20. A door comprising:
-
a frame configured to be rotatably mountable to a base object; a display panel mounted to the frame; a detector disposed in the frame, and configured to detect a movement of the frame and output a signal corresponding to the movement; and a controller configured to determine a direction of the movement based on the signal, determine whether the door is in an opening state or in a closing state based on the determined direction, and control at least one of a transparency and displayed image of the display panel based on whether the door is in the opening state or in the closing state, wherein the opening state indicates that the frame is moving away from the base object, and the closing state indicates that the frame is moving closer to the base object.
