Display

Quickly and responsively toggle the display value of components and more with the display utilities. Includes support for some of the more common values, as well as some extras for controlling display when printing.

Examples

Inline

<Box component="div" sx={{ display: 'inline' }}>inline</Box>
<Box component="div" sx={{ display: 'inline' }}>inline</Box>

Block

<Box component="span" sx={{ display: 'block' }}>block</Box>
<Box component="span" sx={{ display: 'block' }}>block</Box>

Hiding elements

For faster mobile-friendly development, use responsive display classes for showing and hiding elements by device. Avoid creating entirely different versions of the same site, instead hide element responsively for each screen size.

Screen Size	Class
Hidden on all	sx={{ display: 'none' }}
Hidden only on xs	sx={{ display: { xs: 'none', sm: 'block' } }}
Hidden only on sm	sx={{ display: { xs: 'block', sm: 'none', md: 'block' } }}
Hidden only on md	sx={{ display: { xs: 'block', md: 'none', lg: 'block' } }}
Hidden only on lg	sx={{ display: { xs: 'block', lg: 'none', xl: 'block' } }}
Hidden only on xl	sx={{ display: { xs: 'block', xl: 'none' } }}
Visible only on xs	sx={{ display: { xs: 'block', sm: 'none' } }}
Visible only on sm	sx={{ display: { xs: 'none', sm: 'block', md: 'none' } }}
Visible only on md	sx={{ display: { xs: 'none', md: 'block', lg: 'none' } }}
Visible only on lg	sx={{ display: { xs: 'none', lg: 'block', xl: 'none' } }}
