Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'video' specifies the type of content and 'display' names the device that shows it, so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to a screen or monitor that shows video. This noun–noun compounding follows common English and cross-linguistic patterns, making the expression immediately understandable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Video display combines video, meaning 'moving pictures', and display, meaning 'to show'. So it refers to an electronic screen that shows images or information.
