Abstract
A display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus includes a sensor configured to sense ambient light, a display configured to provide a screen including a first area which displays content and a second area outside the first area and a processor configured to change a size of the second area based on the sensed ambient light.
Claims20
A display apparatus, comprising:
- at least one sensor;
- a display;
- and
- a processor configured to control the display apparatus,
- wherein the processor is configured to control the display to:
- identify whether to operate in a first mode or a second mode based on a user being detected via the sensor;
- display a content on an entire area of the display when the first mode is identified;
- and
- provide a shadow effect to a partial area of a second area located on a perimeter of a first area while the content is displayed on the first area of the display when the second mode is identified, the shadow effect being identified based on at least one of an intensity or a direction of light sensed via the sensor.
A method for controlling a display apparatus, the method comprising:
- detecting a user;
- identifying whether to operate the display apparatus in a first mode or a second mode based on the user being detected;
- displaying, based on the first mode being identified, a content on an entire area of the display apparatus;
- sensing a peripheral light of the display apparatus;
- and
- displaying, based on the second mode being identified, the content on a first area of the display apparatus and a shadow effect on a partial area of a second area on a periphery of the first area based on at least one of an intensity or a direction of the peripheral light.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium comprising a program to execute a method for controlling a display apparatus, wherein the method comprises:
- obtaining a first sensing value indicating a user from a first sensor;
- identifying whether to operate the display apparatus in a first mode or a second mode based on the first sensing value;
- displaying, based on the first mode being identified, a content on an entire area of the display apparatus;
- obtaining a second sensing value of a peripheral light of the display apparatus from a second sensor;
- displaying, based on the second mode being identified, the content on a first area of the display apparatus and a shadow effect on a partial area of a second area on a periphery of the first area based on at least one of an intensity or a direction of the peripheral light.
