From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
display 1. {monitor}. 2. A vector of pointers to {activation record}s. The Nth element points to the activation record containing variables declared at {lexical depth} N. This allows faster access to variables from outer {scope}s than the alternative of linked activation records (but most variable accesses are either local or global or occasionally to the immediately enclosing scope). Displays were used in some {ALGOL} implementations. (1996-02-22)
