1.
display screen; display
The screen of a device on which information is shown to the user — for example the panel of a smartphone, the monitor of a PC, or the LCD readout of an appliance. Often used in technical manuals and UI documentation to refer to whatever layout is currently visible on the screen.
表示画面が暗い。
The display screen is dark.
表示画面にエラーメッセージが出た。
An error message appeared on the display screen.
設定を変えると表示画面のレイアウトが切り替わる。
When you change the settings, the layout of the display screen switches accordingly.
Compound of 表示 ('display; indication') and 画面 ('screen'). Used in technical contexts — device manuals, software documentation, UI design — to refer to the currently visible screen or screen layout, as opposed to the physical hardware panel.
USAGE:
- Often refers to the logical content shown on the screen (a window, menu, or view), not just the physical surface.
- Frequently appears with verbs like 切り替わる ('to switch'), 表示される ('to be displayed'), or 更新される ('to be updated').
- In user manuals, directions like 「表示画面の指示に従ってください」 ('Follow the instructions on the display') are common.
COMMON COLLOCATIONS:
- 表示画面を確認する: to check the display screen
- 表示画面が切り替わる: the display screen switches
- 表示画面に表示される: to be shown on the display screen
- 表示画面の設定: display screen settings
- 表示画面が消える: the display screen goes blank

- モニター: monitor — usually a standalone computer or video monitor; a hardware term.
- 液晶画面: LCD screen — specifies the panel technology; contrast with 有機EL画面 (OLED screen).
