Why outlook shows only sender email address instead of Display Name?

There are many possibilities. One of them is a by-design mechanism to prevent spoofed emails.

To prevent spoofing, Exchange 2003 requires authentication before a sender’s name is resolved in GAL. So be alarmed when you see SMTP address instead of display name in the sender field when the sender is supposed to be an internal user.
