Next year, two widebody aircraft will be the first to be equipped with Rosen Aviation’s latest and largest in flight entertainment (IFE) system display, a massive 97-inch 4K OLED. Rosen can’t identify the owners of the two aircraft and it will be a while before anyone gets to travel on these widebodies, but visitors to this year's NBAA-BACE will be able to see a production version of the display at the Rosen booth.
“The specifications are impressive,” said customer success manager Justin Watson. “This is larger than anything we’ve done. To the best of our knowledge, it’s the largest IFE OLED.”&nbsp;
Rosen purchases the OLED glass from manufacturer LG then builds its own lightweight chassis and electronics. For this installation, Rosen was given a maximum weight of 265 pounds, and the 97-inch display came out at 100 pounds less.&nbsp;
“This is mostly applicable only to widebody aircraft,” he said, although he speculated that the Falcon 10X with its wide cabin might be able to accommodate a 97-inch display.&nbsp;
At BACE, Rosen is also showing its digital skylight, which consists of four 65-inch 4K OLEDs tiled together in a composite chassis. The skylight will be viewable on the mockup of an aircraft interior at the Rosen exhibit, and customers will be able to choose curated content to display on the skylight array.
