A display apparatus comprising:
- a display;
- a sensor;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- based on folding of at least part of the display being sensed by the sensor, identify a plurality of areas in the display based on the folding of the display, and
- individually adjust a transparency and a rendering state of each of the plurality of areas based on a size of the each of the plurality of areas.
