Abstract
A display device includes: a display; a touch panel disposed on the display; a memory that stores screen configuration information essentially including information of a base area of a fixed size and an extra area of an unfixed size; a retrieving portion that retrieves the screen configuration information therefrom; a display processor that allocates the base area in an image displayable area of the display on the basis of a reference point of the screen of the display and displays a first screen in the allocated base area, and that further allocates the extra area in an area other than the base area and displays a second screen in the allocated extra area when the image displayable area of the display is larger than the base area; and a judgment portion that judges whether or not a user stretches the extra area toward the base area on the touch panel.
