Why the TM156VDSG17 is a Good Fit for Airplane Headrest Displays
Clear Visuals with Full HD Resolution
Passengers increasingly expect clear and detailed visuals during their flights, whether for entertainment or viewing flight-related information. The TM156VDSG17 provides 1920×1080 full HD resolution, delivering sharp images and clear text. This enhances the viewing experience for entertainment content and makes flight-related information like schedules and updates easy to see.
Wide Viewing Angles for Passenger Comfort
In an aircraft cabin, passengers may adjust their seats or view screens from different angles. The TM156VDSG17 uses SFT technology to offer wide viewing angles (88 degree from all directions), ensuring that the image remains clear and colors stay accurate when viewed from the side or at an angle. This makes it easier for passengers to enjoy content.
Brightness Suitable for Variable Cabin Lighting
Lighting conditions on a plane can vary from bright daylight to dimmed lighting during night flights. The TM156VDSG17 has a brightness level of 400 cd/m², which provides good visibility across these conditions. This reduces eye strain for passengers in different lighting conditions.
Reliable Performance with Extended Backlight Life
Durability is an important factor in aviation, where equipment must function reliably over time. The TM156VDSG17 features WLED backlighting with a lifespan of over 50,000 hours. This reduces the frequency of replacements and helps airlines minimize maintenance efforts and costs.
Robust Build for Challenging Conditions
Aviation displays must withstand temperature changes and vibrations during flight. The TM156VDSG17 is built to operate within a temperature range of -20°C to 70°C and can handle vibrations up to 1.2G. These features ensure consistent performance in the fluctuating conditions of in-flight environments.
Efficient Data Transmission with LVDS Interface
The TM156VDSG17 utilizes LVDS interface, enabling high-speed, low-power data transmission with minimal electromagnetic interference. This ensures smooth playback of entertainment content and rapid display of flight information.
Supports Clear Presentation of Safety Information
In addition to entertainment, headrest displays play a role in delivering important safety information. The TM156VDSG17 can be used to show emergency instructions and safety guidelines, helping passengers stay informed during critical situations. Its reliable performance,high contrast ratio (1000:1) and clear visuals ensure that such information is easily readable when needed.
Slim Profile for Easy Integration into Cabin Designs
Aircraft cabins have limited space, and displays need to fit into compact areas without affecting passenger comfort. The TM156VDSG17 has an slim profile, with a thickness of just 6.3 ± 0.5 mm, allows for seamless integration into headrests without adding unnecessary bulk.
Vivid Color Reproduction for Enhanced Viewing
The TM156VDSG17 offers excellent color accuracy with a 72% NTSC color gamut and supports 16.7 million colors, delivering vibrant, true-to-life visuals. Its 1000:1 contrast ratio ensures deep blacks and bright whites, enhancing image clarity and making in-flight entertainment more engaging.
