Flexible OLED Digital Magazines Proposed for IFE

What They Say

Royole is working with Airbus on a project to look at the feasibility of using flexible OLEDs to replace paper magazines as they are lighter and are easier to clean between flights. The firms are said to be testing prototypes.

What We Think

I can see the logic of this if the devices can be robust enough. The performance would be much better than typical in-flight displays and would be much easier to update. Further, and this could be a killer, a magazine like this allows video advertising, surely a major advantage. Of course, they would be stealable, but I assume flight attendants would collect them before landing. (BR)
