# Show Frame
The show frame function.
Display an [Image](/microbit/reference/image/image) on the BBC micro:bit's [LED screen](/microbit/device/screen)
### KindScript
```
export function showFrame(img: micro_bit.Image, frame: number)
```
### Parameters
* index - [Number](/microbit/reference/types/number); which frame of the image to display
### Difference from `plot frame`
The `show frame` function is the same as [plot frame](/microbit/reference/image/plot-frame), but contains a built-in delay after the LED screen has been updated (whereas `plot frame` has no built-in delay)
### Example
```
let img = images.createImage(`
# . . . # # . . . #
. # . # . . # # # .
. . # . . . # # # .
. # . # . . # # # .
# . . . # # . . . #
`)
img.showFrame(1)
```
