1. A display device comprising:
- a display screen;
a multiple display section which obtains a plurality of images and displays the plurality of images on the display screen while the plurality of images are visually overlapped;
a point specifying acceptance section which accepts specifying manipulation for specifying a point on the display screen;
an area analysis section which analyzes a feature area having a visual feature for each of the plurality of images, the visual feature being used to distinguish an image from other images in the plurality of images; and
an image display section which displays an image on the display screen, the image corresponding to a feature area to which the point specified by the specifying manipulation belongs in the feature areas analyzed by the area analysis section when the multiple display section displays the plurality of images while the plurality of images are overlapped.

Abstract
A feature area having a visual feature is analyzed for each of at least three of similar images in a memory card, and the analyzed feature areas are displayed on a display screen while overlapped with a reference image. The visual feature is used to distinguish an image from other images in the plural images. In the case where the images of the feature areas are displayed on the display screen while visually overlapped, when a user touches a touch panel on the display screen, the image corresponding to the feature area to which the touched point belongs is read from the memory card and displayed on the display screen.

11. A display method comprising:
-
a multiple display step of obtaining a plurality of images and displaying the plurality of images on a display screen while the plurality of images are visually overlapped; an area analysis step of analyzing a feature area having a visual feature for each of the plurality of images, the visual feature being used to distinguish an image from other images in the plurality of images; a point specifying acceptance step of accepting specifying manipulation for specifying a point on the display screen when the plurality of images are displayed on the display screen while visually overlapped; and an image display step of displaying an image on the display screen, the image corresponding to a feature area to which the point specified by the specifying manipulation belongs in the feature areas analyzed by the area analysis step.
