Micro-LED Displays for Aerospace Applications

Micro-LED displays are an exciting new trend in emissive display technologies that are set to challenge the current Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Displays that are currently used throughout the Aerospace industry. Currently there are major display companies investing in developing a reliable, manufacturable, size appropriate display for various markets. The student team for this project will review the current manufacturing challenges that the industry is working on. After this study, the team will use a 6.3 inch x 4.5 inch micro-LED display and design a display housing and interface that will drive selectable avionic images to demonstrate the potential for the use of micro-LED displays in the cockpit. Design will integrate an available micro-LED display while considering aerospace environmental requirements. The design will use mechanical packaging and analog and embedded development to develop an interface that can be either self-contained or be driven with off the shelf lab equipment. Korry's desire is to gain a better understanding of the manufacturing readiness level of current micro-LED production as it relates to Aerospace applications. Korry also hopes to be able to demonstrate to our customers future capabilities that will provide technological advancements in our product families.
