Integrated micro-LED luminous aircraft panel

A monument installable in an aircraft cabin, comprising:

• one or more exterior surfaces;
• one or more monument panels, each monument panel coupled to at least one exterior surface and comprising:
• at least one flexible substrate;
• at least one lighting controller coupled to one or more of an aircraft power supply, an aircraft network bus, and an aircraft data interface;
• one or more light-emitting diode (LED) arrays disposed on the flexible substrate, each LED array comprising:
• a printed circuit board (PCB);
• a plurality of LED units arranged on the PCB;
• and
• at least one microcontroller attached to the PCB and electronically coupled to the lighting controller and to the plurality of LED units, one or more of the LED units configured to generate a luminous output when activated by the microcontroller;
• at least one decorative layer defining an outermost surface of the monument panel, the decorative layer capable of at least partially transmitting the luminous output into the aircraft cabin;
• and
• at least one core material layer disposed between the one or more LED arrays and the at least one decorative layer, the core material layer capable of supporting the transmission of the display output from the one or more LED arrays to the at least one decorative layer.
