Image display device for rotating an image displayed on a display screen

An image display device, comprising:

• a display unit having a display screen in a rectangular shape which displays an image;
• a frame arranged along a periphery of said display screen;
• a plurality of detectors mounted on said frame, each of which generates a detection signal in response to a distance to an object positioned outside of said frame;
• and
• a controller which controls said image displayed on said display screen based on detection signals generated from respective detectors from among said plurality of detectors,
• wherein said plurality of detectors comprises three detectors mounted at a location on said frame close to each of three sides among four sides of said display screen, and
• wherein said controller monitors said detection signals generated from respective detectors from among said plurality of detectors, detects a side, to which any one of said three detectors does not correspond, from among said four sides as a side to which a user is close when all of said detection signals indicate distances equal to or longer than a predetermined distance, under a situation in which said side, to which the user is close, is detected from among said four sides based on a detection signal that indicates a shortest distance among said detection signals, and controls a direction of said image such that a bottom of said image is moved to the detected side.
