Description: Hidden Touch Display makes the fold-up tray table an intelligent user interface.

Lufthansa Technik has been rethinking how passengers interact with the aircraft cabin environment. At the recent 2025 Dubai Airshow, the company showed a new way to display information and user interfaces without using conventional screens, called the Hidden Touch Display. The displays can be integrated into surface materials that appear at first glance as wood, carbon fiber, or metal, and disappear when not in use. Lufthansa Technik envisions applications for this product in airliners and business jets, and the technology can be used in other ways, such as on a bulkhead for a cabin management system.

News and developments about everything that goes into the cabin of an aircraft, from floor coverings to headliners, with a special emphasis on in-flight entertainment, communications and other electronics for passengers. If it is in the cabin of an aircraft, it’s covered here.
