Abstract
A display apparatus includes a display unit that includes a first area that stretches along an outer periphery of the display unit and a second area in which an image can be displayed. In the first area, a plurality of sensors that senses a finger touch is arranged. A pattern determining unit determines a pattern of the finger touch based on a sequence and a position of the finger touch obtained as result of sensing by the sensors. An orientation determining unit determines orientation of an image to be displayed on the second area based on the pattern of the finger touch. A control unit displays an image on the second area in the determined orientation.
