The term 'explicit display' is commonly used in Brazilian Portuguese in both formal technical contexts (computing, engineering) and colloquial speech. In the USA, the phrase gained prominence with content rating systems (explicit content warnings). The concept varies culturally: Brazilian culture may be more accepting of explicit emotional displays in public settings, while American contexts often relate the term to content restrictions and warnings.
