on-screen display

2- On-Screen Display: Adverb + Verb (e.g. dry-cleaning)
An "On-Screen Display" is used in the cases of showing a live operation/action on a screen , e.g. by a surgeon or a lab technician in the operation room/lab. Here 'on-screen' is the adverb modifying 'display' and shows how the act of 'displaying' is being done.
For medical instruments, it shows the "continuous" and "right now" aspect of the act of displaying and is used to show an act which is being done "out-of-screen" right now and being shown "on-screen" at the same time, continuously.
