An aircraft windscreen comprises a plurality of liquid crystal display (LCD) films positioned on or within various portions of the windscreen to define a corresponding plurality of zones. The opacity of the LCD films are individually and separately controllable by control circuitry in communication with user controls to allow a user to darken or lighten portions of the various LCD films to achieve a desired level of gradient tint in the defined zones to block external light, such as sunlight, from the aircraft.
