    What is the difference between the text display vs label? They would
    seem to be different "objects" in Cadence?? I am not sure how to think
    about each of them. They both seem to be capable to have the same
    layer-purpose pair.

    I was also curious once I stream out my database to a gds if they both
    continue to retain a difference or if they both became text in gds.
    Just wondering, thanks for any insight.

    A label is just a label, a stand-alone object.

    A text display is associated with another object, usually a pin. The
    usual
    use of a text display is to visually display the value of a pin name.
