viewport
Screen's visible region
A viewport is the visible area of a document or image displayed on a screen.
In web development, the viewport determines how much of a webpage users can see without scrolling, and designers must account for different viewport sizes across devices from phones to desktop monitors.
The term extends to computer graphics and CAD software, where viewports are windows showing different angles or portions of a scene.
The mobile viewport is only 375 pixels wide.
