In operation's the way to be displayed (2,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

on show

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'be displayed' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'in operation's the way' is the wordplay.
'in operation's' becomes 'on's'.
'the way' becomes 'how' (how something is done).
'ons'+'how'='ON SHOW'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for on show that I've seen before include "being demonstrated" , "Exhibited" .)
