Abstract

A display device for displaying an activation status of an emergency chute in an aircraft has an optical display device, an acoustic signal device, a sensor for sensing proximity of a person to the display device, and an electronic unit. The electronic unit is configured to operate the optical display device or the acoustic signal device when the detected proximity of a person is less than a predetermined limit distance. The optical display device, the acoustic signal device, the sensor, and the electronic unit form a compact unit that can be integrated into a door panel of an aircraft door.
