Abstract
A multi-display apparatus including a display unit 1 constituted by plural displays 11 detects that a viewer who is watching an image showed on the display unit 1 is present in a near region, and shows an image with the size thereof adjusted based on the detected result on the display unit 1. For example, the multi-display apparatus shows a small image on the display unit 1 by reducing the number of displays 11 used for image display when a viewer is present in the near region, allowing the viewer in the near region to easily see the image. Moreover, the multi-display apparatus shows a large image on the display unit 1 when no viewer is present in the near region, allowing a viewer outside the near region to easily see the image.
