Royole and Airbus have revealed a series of cabin flexible display prototypes, the first under the partnership established in 2018.
“Fully flexible display is an ultra-thin and ultra-light cutting-edge technology, adapting to any cabin surface with minimum integration efforts. Working as a ‘sticker’, it is the human-machine interface of the future in aviation, we are making it real with Royole, and we will continue to work together to push the boundaries of what is possible for aviation,” said Alejandro Morales, Airbus Project Leader for Flexible Display.
“Utilising fully flexible displays instead of traditional LCDs in aircraft can reduce both cost and weight, saving fuel and reducing carbon emissions in airliners,” said Hong Zhao, COO of Royole Corporation, “which will provide new paths to improving the sustainability of our world.”
According to Royole, its flexible solutions will save hundreds of thousands dollars of fuel annually, and meet the industry’s strict quality and safety standards, passing the AS9100 and DO160 tests for flammability, toxicity and smoke.
