Claim 1
Independent Claim
43 words
A dual source display comprising a cathode ray tube display (2), characterized b y a night vision monocular intensifier (6) and an optical combining means (22, 8) for providing a collimated superpositioned format of an output from said CRT display and said intensifier.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
43 words
A dual source display comprising a cathode ray tube display (2), characterized b y a night vision monocular intensifier (6) and an optical combining means (22, 8) for providing a collimated superpositioned format of an output from said CRT display and said intensifier.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
A display according to claim 1, characterized in that said combining means (22, 8) includes a partially reflecting glass (8) for concurrently reflecting the outputs from said CRT display (2) and said intensifier (6) against a visual background of the surrounding environment.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
61 words
A display according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that said combining means (22, 8) includes a first optical path (16, 20) for said CRT display, a second optical path (40, 44) for said intensifier and an optical path combining means (8, 14, 22) for allowing said second optical path to share a fixed portion of said first optical path.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
A display according to claim 3, characterized in that said optical path combining means includes a half-silvered mirror (22) arranged to intersect said first and second optical paths.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
A display according to one of the preceeding claims, characterized in that said combining means includes means (4, 8, 14) for mounting the display adjacent to an observer's eye.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
A display according to one of the preceeding claims, characterized in that said combining means includes attaching means (26) for selectively connecting said intensifier (6) to said CRT display.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
A display according to claim 6, characterized in that said attaching means (26) includes joint means for allowing a selective rotation of a longitudinal axis of said intensifier (6) with respect to a longitudinal axis of said CRT display (2).
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
19 words
A display according to claim 7, characterized in that said joint means affords a parallel relationship of said axes.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
30 words
A display according to one of the preceeding claims, characterized in that said output from said CRT display (2) is a different color from said output from said intensifier (6).
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
48 words
A display according to one of the preceeding claims, characterized in that cathode ray tube (16) includes an electrical cable (18) connected thereto for supplying energizing and power signals to said cathode ray tube and said intensifier (6) includes a battery (42) for supplying power to said intensifier.
