OLED windowless aircraft: the unique atmosphere of travel
"Take a plane with no windows," sounds a bit like doing "claustrophobic nightmare" feeling. The British Technology Innovation Centre (CPI) boldly believe that no window aircraft will be a sign of the future of air travel, which is working with organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology to build aircraft windowless charming vision.
OLED is a very promising flat panel display technology. It has a very excellent display performance, especially since the light, simple structure, ultra-thin, fast response, wide viewing angle, low power consumption and flexible display can be realized and other characteristics, known as the "dream display." Song of the OLED display panel can be used, using a wide temperature range, the process is relatively simple structure and the other outstanding features, the industry believes that it is the next generation of flat panel display technologies emerging applications.
Imagine, the original cabin windows were OLED display screen alternative, always playing the scene around the aircraft. If you do not sit by the window position, the display on the front of the seat back is like a large window, ready for you to play outside, as well as provide a variety of entertainment ...... this flight was not it would be fun.
British technology innovation center idea, no aircraft with an OLED display windows, enhanced cabin illumination light from the light emitting bulkhead wall, create a unique travel for passengers atmosphere. OLED technology uses extremely thin, flexible screen, high-quality, flexible embedded into the body and the seat back liner, organically integrated, eliminating the heavy shell, players from outside the aircraft camera can capture high-definition display screen. Such aircraft optimized space and reduce its weight, not only reduce costs and make the body lighter, more rugged, spacious seating, but also reduces fuel consumption. From the looks of it, is not ugly, clumsy and heavy.
It is estimated that a commercial aircraft is loaded to 80% by weight of the aircraft itself and its fuel. Every 1% reduction in weight, fuel savings at around 0.75%. British technology innovation center, said the aircraft weight loss can be described as a constant challenge. And OLED displays replace windows can bring significant benefits. Weight loss that is fuel-efficient, consuming less fuel means less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, reducing operating costs.
British technology innovation center is working to this innovative idea into reality. According to physicist organizational network recently reported that they are working with the aerospace industry to develop flexible OLED technology companies. Using lightweight print wiring loom for safe flight offers multiple conductors, so that each display panel along the machine bulkhead "seamless" arrangement. On the plane multi-screen layout method, which means the panel can display or lighting according to the site layout and cabin chair seat pitch.
British technology innovation center, explains: "internal tracking camera image can be projected onto the screen, according to the perspective of the passengers, that move is consistent with the direction of the image of the head movement of passengers sitting on the seat of any passenger can select the aircraft. either side to watch. "
In the long-haul flight, the passengers want to know is when in the day or night, lighting board will show changes in light of sunrise or sunset, to help long-haul passengers to adapt to different time zones, in order to avoid confusion in the minds.
Just last August, CPI research and development manager Simon Oye said: "Our aim is the concept of innovative technologies, such as OLED display combined with aircraft production for the entire volume of the product will be used in manufacturing automation technology, and. These screens will be less likely to cost more than the current production of displays. "
So far, the focus on technology innovation center seat backrest locked in the cabin floor, and flexible organic thin film transistor array (OTFT), its picture of each pixel on the screen makeup plays a key operational role. The Innovation Center is now tightly curved can do to keep these parts and their functions. Challenge facing the next step is to complete the same with a flexible, soft surface layer combined to achieve sensitive, high-definition image display quality.
At the same time, technological innovation center is looking for production with flexible features, flexible OLED screen manufacturers, as well as to seek new partners to further advance the design of this innovative idea.
I believe the future by using the integrated OLED display windowless aircraft to travel around the world and make people enjoy exceptionally enchanting scenery.
