Illuminated Printed Touch Control

Project number
16013
Organization
Rockwell Collins (B/E Aerospace)
Academic year
2016-2017
The goal of this project is to develop an indiscernible button to perform a specific function to enhance airline passenger experience in super first class suites.

This system can be used to adjust passenger seats, open and close window shades, or turn the in-flight entertainment system on and off.

The new system improves upon current button design by introducing a fabric with electroluminescent paint that helps reduce failure due to accidents and reduces total system footprint. The paint doubles as a light source illuminating the buttons concealed under the fabric.
