Actually, it is a "Marilake" display, built by Marilake in the UK, still in business. From what I have been able to find, they were installed in British Airways Concordes Around 1985, to replace a much less attractive 7 segment LED display. The French Concordes apparently retained the earlier LED type display.
The other article is referring to a different display that replaced the Marilakes. Most of the references I have found indicate the Marilakes were Plasma displays. Nothing definitive, however. www.marilake.com/ Mark -----Original Message----- From: ste...@malikoff.com steven--- via cctalk <cctalk@classiccmp.org> Sent: Saturday, September 16, 2023 9:37 PM To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts <cctalk@classiccmp.org> Cc: ste...@malikoff.com ste...@malikoff.com <ste...@malikoff.com> Subject: [cctalk] Re: Concorde cabin display technology?

Searching for 'Marrilite display' (I wonder what that is) turned up this page, which mentions "There was a plasma display at the front of the cabin showing the altitude, the air temperature and the current speed in both miles per hour and Mach number." https://www.heritageconcorde.com/concorde-cabin--passenger-experience
