Smart Material |
The exhibit features a wooden panel that can act as display to show general information about the trip to the passengers such as cabin temperature or estimated time for arrival. This interior material is made of resin, which is decorated with Panasonic’s unique Film-in-Molding technology. This process allows creating plastic parts with the ultra-realistic look and feel of wood, metal, fabric, or leather. These parts can even be illuminated with a hidden backlight which creates a never before seen magic look of the interior decoration parts. It is even possible to animate this illumination and to use interior decoration parts as displays for safety or information purposes. |
