What They Say
DPI Labs of the US said that it has developed 55″ and 65″ lightweight OLEDs and installed them in a Boeing 767 in January of this year. The installation included a complete DPI cabin management system consisting of passenger and cabin crew control panels, audio/video distribution, cabin control modules and DPI’s multi-colored LED cabin lighting. The new OLED large format displays are DO-160 compliant and PMA is expected within the next month.
Scott DeSmet, DPI’s VP Sales and Business Development said:
“Historically, in order to install screens this large using LED technology, the bulkhead would have had to be modified and significantly reinforced structurally in order to support the excessive mass. This adds even more overall aircraft weight and takes up additional cabin space. With our OLED displays we’re able to actually flush-mount them into a standard bulkhead, displacing bulkhead weight and material and take up zero cabin space. These are rare win-wins for our industry when we can both greatly enhance the passenger experience and reduce weight and installation time and cost.”
What We Think
We’ve previously reported work being done by JOLED in this area of aviation. (AERQ and JOLED Collaborate on Integrating Medium-Sized OLED Displays in Aircraft Cabins / JOLED Partners with Rosen Aviation to Enhance the Passenger Experience with High Performance OLEDs.
