A '''multifunction display''' ('''MFD''') is a small-screen ([[cathode -ray tube|CRT]] or [[LCD]]) surrounded by multiple [[soft key]]s (configurable buttons) that can be used to display information to the user in numerous configurable ways. MFDs originated in aviation, first in military aircraft, and later were adopted by commercial aircraft, [[general aviation]], automotive use, motorsports use, and shipboard use.
