Abstract

A display apparatus comprising a display portion capable of simultaneously displaying a first image and a second image, the first image being viewable from a position in a first view angle and the second image being viewable from a position in a second view angle, wherein the display apparatus has a reflective member reflecting the second image and displays predetermined specific information through the second image, the reflective member offering a third view angle that allows viewing of the second image.

Claims

1. A display apparatus comprising a display portion capable of simultaneously displaying a first image and a second image, the first image being viewable from a position in a first view angle and the second image being viewable from a position in a second view angle, wherein

the display apparatus has a reflective member reflecting the second image and displays predetermined specific information through the second image, the reflective member offering a third view angle that allows viewing of the second image.

2. The display apparatus as defined in claim 1, so configured that the third view angle is a view angle narrower in range than the first view angle, and that both of the first image displayed by the display apparatus and the second image reflected by the reflective member are viewable from a position in the third view angle.

3. The display apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein

the specific information is information of security.

4. The display apparatus as defined in claim 3, wherein

the specific information is information on basic setting of the display apparatus or of an apparatus incorporating the display apparatus.

5. The display apparatus as defined in claim 3, wherein

the specific information is information of personal information.

6. The display apparatus as defined in claim 3, wherein

the specific information is information on a transmission destination of data to be transmitted.

7. The display apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein

the reflective member is adjustable in angle relative to the display portion.

8. The display apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein

the display portion so carries out display as to make a display area for the second image smaller than a display area for the first image.

9. An electronic apparatus having the display apparatus as defined in claim 1 and allowing given operational input to the display apparatus.
