OPTICALLY ENHANCED AIRCRAFT WINDOW

Abstract:

A window includes a first transparent pane having a first surface and a second surface and a second transparent pane having a third surface and a fourth surface. The third surface faces the second surface and is separated from the first transparent pane by a distance. The window also includes an optical enhancer positioned at least one of between the second surface and the third surface, or adjacent to the fourth surface. The first transparent pane transmits light therethrough as a first image with a first image area. The optical enhancer receives the first image, modifies the first image, and produces a second image with a second image area larger than the first image area.
