The displays are probably in a service mode or in standby. Maybe they replaced the products below or displays itself and have to update the system. Or maybe they lost connection to the controlling unit or need to be charged and therefore went in a standby like mode.

Edit: if they would want to get you to look the price up, they probably wouldnt link the app, without any advice to look up the price online.

(id like to point out that this is a Lidl in D/A/CH region, and such systems are not known/ used here.)
