I am trying to use WebDriver's fluentAPI, and am slightly confused with the choices available. I want to wait for an element to become visible. I undertsand that there are many ways available to do thisbut I want to sepcifically understand the difference between the below two methods :

 (1)new FluentWait<WebElement>(webElement).
            withTimeout(timeoutSeconds, TimeUnit.SECONDS).
            pollingEvery(pollingTime, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS).
            untilwait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(element));

(2) public void waitForWebElementFluently(WebElement webElement) {
    new FluentWait<WebElement>(webElement).
            withTimeout(timeoutSeconds, TimeUnit.SECONDS).
            pollingEvery(pollingTime, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS).
            until(new Predicate<WebElement>() {
                @Override
                public boolean apply(WebElement element) {
                    return element.isDisplayed();
                }
            }
            );
}

What is the difference between using isDisplayed, and visibilityOf?
