Most current images seem really to be mainly computer created, but
check out:

What's interesting though, is the integrated Chart-Database with
LCD screens on either side of the cockpit !
Unfortunately, there were not any images of the A380's MCDU - but I did
read that it's supposed to be controlled by a simple
stick/mouse replacement ...
I wonder, how "easy" this will be to be done in-flight, though :-/
But a multi-color display (well, at least tri-color) would certainly
be a good idea for the CDUs of the future.
I was talking about having a libary-like interface that can allow the user to
implement basic and advanced animations really easily.
Okay, I think we agree here - Harald suggested already a basic framework
for it, so it might make sense for those instrument designers to also
make some suggestions about what exactly might be needed in such a
library.
P.S.: Harald, you might want to check this page, too:
