On January 21, the renovation project of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum's dome screen theater was successfully completed and officially opened. The biggest highlight of this upgrade was the introduction of the country's first 700-square-meter LED dome specially customized for popular science venues. The dome is constructed by Nanjing Lop Technology Co., Ltd., with an overall diameter of 23 meters and a tilt angle set to 30. It not only supports 8K ultra-high definition resolution display, but also is equipped with a 7.1-channel surround sound system to accurately realize real-time starry sky simulation, dynamic demonstration of complex astronomical phenomena and other functions bring an immersive science experience to the audience.

The Shanghai Science and Technology Museum is located in Century Square in Pudong New District, with a total construction area of 100,600 square meters. It is an important popular science education landmark in Shanghai. This renovation of the dome theater is the largest facility upgrade project launched by the museum in the past two years. The core goal is to optimize the popular science display form through hardware iteration and further improve the audience's interactive experience and knowledge acquisition efficiency.

As a core equipment supplier this time, Nanjing Loop has profound technical accumulation and rich project experience in the field of dome screens. Up to now, the company has more than 40 dome and dome projects built or under construction around the world, including 8 projects specifically built for popular science venues, and its business landscape covers many countries and regions such as China, Japan, North America, and Europe. This new LED dome has strong scene adaptability. In addition to the core astronomy science display, it can also be widely used in multiple scenes such as concert performances, brand launches, and contemporary art exhibitions, achieving multiple uses for one screen.

According to public information, Nanjing Loop was founded in 1988 and is affiliated to the 14th Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group. It is one of the first professional institutions in China to devote themselves to the research and development, production and application of large-scale LED displays. It relies on its excellent technical strength to deeply cultivate the industry for more than 30 years.

It is worth mentioning that Loop's technological breakthroughs in the field of cinema display do not stop there. In August 2024, the company's independently developed 20-meter 4K fully transparent LED movie screen successfully passed DCI certification, marking that its products have reached international cinema display standards. The specifications of this movie screen are 20.48 meters wide and 10.8 meters high. It not only perfectly matches the dual display standards of cinema SDR and HDR, but also innovatively adopts full sound transparency technology. It has four core advantages: full-area sound transparency, no reflection interference, and full equipment compatibility., effectively solving the pain points such as unsynchronized sound and pictures on traditional theater screens and affected by reflections.

At present, Loop's LEDMAX series of movie screens have achieved extensive deployment in the domestic market, covering cinemas in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Hubei, Sichuan, Chongqing and other provinces and cities; at the same time, it has actively expanded overseas markets and successfully entered Fort Smith, Chicago and other cities in the United States. Cinema in cities such as Chicago has gained global market recognition for its high-quality products.
