Abstract

A control unit activates a touch sensor according to a predetermined state, for example, an open or closed state of a casing or a side key depressed state and changes, after the elapse of time for performing calibration (about 500 ms), the touch sensor to a state in which contact operation by the touch sensor can be performed. On the other hand, the control unit causes a sub-display unit to display a predetermined rendered image, for example, a character string “touch sensor is operable.” after the elapse of the time for performing calibration.

Claims

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a display;

a touch sensor that detects touch operation; and

a control unit that performs control of the display and the touch sensor, characterized in that

the control unit controls the display to display a predetermined rendered image after the touch sensor changes to a usable state.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that, when the display apparatus changes to a predetermined state, the display and the touch sensor are activated, and the display changes to a displayable state before the touch sensor changes to the usable state.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 2, characterized in that the control unit performs control for not displaying the predetermined rendered image or for displaying a rendered image indicating a standby state from time when the display apparatus changes to the displayable state until the touch sensor changes to the usable state.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that the display displays a rendered image related to content of operation of the touch sensor.

5. A display apparatus comprising:

a touch sensor that detects touch operation and requires first predetermined time from start of activation until the touch sensor changes to a usable state;

a display that requires second predetermined time shorter than the first predetermined time from the start of activation until the display changes to a displayable state; and

a control unit that controls an operation of the touch sensor and an operation of the display, characterized in that

the control unit performs control for starting, after starting the activation of the touch sensor, the activation of the display and causing the display to display a predetermined rendered image before elapse of the first predetermined time.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 5, characterized in that the control unit performs control for causing the display to display, after the elapse of the first predetermined time, a rendering position changing object that can change a rendering position on the display according to a detection result of the touch operation of the touch sensor.

7. The display apparatus according to claim 5, characterized in that the control unit performs control for causing the display to display a rendered image related to content of operation of the touch sensor.

8. A display apparatus comprising:

a touch sensor that detects touch operation;

a display unit that performs display related to content of operation by the touch sensor; and

a control unit that performs control of the display unit and the touch sensor, characterized in that

the control unit controls the display unit to perform display after the touch sensor changes to a usable state.
