CORE DESIGN
Beginning with every character
recreating the DED reading experience
Original dot-matrix character style
Every character is redrawn around the original DED dot pattern, proportions, placement and spacing rather than replaced with a generic bold font.
OLED and optical display film
A 3.12-inch OLED is available in standard amber and NVIS-style green. A custom matte optical film controls brightness loss while improving readability in bright environments.
Page-by-page information reconstruction
The original dot-matrix style is retained while each page is restructured for the available 256 × 64 display area and a more natural reading hierarchy.
Dedicated data-driven display
USB data is processed by an STM32 F4 Series MCU. The unit does not depend on a graphics-card video output and does not add a separate video rendering workload.
SOFTWARE CONNECTION
Union Avionics
Simulator Center
Union Avionics Simulator Center is developed by UA to exchange flight data between the DED and DCS World or Falcon BMS. Because the software is maintained in house, DED page, character and interaction details can be implemented directly, while compatibility updates and bug fixes can follow simulator updates.
DCS WORLDSelect and save the game directory to complete the initial setup.
FALCON BMSNo additional setup is required.
DEVELOPED BY UADED details, compatibility updates and bug fixes remain under UA maintenance.
MANUFACTURING BACKGROUND
From machined aluminium
to complete device inspection
The display-module body is machined from 6061 aluminium or 7075 aviation aluminium according to the selected specification. The complete-form option adds a painted photopolymer-resin extended decorative rear housing. After preparation and multi-layer industrial coating, the coating color is referenced against the physical FS 37038 Aviation Black chip in the SAE Federal Standard color deck, providing durable surface protection and a stable appearance. The display, optical film, electronics and interface are then assembled and checked for display output, USB communication and software connection.

in operation
These recordings show the green and yellow display versions responding to page changes during simulator operation, including the character rendering and information layout on the physical hardware.
Recorded color and brightness may vary with the camera and viewing display. The videos are intended to show page response and real operating condition.INSTALLATION AND CONTENTS
Mounting method
and package contents
Use the supplied fasteners and dedicated connection cable for installation and data connection.
MOUNTING METHOD
Four M3 mounting screws
Use the four supplied M3 screws to secure the DED to a compatible simulator-cockpit mounting position.
DATA CONNECTIONConnect the DED to the computer with the supplied 2 m USB-to-4PIN aviation connector cable.
PACKAGE CONTENTS
Supplied with the product
- DED unit in the selected specification

PRODUCT FORMAT
Two body specifications
The 6061 aluminium version provides the compact-depth DED display module without an extended decorative rear housing. The 7075 aviation aluminium version adds a painted photopolymer-resin extended decorative rear housing for projects that prefer a more complete external form. Both retain the same display face, mounting relationship and integrated DED electronics.
