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