</div>Hidden
Use .hidden to set an element to display: none and remove it from the page layout (compare with .invisible from the visibility documentation).

<div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">2</div>
<div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">3</div>
</div>Responsive
To control the display property of an element at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing display utility class. For example, use md:inline-flex to apply the inline-flex utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="flex sm:inline-flex md:block lg:hidden xl:flex ...">

</div>Customizing
Responsive and pseudo-class variants
By default, only responsive variants are generated for display utilities.
You can control which variants are generated for the display utilities by modifying the display property in the variants section of your tailwind.config.js file.
For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
variants: {
// ...
- display: ['responsive'],
+ display: ['responsive', 'hover', 'focus'],
}
}Disabling
If you don't plan to use the display utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the display property to false in the corePlugins section of your config file:
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
corePlugins: {
// ...
+ display: false,
}
}
