Abstract
An image display apparatus includes a first casing having an operation unit, a second casing having a display unit capable of displaying a plurality of images received from different input sources, and a connection unit configured to interconnect the first and second casings and to allow the second casing to rotate relative to the first casing. Images to be displayed on the display unit are switched responsive to a rotated state of the second casing relative to the first casing.
