screen image

What you're viewing

A screen image is what appears on a display—a television, computer monitor, or phone screen.

The term emphasizes the visual content as distinct from the physical device: The screen image flickered during the storm.

In technical contexts, it may refer to a captured snapshot of what's displayed, though screenshot is more common for that sense.
