Korry Electronics

Emissive display technology in Aerospace applications

Organic emissive displays (OLEDs) have been on the market for a number of years and have been proven to have excellent optical characteristics but have other limitations that have prevented the advent of this technology into Aerospace applications. Technologists have developed in-organic emissive displays that are entering the commercial market space, although current manufacturing challenges have prevented full scale implementation. This student team will work to review the current manufacturing challenges to determine when size and resolution appropriate displays would be available for aerospace use. Further to this initial study, this student team will work to use currently available samples to produce a prototype use case that is representative of one of Korry's product families. Design parameters this student team will work to incorporate include integrating around an existing Korry product. This student team will work to consider compatibility with aerospace environmental requirements. Considering aircraft operating environments are already exposed to sound, vibration, and complex thermal exposure, this student team will also work to assess and integrate ruggedization and robustness. Ultimately, this student team will work to provide Korry with a better understanding of the manufacturing readiness level of current micro-LED production as it relates to Aerospace applications. This student team will also work to demonstrate to Korry their customers' future capabilities that will provide technological advancements in Korry's product families.
