 Rapoport-Zink 
 formal schemes are moduli spaces of p-divisible 
 groups equipped with additional structures 
 coming from an algebraic group. In order 
 to define these formal schemes in general, one 
 is led to search for the "right" way to endow 
 a p-divisible group with the structure of 
 an arbitrary algebraic group. We discuss a Tannakian 
 approach to this problem using Zink's 
 theory of displays, and we explain how it recovers 
 another approach using crystalline Tate 
 tensors in the Hodge-type case.\n\n
