CONTROL HEAD WITH ELECTROLUMINESCENT PANEL IN LAND MOBILE RADIO
First Claim
1. A control head for use with a land mobile radio, the control head comprising:
- an electroluminescent display;
a control head controller operatively connected to receive data from a land mobile radio and to construct the data into an images; and
an FPGA video driver connected to said control head controller and buffering the images into a video stream for rendering on said electroluminescent display.

Abstract
An exemplary land mobile radio control head and method are provided. In one embodiment, the control head has the capability to utilize halo light of the control head to implement a multi-function indicator that communicates a state of the land mobile radio. In another embodiment, the control head has the capability to provide buffer images constructed from data received from the land mobile radio into a video stream for rendering on an electroluminescent display. In another embodiment, the control head provides the capability for a user to modify a configuration stored on the land mobile radio that defines one of several display modes to be utilized in generating data for use in forming images to be rendered on an electroluminescent display.
