Here's an example of a TASEL display that has bent into shape. Try that with an LCD.
