Definition
展示 (zhǎnshì) means 'to display, show, or exhibit' and is the most general, all-purpose verb for presenting something for others to see — whether objects, designs, or qualities. It is broader than 展览 (zhǎnlǎn), which specifically means 'to hold or put on an exhibition', and more neutral than 展出 (zhǎnchū), which emphasizes the act of putting something on display at an event. 出示 (chūshì) is narrower, used only for showing documents or ID.
