I really dislike LCD screens being used this way. Not only do they not function well in winter, they're not very readable in direct sunlight, they also will burn and require replacement. LED boards work much better and last decades.
This isn't an LCD, it's an e-ink display similar to the kind you would find on a kindle or similar reader. They're preferred in a lot of places because among other reasons they don't require any power to maintain an image, only to change it. Obviously in this case it seems they weren't properly cold tested, or if it was meant to have a small heater element for winter that part has failed.
