Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'computer' (an electronic device) with 'display' (a screen that shows visual data): a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer this is the screen associated with a computer. This modifier+noun compounding is a common, compositional pattern in English and other languages, so prior exposure is not required for comprehension.
Etymology
The term computer display is a simple compound of computer and display, where display means 'to show', so imagine a window that lets you see what the computer is doing. That's why it means 'a screen that shows pictures, text, and other information from the computer'.
