RE: Properties of a Pocket Calculator for Astronauts
If you read "The Martian" by Andy Weir, there is a section on an LCD exposed to vacuum. It's not nice. I suspect OLED displays would suffer the same fate.
So, if you have a calculator as a backup, it better be decompression - proof. Either LED, or part of a spacesuit Heads Up Display (HUD). If there's a vacuum inside your suit, you are beyond worrying about a calculator. |
