Display device and control method of display device

A control method of a display device, comprising:

• generating a display image including a first area where a first image is disposed and a second area where a second image is disposed;
• and
• displaying the display image on a display surface, wherein
• the display image includes a specific area,
• the specific area is split into the first area and the second area,
• in the generating of the display image, the position of a boundary between the first area and the second area is determined based on the shape of the first image and the shape of the second image,
• the size of the first image is maximized, while maintaining the aspect ratio thereof, to fit in the first area,
• the size of the second image is maximized, while maintaining the aspect ratio thereof, to fit in the second area, and
• determine the position of the boundary such that a size of a fifth area in a boundary moved state after the position of the boundary is moved is smaller than the size of the fifth area when the boundary is located at a reference position where the boundary makes the size of the first area equal to the size of the second area, the size of the fifth area being obtained by combining a third area where the first image is not present in the first area with a fourth area where the second image is not present in the second area.

A display device comprising:

• a processor programmed to generate a display image;
• and
• a display unit that displays the display image on a display surface, wherein
• the display image includes a first image in a first area, a second image in a second area, and a boundary between the first area and the second area, and
• when the first image is in contact with the boundary and the second image is not in contact with the boundary, the generating unit moves the boundary closer to the second image and enlarges the size of the first image, while maintaining the aspect ratio thereof, to fit in the first area, and
• the processor is programmed to:
• maximize the size of the first image, while maintaining the aspect ratio thereof, to fit in the first area,
• maximize the size of the second image, while maintaining the aspect ratio thereof, to fit in the second area, and
• determine the position of the boundary such that a size of a fifth area in a boundary moved state after the position of the boundary is moved is smaller than the size of the fifth area when the boundary is located at a reference position where the boundary makes the size of the first area equal to the size of the second area, the size of the fifth area being obtained by combining a third area where the first image is not present in the first area with a fourth area where the second image is not present in the second area.
