Abstract

A display apparatus for a passenger cabin of an aircraft or spacecraft, said display apparatus comprising a display device, which is arranged at a predetermined display device inclination angle to a supply duct of the passenger cabin, wherein the display device is configured in such a way that a virtual image plane of the display device has a predetermined virtual image plane inclination angle to the supply duct, said virtual image plane inclination angle differing from the display device inclination angle. A passenger cabin for an aircraft or spacecraft comprising a display apparatus of this type, and an aircraft or spacecraft comprising a display apparatus of this type or comprising a passenger cabin of this type.

Claims

1. A display apparatus for a passenger cabin of an aircraft or spacecraft, said display apparatus comprising a display device, which is arranged at a predetermined display device inclination angle to a supply duct of the passenger cabin, wherein the display device is configured in such a way that a virtual image plane of the display device has a predetermined virtual image plane inclination angle to the supply duct, said virtual image plane inclination angle differing from the display device inclination angle.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display device is configured as an autostereoscopic multi-view 3D display.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display apparatus has an inclination angle adjustment device to adjust the display device inclination angle.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the virtual image plane inclination angle is greater than the predetermined display device inclination angle.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display device is integrated, at least over portions, in a cover panel of the supply duct.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a width of the display device is greater than a width of the supply duct.

7. A passenger cabin for an aircraft or spacecraft comprising a display apparatus according to claim 1.

8. A passenger cabin according to claim 7, wherein the display apparatus is arranged, at least over portions, in a supply duct of the passenger cabin.

9. An aircraft or spacecraft comprising a display apparatus according to claim 1.

10. An aircraft or spacecraft comprising a passenger cabin according to claim 7.
