1. An arrangement of things in order to make something visible or available for others to see.
2. An occasion when someone shows a particular feeling, quality, or attitude.
3. A computer screen or similar piece of equipment that shows information by showing messages, data, or graphics on a monitor.
4. To put something in a special place so people can easily see.
5. Showing a feeling, quality, or attitude by the way someone behaves.
6. To show a pattern of animal behavior; for example, to attract a mate or to defend a territory.
7. Etymology: from the late 13th century, "unfurl" (a banner, etc.), from Old French desploiir and Modern French déployer, "unfold, unfasten, spread out"; such as, knots, sealed letters, etc.; from Latin displicare, "to scatter" from dis-, "un-, apart" + plicare, "to fold".

Usually a reference to sails or flags (with no connection to "play" or playing").

A display that gives the information in the form of characters (numbers or letters).

Al passive solid-state display in which an electric field controls the characteristics of light transmissions and light reflections.

A display in which various combinations of segments may be activated by applying voltages to produce any desired numerical or other characters: Electroluminescent display devices present data, usually in the form of numbers or letters, when alternating current is applied to their electroluminescent segments.

A tool with an extra semiconductor control layer which permits storing of images for controllable periods of at least an hour: The desired image is projected onto the electroluminescent display screen with ultraviolet light, and it is completely erased with infrared radiation.

1. An electronic part which converts electromagnetic signals into a visible display.
2. An electronic component which converts electric signals into visual imagery in real time that is suitable for direct interpretations by a human operator.

1. A display that forms visible images by rearranging charged pigment particles using an applied electric field.
2. A liquid crystal display in which a light-absorbing dye has been added to the liquid to improve both color and luminance contrast.

Individual electrically charged dye particles move when an electric field is applied.

3. A reflective display which offers a wide choice of colors and has a short-to-medium-term memory which consumes no power.

The heart of the display is a suspension of charge pigment particles in a liquid of another color.

The suspension, a layer typically 50 micrometers thick, is sandwiched between a pair of electrodes, one of which is transparent.

When direct current of the right polarity is applied to the electrodes, the particles are pulled toward the transparent electrode thus displacing the contrasting liquid and showing their own coloration.

Liquid-Crystal Display display

The ratio of the minimum signal input-signal power which is detectable by ideal instruments connected to the output of a receiver, to the minimum signal power detectable by a human operator through a display connected to the same receiver.
