Cevians developed the novel iSafeNight polymer film and filter technology in support of commercial-off-the shelf tablets and other devices used in military and avionic night vision applications. Cevians wide array of NIR absorptive film and filter solutions provide external, permanent or removable, NVIS compatibility to mobile devices such as tablets, phones and laptops. Display systems can be enhanced with a removable iSafeNight filter or permanently ruggedized with a low reflection, optically bonded polymer material, ensuring permanent NVIS MIL-STD-3009 compliance. Material composition and finishes also improve sunlight readability by enhancing contrast and reducing front surface reflection. iSafeNight solutions enabling soldiers to move undetected during night operations and safely use tablets and other COTS devices used in the cockpit during nighttime missions.
Cevians Leading Edge Technology
iSafeNight is based on Cevians multiple material formulations including proprietary NIR absorptive technology. The thin filtering layer, 0.012” or less, maintains a high level of red content while absorbing detrimental near infrared and infrared energy, all without interfering with normal touch functionality.
Removable-Rugged
The iSafeNight filter is reusable and is either maintained in place by a custom retention system or by integrating Cevians nano-shaped features that guarantee adherence without the use of chemical agents. This makes the filter entirely and easily washable and reusable.
Any Devices
The product is available for a number of COTS tablets, monitors, and phones including Apple, Samsung, Panasonic, Microsoft, and Getac with various options to maintain touch functionality with the filter installed. This includes a self-adhering surface that allows for rapid installation and removal.
Custom Mounting Features & Cases
Cevians has worked closely with Tablet OEM’s, military users, air, and ground services to develop a number of custom mechanical mounting features or tablet cases that allow quick installation or removal of the filter.

The False Perception of EFB/EKB Led Dimming: Noncompliance With MIL-STD-3009
Military aircrews use two methods to manage interior aircraft lighting when operating with night vision goggles (NVG): 1.) Night vision imaging system (NVIS) filters and 2.) LED Dimming. This white paper will focus on four areas: 1.) Understanding MIL-STD 3009 and its applicability to cockpit light sources including light emitting diode (LED) technology; 2.) LED dimming alone as an NVIS compatibility method with MIL-STD 3009, 3.) Cost as a justification for added risk impacting mission safety, and 4.) The risks involved in using noncompliant digital dimming techniques.
