Display

1. <hardware> monitor.

2. <language> A vector of pointers to activation records. The Nth element points to the activation record containing variables declared at lexical depth N.

This allows faster access to variables from outer scopes 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.
