Abstract
An erroneous operation is prevented in a display device detecting a touch operation for a display face and a part other than the display face. A display device () of the present invention includes: an operation acquiring unit () that acquires detection signals transmitted from detection electrodes arranged on a touch panel (); a use form determining unit () that determines a holding form based on a touch position of the touch operation for an end face of the display device; and an insensitive area setting unit () that sets an insensitive area on the operation detecting member after the holding form is determined. The operation acquiring unit does not acquire detection signals transmitted from the detection electrodes included in the set insensitive area among the detection electrodes.
