# Display

The [Display metadata view](https://github.com/onflow/flow-nft/blob/461524168b50d015fffec23f33bba5adabdbe791/contracts/MetadataViews.cdc#L94) tells Flowty how to show an NFT. Display provides specifications for NFT cards, asset detail pages, and activity pages. 

NFT cards make use of **name** and **thumbnail** from the Display view:
