To improve operability of an operation of inputting an instruction to a display device, in the display device in a tent state, in comparison to a case where a top region that straddles the top of a display surface is not caused to function as an instruction input portion configured to receive an instruction from an operator.SOLUTION: When the state of a display device 10 becomes a tent state, a region defining unit 26 defines, on a touch panel 12, a first side region 12a directed to one side of the display device 10, a second side region 12b directed to the other side of the display device 10, and a top region 12c located on an upper side of the first side region 12a and the second side region 12b and straddling the top of the display surface. An input instruction determining unit 30 determines an operation to the top region 12c as an input instruction from a user. That is, in the tent state, the top region 12c functions as an instruction input portion that receives an instruction from the user.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】テント状態の表示装置において、表示面の頂上に跨る頂上領域を操作者からの指示を受け付ける指示入力部として機能させない場合に比して、当該表示装置に対して指示を入力する操作の操作性を向上させる。【解決手段】領域定義部２６は、表示装置１０の状態がテント状態となると、タッチパネル１２上において、表示装置１０の一側方側を向く第１側方領域１２ａ、表示装置１０の他側方側を向く第２側方領域１２ｂ、及び、第１側方領域１２ａ及び第２側方領域１２ｂの上側に位置し、表示面の頂上に跨る頂上領域１２ｃを定義する。入力指示判定部３０は、頂上領域１２ｃに対する操作をユーザからの入力指示として判定する。つまり、テント状態において、頂上領域１２ｃは、ユーザからの指示を受け付ける指示入力部として機能する。【選択図】図４
