Unilumin MIP large screen illuminates Shanghai Hongqiao Airport T2’s brand-new art landmark

As global trade continues to deepen, the annual passenger volume at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport has reached the 50-million mark. To further alleviate congestion and optimize the passenger experience, Hongqiao Airport’s T2 departure level has opened a new passenger corridor (the Central Corridor) between Check-in Islands B and C; above the corridor, a giant LED digital art installation—the “Golden Stream Theater”—has been spectacularly illuminated in sync!

As Shanghai’s premier transportation gateway to the world, Hongqiao Airport is welcoming more than just an increase in travel efficiency. In collaboration with JCDecaux Airport Momentum, it has introduced Unilumin’s cutting-edge MIP display solution: a 141-square-meter high-quality screen serves as a window for showcasing Haipai culture, creating a “urban living room” that combines functionality with humanistic warmth within this bustling transport hub.

The打通 of this corridor goes beyond physical space—it also strengthens the channels for spreading urban culture. Against the backdrop of deep integration among culture, commerce, tourism, sports, and exhibitions, modern airports have long transcended their role as mere transit hubs, becoming key platforms for showcasing a city’s soft power and regional image.

“Golden Stream Theater”: Encountering Haipai Culture at the Crossroads of Passenger Flow

The “Golden Stream Theater” is positioned as a digital art platform that combines public‑interest cultural promotion with high‑end commercial displays. The installation integrates Unilumin LED facade screens with corridor screens, drawing inspiration from autumn Shanghai and blending naked-eye 3D visual effects with an immersive sound system to weave Shanghai cultural symbols like Shikumen into the passenger flow, transforming what can be a rigid, hurried transit point into a dynamic art space.

From check‑in and baggage drop to security screening, countless travelers encounter the warmth of Shanghai simply by looking up or pausing along their journey.

Mrs. Lin, traveling with her child, stopped to take photos and said, “The screen is incredibly clear, yet the lighting feels very comfortable—even when viewed up close, it’s not harsh. My child kept pointing at the screen; the imagery really captures the city’s unique character.”

Digital artistic storytelling can deeply resonate with audiences only when backed by reliable industrial‑grade display technology. The entire “Golden Stream Theater” installation uses Unilumin’s flagship product—the UslimⅢ MIP series display. Combined with Unilumin’s proprietary EBL+ optical processing technology, the screen delivers precise, delicate color transitions; even when passengers stop nearby, the overall picture quality remains soft, visually comfortable, and non‑glaring.

Transportation hubs see heavy foot traffic, subjecting screens to the dual challenges of prolonged, frequent illumination and exposure to airborne dust. Unilumin’s UslimⅢ MIP modules feature a special demagnetization design that effectively prevents dust adhesion, ensuring cleanliness and consistent visual performance over extended operation; they also support quick disassembly and reassembly, fully meeting the airport’s stringent requirements for efficient maintenance.

Stunning “Maglev”: Another Evolution and Breakthrough for Double‑Sided Displays

In transportation hubs where pedestrian flows converge densely, achieving wide coverage and high efficiency in information delivery is equally critical. At Hongqiao Airport’s T2 departure hall, Unilumin has also lit up a brand‑new ultra‑thin double‑sided LED screen—the Uslim S2 MIP.

Looking up from afar, the entire screen appears to float in midair, with no cluttered external wiring visible. The Uslim S2 features an ultra‑lightweight design and supports independent customized dual‑sided displays with varying pitches, brightness levels, and content, ensuring key information is accurately conveyed regardless of the passenger’s route. Additionally, the product incorporates multiple protective features—including anti‑fall, anti‑vibration, anti‑dust, and fire‑retardant designs—to uphold rigorous public safety standards.

In Conclusion

Airports are both the starting point for cities connecting to the world and the first glimpse the world gets of those cities.

From smart transportation to cultural airports, from the poetic humanism of the “Golden Stream Theater” to the efficiency leap delivered by the “Maglev” double‑sided screen, Unilumin Technology remains committed to customer needs and scenario value, empowering urban infrastructure development with stable, reliable, and cutting‑edge LED lighting products and solutions.

In the future, Unilumin will continue to partner with stakeholders to illuminate canvases that blend technological sophistication with humanistic warmth at more transportation gateways and urban landmarks worldwide
