First Claim
1. A cellular phone comprising a display device with a changeable viewing angle, the cellular phone comprising:
- a specifying function section configured to accept specifications of one or more functions executable by the cellular phone;
a viewing angle change control section configured to change the viewing angle of the display device according to a specified function;
a storage section configured to store viewing angle information being associated with the functions which the cellular phone has; and
an update section configured to update the viewing angle information in the storage section,wherein the viewing angle change control section is further configured to change the viewing angle according to the updated viewing angle information, andwherein at least one of the one or more functions comprises a main function and a sub-function and the storage section stores the viewing angle information associated with the main function and the sub-function, andwherein when the sub-function is executed, the viewing angle change control section is configured to determine if the viewing angle information of the sub-function is set in the storage section, and if only the viewing angle information of the main function is set, display all images in the executed sub-function with the same viewing angle set for the main function, and if the viewing angle information of the sub-function is set, display an image for the sub-function with the viewing angle which is set for the sub-function.

Abstract
The present invention provides a cellular phone which includes a function for changing the viewing angle of the display section according to the specified executing function, when the cellular phone receives a user'"'"'s operation to specify the executable function through the operating section 115. The storage section 120 stores the viewing angle information table which associates the cellular phone'"'"'s function with viewing angle information. The designation to specify the executing function is received from the user through the operating section 115. The viewing angle change control section 10 reads out the viewing angle information corresponding to the specified function from the table, and executes the process of changing viewing angle according to the present viewing angle information in the viewing angle information storage section 1.
