Panasonic Avionics has unveiled an extension of its Astrova IFE portfolio with new 4K OLED monitors for First and Business Class cabins.
The larger screens will be available to airlines in five sizes: 19, 22, 27, 32, and 42 inches, boosting the appeal of Astrova for the wide-body aircraft market.
Each of the new monitors will be 4K OLED, enabling Panasonic Avionics to offer airlines the highest definition and image quality in the skies in every aircraft cabin.
The image quality is sharper, clearer, and with infinite contrast ratio to deliver cinema-quality colours and perfect black. Combined, this provides a better viewing experience than has ever been available before on a commercial aircraft.
Andy Masson, Vice President of Product Management at Panasonic Avionics, said: “Astrova is transforming the seat back into an easily configured, flexible and personalised digital channel that caters to the individual needs of each passenger, enabling airlines to engage with their customers in flight like never before.
“With the introduction of these new 4K OLED screens for premium aircraft cabins, Panasonic Avionics is enabling airlines to enhance engagement with their most high yielding passengers, helping them to not only retain existing customers, but also attract new ones.” Astrova is Panasonic Avionics’ next-generation IFE seat-end solution. It redefines the role of seatback IFE and reinforces its position as the most valuable opportunity for an airline to engage with its passengers.
