Key Considerations in Aerospace Applications
Durability and Safety: Both electronic components and LCDs used in aerospace applications must meet rigorous standards to ensure long-term reliability and safety. Components must withstand the harsh conditions of space and flight, including extreme temperatures, radiation, and physical stress.
Miniaturization and Power Efficiency: Aerospace applications often demand small, lightweight, and power-efficient components. Advances in system-on-chip (SoC) technologies and low-power LCDs help meet these requirements while maintaining high performance and reliability.
Cost and Maintenance: In the aerospace industry, components must be cost-effective, yet maintain high levels of reliability and long operational lifespans. Electronics and LCDs must be easy to maintain and service, either in-flight or during scheduled maintenance intervals, to reduce downtime and operational costs.
