Word origin

来电显示 (láidiànxiǎnshì, "incoming-call display") joins the concepts of an incoming call and visible information, which explains its use for the service or result shown on the receiving device.

Usage tips

  • A displayed name can be a company or a saved contact, so the screen identifies a stored or registered record rather than proving who is holding the phone.
