More general and casual; refers to items arranged for people to see, often in a shop, window, or home, focusing on how they are set out.

The bakery arranged a colorful display of cakes in the front window.
面包店在橱窗前摆了一个色彩缤纷的蛋糕陈列。
Display and exhibit both mean an item shown to people. Display is more casual, often items arranged in a shop window or at home. Exhibit is more formal, usually a museum or exhibition item, often with information for visitors.
两个词都指供人参观的物品，但display更强调“展示、陈列”的动作和摆放方式，也可指店铺、橱窗里的陈列，甚至指“显示器”；exhibit更正式，常指博物馆、展览会中经过挑选、有说明的展品。这里不比较display在其他语境中“表现出（感情、品质）”的用法，也不比较exhibit作动词“展出、显露”的用法。
