Le terminal à affichage interactif est probablement le terminal le plus évolué qu'un constructeur ait jamais mis au point: il permet de présenter aussi bien des cartes graphiques que des messages alphanumériques (à configuration imposée à l'avance et en texte libre); l'émission s'effectue en rafales de données ultra-rapides.
