- they don't require energy to maintain their state - a property which they share with eInk displays, but a split-flap display is unrestricted in size.
- assuming a fixed output selection, a split-flap display can also achieve far greater visual quality than other competitors like flip-dot displays
- defective units can be automatically detected (by comparing the position of the indicator magnet), whereas stuck pixels in flip-dot, matrix or LC displays require a human to spot them
