What They Say
Jet Aviation, a fitter-out of private jets, has incorporated six 55″ curved OLEDs into its latest cabin interior. The use of OLEDs reduces the space and weight used for the displays and they are mounted above the windows. The OLEDs follow the curve of the ceilings.
In order to certify the screens inhouse and install in line with aviation requirements, Jet Aviation worked with an electronics partner on a series of qualification analyses and tests to meet temperature, vibration, weight, sound, electromagnetism, flammability, and stress aviation standards.
The completion center is able to install the curved screens in both completion and refurbishment projects.
What We Think
As we have reported before, there is a lot of interest in whether flexible OLEDs could be used to replace windows as this would improve the structural integrity of the fuselage as well as further reducing weight. As the aviation industry tries to move to more sustainable power, with less use of fossil fuels, the pressure for improvement is bound to intensify. (BR)
