A seating assembly may employ one or more of: a seat stagger, a seat overlap, and a seat angling to offer significant width and comfort gains and reduce the negative impact of width and leg room gains on seating density. With one seat of a pair staggered forward with respect to the other seat each may then be moved laterally and overlap (as seen from the front). The seating positions may be further improved by angling each seat away from their center arm rest area, reducing the encroaching effect of the overlap by pointing the passenger away from the overlap, reducing the visual impact of the staggered seating by pointing the passenger away from the nearest seat ahead, and improving leg room by directing the passenger's legs forward at an angle.

An electronic display apparatus comprising a support frame, wherein mounted within the support frame there is an electronic display configured to display content based on image data, and a display driver circuit to receive the image data and to supply an image signal to the electronic display to cause the electronic display to display the content, the image signal based on the image data. Also mounted in the support frame is a connector cable connecting the display driver circuit and the electronic display for transmission of the image signal from the display driver circuit to the electronic display. The support frame is mountable to one or more surfaces so as to mount the electronic display to a first portion of the one or more surfaces and mount the display driver circuit to a second portion of the one or more surfaces that is away from the first portion, and the support frame maintains the electronic display in a spaced relationship from the display driver circuit.

An arrangement of individual seats intended to be installed in an aeroplane cabin includes at least one module of two seats disposed opposite one another, said module having a longitudinal elongation direction, characterized in that said arrangement further comprises: a console disposed between the two seats of the module; a screen connected to each seat, each screen being mounted on a screen support; the screen supports being movable between a stowed position and a deployed operating position, in which the screen supports are positioned substantially edge-to-edge and form a partition wall between the two seats located opposite one another.

Disclosed embodiments are directed at devices, methods, and systems for fixing distortions of content displayed on in-flight entertainment (IFE) monitors in a commercial passenger vehicle. An IFE monitor can receive angular measurement data from one or more gyroscope sensors to determine a differential angle of tilt of the IFE monitor. In response to determining that the differential angle of tilt is non-zero, the IFE monitor can detect that content displayed on the IFE monitor is subject to distortion. The IFE monitor can automatically apply a perspective correction to the content displayed on the IFE monitor for fixing the perceived distortion.

An electronic display apparatus comprising a support frame, wherein mounted within the support frame there is an electronic display configured to display content based on image data, and a display driver circuit to receive the image data and to supply an image signal to the electronic display to cause the electronic display to display the content, the image signal based on the image data. Also mounted in the support frame is a connector cable connecting the display driver circuit and the electronic display for transmission of the image signal from the display driver circuit to the electronic display. The support frame is mountable to one or more surfaces so as to mount the electronic display to a first portion of the one or more surfaces and mount the display driver circuit to a second portion of the one or more surfaces that is away from the first portion, and the support frame maintains the electronic display in a spaced relationship from the display driver circuit.

A passenger seat assembly can include a seat frame; a seat back supported by the seat frame, comprising a rearward surface, and moveable between a stowed position and a deployed position; and a monitor shroud positioned proximate to the rearward surface of the seat back and fixedly coupled to a stationary surface, wherein the monitor shroud remains stationary as the seat back moves between the stowed position and the deployed position, and the monitor shroud defines an opening that provides access to the rearward surface of the seat back.

A super first-class cabin includes a monitor disposed in the ceiling structure, a controller to render images on the monitor, and cameras to capture real-time streaming environmental images and renders them on the monitor. At the passenger's request, or when the passenger reclines, the controller may render a selection of mood affective images, for example to promote sleep if desired. Such mood affective images may be organized into a schedule associated with phases of flight to gently wake the passenger and prepare them for the end of the flight. The monitor may be employed to reduce the effects of flight-base time-disassociation by varying a daylight color scheme over the course of long flights, simulating a day/night routine to align the time of day at the origin of the flight with the time of day at the destination.

Described are headrests with integrated entertainment systems. The headrest includes a shell that is coupled to a seat through a headrest mount that has at least one degree of freedom of movement. The headrest shell also supports a visor with at least one side arm and a display span that may rotate between stowed and deployed positions. A neutral position mechanism supports the headrest in a neutral position and provides resistance to movement between the headrest and the passenger seat. The attachment of the visor to the headrest shell may also include an adjustment slot to allow fore and aft translation of the visor with respect to the headrest shell. The fore and aft translation of the visor allows for positioning the visor at different focal lengths, and provides extra clearance for the visor as it moves between stowed and deployed positions.

A system for communicating between passenger seats and an aircraft galley. The system may include a control unit including a display area for interfacing with a crew member. The system may include a plurality of devices, each positioned at a respective passenger seat. The control unit may be adapted to display on the display area data related to a particular order, including a location of an associated passenger seat. The control unit may be further adapted to transmit to a particular device associated with the order notifications concerning a status of the particular order.

A system includes a passenger seat. A biometric sensor is configured to monitor at least one biometric of a passenger seated in the passenger seat. A controller is operatively connected to control the biometric sensor and to provide output indicative of a health condition of the passenger based on the biometric.
