The Oat Foundry Split Flap Display is a modern take on the classic ‘departures’ boards historically found in European airports. Split Flaps are one-of-a-kind, unforgettable installations: the intersection of mesmerizing art, electro-mechanical complexity, and interactive technology.
A completely re-imagined modular design allows for the nostalgic technology to be reliable and applied to a plethora of use cases. Today, Split Flap Displays are used in dozens of different ways worldwide.
The familiar clack clack sound that sparks memories of past travels remains the same and continues to delight viewers, young and old.

I ❤love SPLIT-FLAPs. I like them even more when few lines are refreshing at any one time... like in ARRIVAL / DEPARTURE terminals. You deserve a lot of credit to bring this stuff into the future.

Watching the board in slow motion, the numbers and characters are interspersed amongst the alphabet letters. Is there a reason that you chose to do that, or would I be right in thinking it is for aesthetics?
@OatFoundry
@OatFoundry 3 жыл бұрын
You have a good eye! This is hard to notice. One of the major reasons is so the sign can act as a clock. Counting up, down, and keeping track of time down to the second. This helps keep the timing consistent when you ask the display to show any character.

I remember them as train station arrival/departures and then as a clocks. Sadly everyone knows that replacing analog device which is costly to manufacture/assemble by electronic device with barely any moving parts makes sense economically. Like Cassette recorder, Floppies, CD-ROM by memory cards or USB flash drives, analog clock by digital ones (except they remained to show social status), and these boards by LEDs. One Flip-flap can be replaced by 5x7 large LED which cost like 5$ total for one letter. I remember that departure boards were/still are printed at smaller stations with like 50 to 100 trains per day and main train station had departures printed on large format paper wrapped around cylinders in wooden boxes that could be rotated by hand with late trains being announced by a local radio. (Passenger train number 4361 will be 45 minutes late. The expected delay is subject to change). Later this was digitalized and broken into parts recorded independently so it became Passenger train number - 4 - 3 - 6 - 1 - will be - 4 - 5 - minutes - late
