DPI Labs is demonstrating its newly certified line of Smart Canvas OLED displays at its booth (#2429) this week at NBAA-BACE. The transparent touchscreen displays, which are already flying aboard commercial-class aircraft, are currently available in 55- and 65-inch sizes and, according to the company, smaller displays from 24 to 40 inches will soon be on the market. California-based DPI Labs expects to receive STCs soon for a variety of business aircraft including the latest ultra-long-range jets.
The 4K HDR displays offer significant benefits over standard LCD monitors. DPI's 65-inch unit, the thickness of a nickel, weighs only 3.5 pounds, while a comparably sized LCD display tips the scales at more than 100 pounds. Aside from this, additional weight savings are realized in the reduced structural supports needed to mount the units, which also eases installation costs.
