The CONTCAR_disp-N file is an output file of a split finite differences calculation that contains the structural information of the Nth displacement.

This file has the same format as the CONTCAR or POSCAR file. It is typically generated alongside the vaspcheckfd.h5 file by setting CHECKPOINT_FD = PREPARE. The CONTCAR_disp-N file can be renamed and used as the POSCAR input for a subsequent displacement calculation, e.g., CHECKPOINT_FD = SINGLE.
