Outdoor Full-Color LED Screens: More Than Commerce, Urban Culture Carriers

As cities accelerate their digital transformation, Outdoor Full-Color LED Screens have long transcended their role as mere commercial tools, becoming important disseminators that carry urban memories, convey cultural connotations, and unite citizens’ emotions, allowing culture to be integrated into daily life in a more vibrant and relatable way.

Capturing Urban Memories, Making History and Culture Tangible and Touchable

The cultural roots of a city lie in its old crafts, bygone eras, and traditional customs. Outdoor Full-Color Screens are becoming “digital windows” to awaken these memories. In historical and cultural districts, curved or irregularly shaped full-color screens blend seamlessly with the ancient architectural style. The screens display the delicate processes of intangible cultural heritage artisans and the breakdown of traditional crafts, presented in high definition with exquisite detail. Dynamic images of local folk arts and performances, accompanied by subtitles, allow even strangers to understand the cultural charm within.

The screen content will dynamically adjust according to the solar terms and traditional festivals: Qingming Festival will showcase traditional food preparation techniques, Dragon Boat Festival will display folk activities, and Mid-Autumn Festival will focus on local festival customs, making cultural dissemination relevant to daily life. In addition, digitally restored footage of old cities—including the cries of traditional artisans, the making of street food, and scenes of life in old neighborhoods—will be played on large screens in core business districts at fixed times, creating a harmonious blend of old and new with the surrounding modern shops. This allows older generations to relive their youthful memories, while younger generations can connect with the city’s past, achieving intergenerational transmission of historical culture.

Establishing a public platform for two-way interaction in popular culture

Outdoor full-color screens have broken the “one-way output” model of cultural dissemination, building a public cultural stage that everyone can participate in. In community squares, full-color screens often become residents’ “cultural showcases”: the “My Hometown Through My Eyes” image collection activity initiated by the community allows citizens to record urban scenery, neighborhood daily life, traditional customs and other content with their mobile phones, which is then edited and displayed on the big screen; clips of traditional skills inheritance shared by the elderly and heartwarming street moments recorded by ordinary people can not only resonate with neighbors, but also form secondary dissemination on social media platforms, making community culture full of life.

In shopping districts frequented by young people, the combination of naked-eye 3D technology and cultural interaction makes cultural dissemination more engaging. Activities such as dialect challenges and traditional lantern riddle quizzes allow passersby to trigger unique screen animations, making local dialects and traditional literacy knowledge more accessible and enjoyable. Some cities have even launched “digital intangible cultural heritage experiences,” where citizens can simulate traditional handicraft production processes through screen gestures, transforming cultural learning from “passive viewing” to “active participation,” significantly enhancing the effectiveness of cultural dissemination.

Connecting commerce and culture to naturally realize cultural values

The cultural dissemination on outdoor full-color screens is not completely separated from commerce, but rather forms a virtuous cycle of “culture empowering commerce, and commerce in turn supporting culture.” Many full-color screens in traditional business districts have abandoned rigid promotional advertisements and instead deeply integrated the stories of time-honored brands with traditional culture: when playing traditional food making techniques, they naturally intersperse information on discounts from nearby time-honored brands; when showcasing traditional folk performances, they indicate the locations of nearby intangible cultural heritage experience stores, making cultural content a “soft link” for attracting customers.

In cultural and creative parks, full-color screens become “mobile art exhibitions.” Operators collaborate with local artists, transforming paintings, sculptures, and other works into dynamic images using digital technology. Interactive QR codes are placed next to the screens, allowing visitors to scan and learn about the creative concepts and purchase cultural and creative products, seamlessly connecting art and culture with commercial consumption. In this model, commercial brands are no longer simply advertisers but participants in cultural dissemination. Consumers experience the charm of culture while developing a positive impression of the brands, achieving a win-win situation for both commercial and cultural value.

Enhancing the City’s Character and Infusing Everyday Life with Cultural Atmosphere

The cultural dissemination through outdoor full-color screens is further reflected in shaping the city’s character. Unlike the hustle and bustle of neon lights, full-color screens carrying cultural content, with their soft lighting and warm content, imbue urban public spaces with a more humanistic atmosphere. Around parks and libraries, screens display excerpts from classic books, poetry recitations, and natural science popularization, creating a rich cultural ambiance. Near city landmarks, full-color screens, combined with architectural features, present thematic images related to the city’s spirit, becoming a “visual calling card” showcasing the city’s cultural confidence.

These screens are no longer cold electronic devices, but rather like “cultural neurons” of the city, connecting scattered cultural resources and integrating them into citizens’ daily commutes, leisure activities, and consumption. Whether it’s intangible cultural heritage videos glimpsed while waiting for the bus or community cultural displays seen during an after-dinner walk, cultural dissemination no longer requires deliberately entering museums or theaters, but rather subtly permeates the soul, making the city warmer and more distinctive.

The upgraded value of outdoor full-color screens witnesses the innovation in urban cultural dissemination. They are no longer merely tools for commercial marketing, but have become bridges connecting history and modernity, officialdom and the public, culture and daily life. As the content on full-color screens shifts from “promotional information” to “cultural stories,” and from “one-way playback” to “two-way interaction,” they carry not only high-definition images, but also the cultural memory, spiritual core, and civic sentiments of a city. In the future, with continuous technological iteration, these “light and shadow communicators” will undoubtedly give urban culture a more lasting vitality, allowing each city to possess a unique cultural imprint.
