I always like align the nomenclature in code with the daily business terminology in use. If business call it a display, code should reflect the same.

Now the problem is making this change, depending on the size of the code base and the public exposure(are there any public apis exposed that might need to be updated), this can be changed in a phased manner. Extreme care needs to be taken, since this can introduce reference errors.
