Picture Flap in Motion

What is a Picture Flap?

A Picture Flap display is a Split Flap that uses images instead of words. Using the same mechanical motion as Split Flap, each flap of a Picture Flap flips to show a different part of a picture. At first, everything looks mixed up, like an unfinished puzzle. Then, one by one, the pieces flip… flip… flip… until they all match and make a full picture.

How are Picture Flaps made?

Picture Flap displays follow a similar process to Split Flap. You can watch the process here or read more about it on our Analog Design blog.

How do custom Picture Flaps compare to alternatives?

Picture Flap has a limited number of alternatives, as comparable installations are often makeshift or custom-built. A common comparison of Picture Flap is with video walls and screen displays. Picture Flap draws a fraction of the heat and energy required to run these digital counterparts, providing a sustainable solution for eco-friendly brands.
