A displayer is an output destination for logging. NeL provides several useful displayers by default. You can have the ability to create a myriad of custom displayers to suit whatever your needs may be. For network services (any NeL application that inherits from IService or uses the NLNET_SERVICE_MAIN macro) you can configure which displayer to use by using the "WindowStyle" configuration variable.
