::The article as it is now states that "A multi-function display (MFD) is a small screen (CRT or LCD) surrounded by multiple soft keys (configurable buttons) that can be used to display information to the user in numerous configurable ways." It sounds completely like they made up the term and classified it (a display as multi-function) based on how it is designed. Technically, all touch-screens are multi-functional, so why not instead merge this page with [[Touchscreen]] instead?

:::That makes no sense, since you do not touch the screen on a traditional MFD. Why not merge [[lightpen]] into touchscreen, while you're at it? That also isn't a touchscreen, but also gives a display additional functions. Lightpens touch the screen, but not in the way that "touchscreens" are touched. -- [[Special:Contributions/70.51.200.162|70.51.200.162]] ([[User talk:70.51.200.162|talk]]) 03:20, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

: '''Keep''', since this is a useful article on a significant topic which simply needs expansion. Furthermore, it can't be merged/redirected to an existing aviation article because MFDs are widely used outside transport (pre-touchscreen ATMs being a common example). --[[User:Pmj|pmj]] ([[User talk:Pmj|talk]]) 13:41, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
