To meet the demand of power system development，the concept of information adaptive display is presented and its implications are treated.A model is proposed for the power system operating information adaptive display，and a description of the content of its research is made.It is pointed out by referring to the model that input and output technology available should be rationally integrated by relying on the latest computer software and hardware and network communication technology.Adaptive display technology research should be performed using such theories as pattern recognition and artificial intelligence available.The theme demonstrating content design should be performed by fully merging the research results of power system operation analysis and operating information display to provide adaptive display with guarantee of means and content.It is pointed out that the human factor theory feedback can be used for improvement and，by repeated examination through the sequential closed-loop research process and free dispersive research process，a set of fairly perfect theoretical system of power system operating information adaptive display will be formed step by step.
