Abstract
The display system for a cockpit of an aircraft comprises a transparent display device and a display computer. The transparent display device includes a brightness masking device that can be commanded according to at least three predetermined levels of opacity in at least four masking independent zones. The display system includes a brightness sensor. The display computer is configured to determine a level of brightness due to the light source, in display zones corresponding to each of the masking zones, depending on information coming from the brightness sensor; determine an opacity level associated with each of the masking zones, depending on the brightness level determined, such that a higher level of opacity corresponds to a higher level of brightness; and command the opacity level in each of the masking zones of the brightness masking device.
