Abstract
An exemplary display control method is provided. The method determines whether the handheld device is being held by a right hand or a left hand according to an inclined angle of a top of a handheld device relative to the Y axis detected by a detection unit. The method then controls a display unit to display information in a first display mode when the handheld device is being held by a right hand, and controls the display unit to display information in a second display mode when the handheld device is being held by a left hand.
