Divided into 5 columns:

1. thrust
2. vertical
3. lateral
4. approach capability, DH or MDA
5. autopilot, flight director, and autothrust engagement status

Columns 2 and 3 may be combined in some situations (eg. FLARE).

For columns 1, 2 and 3, the 1st line is the engaged mode. The 2nd line is the armed mode. The 3rd line shows reminders or messages (eg. CHECK APP SEL).
