How it's used
Used primarily in formal or written contexts to describe abstract concepts, states, or complex visual phenomena becoming visible. It carries a sense of unfolding or revealing something that was previously hidden or latent. In casual speech, native speakers almost always prefer using 顯得 or 出現 instead.
Examples
A look of fear appeared on his face.
This plan has revealed many new problems.

Common phrases
to appear before one's eyes
to exhibit a state
Common mistake
Avoid using this in everyday conversation to describe simple physical objects appearing, such as a person walking into a room. Using it for mundane events makes the speaker sound like they are reading from a formal report or a news broadcast.
