I find "MIPI Display" to work well, it's a very good trade-off between correctness, terseness and understandability, googlability,..

Well this wouldn't work because - unlike MIPI - VESA has done more for "displays" than just DisplayPort.

Consistency doesn't matter to branding.

"DisplayPort" managed to create a well known brand out of common nouns by merely dropping the whitespace between the two words. Again it's non-ambiguous, terse and understandable (no acronym). So well done and be it.

In this case it may matter, however. MIPI developed both CSI and DSI standards, so it's ambiguous to just say "MIPI." Bridge chips exist for both standards so it's useful to clarify which you're talking about.
