Abstract
A display device includes a display panel, a detachable light source, a lighting device, and a display controller. The lighting device includes an attaching and detaching slot in one side surface. The display controller is configured to control driving of the display panel so that an orientation of the image with the display device set in a first position in which the attaching and detaching slot faces toward a first side of a first direction corresponds with an orientation of the image with the display device set in a second position in which the attaching and detaching slot faces toward a second side of the first direction and the display device is inverted from the first position. The first direction is in which attachment and the detachment of the detachable light source is performed. The orientations are with respect to a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
