DISPLAY DEVICE AND IMAGING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A display device comprising:
- first and second display units each operable to display an image;
a state detecting unit operable to detect a first state and a second state;
a manipulation unit operable to be manipulated; and
a control unit operable to control the first and second display units, whereinthe control unit causes the first display unit to display the image when the state detecting unit detects the first state, and causes the second display unit to display the image when the state detecting unit detects the second state,the control unit switches a display unit to be activated from the first or second display unit which is displaying the image to the first or second display unit which is not displaying the image when the manipulation unit is manipulated, andthe control unit causes the first or second display unit activated when the manipulation unit is manipulated to continuously display the image until the manipulation unit is manipulated again or until a change in state is detected twice by the state detecting unit.

Abstract
A display device includes first and second display units each operable to display an image; a state detecting unit operable to detect a first state and a second state; a manipulation unit operable to be manipulated; and a control unit operable to control the first and second display units, wherein the control unit causes the first display unit to display the image when the state detecting unit detects the first state, and causes the second display unit to display the image when the state detecting unit detects the second state, the control unit switches a display unit to be activated from the first or second display unit which is displaying the image to the first or second display unit which is not displaying the image when the manipulation unit is manipulated, and the control unit causes the first or second display unit activated when the manipulation unit is manipulated to continuously display the image until the manipulation unit is manipulated again or until a change in state is detected twice by the state detecting unit.

6. An imaging apparatus comprising:
-
an imaging device operable to output an image signal of a subject; first and second display units each operable to display an image based on the image signal supplied from the imaging device; a state detecting unit operable to detect a first state and a second state; a manipulation unit operable to be manipulated; and a control unit operable to control the first and second display units, wherein the control unit causes the first display unit to display the image based on the image signal when the state detecting unit detects the first state, and causes the second display unit to display the image based on the image signal when the state detecting unit detects the second state, the control unit switches a display unit to be activated from the first or second display unit which is displaying the image based on the image signal to the first or second display unit which is not displaying the image based on the image signal when the manipulation unit is manipulated, and the control unit causes the first or second display unit activated when the manipulation unit is manipulated to continuously display the image based on the image signal until the manipulation unit is manipulated again or until a change in state is detected twice by the state detecting unit. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. An imaging apparatus comprising:
-
a state detecting unit operable to detect a plurality of states; a manipulation unit operable to be manipulated; an automatic mode in which an operation of the imaging apparatus is switched according to the state detected by the state detecting unit; and a forced mode in which the operation of the imaging apparatus is switched to an operation corresponding to the manipulation when the manipulation unit is manipulated in the automatic mode, wherein the forced mode returns to the automatic mode when the state detecting unit detects a change in state.
