Claim 12:
13. A display device comprising:
a head including a display formed on a front surface of the head, the display having a circumference having a first long side, a second long side opposite the first long side, a first short side and a second short side opposite the first short side, and the head further including a plurality of panel speakers attached to a panel of the display, wherein the head is configured to be pivotable between a landscape mode in which the first long side and the second long side are in a horizontal state and a portrait mode in which the first long side and the second long side are in a vertical state;
a sensor configured to detect a pivot of the head; and
a processor configured to determine a pivot state indicating whether the head is in the landscape mode or the portrait mode based on a result of detection by the sensor, and switch sound signals output by the plurality of panel speakers when the pivot state is switched,
wherein the sensor is further configured to detect a pivot direction and a pivot angle of the head, and
wherein the processor is further configured to determine spatial locations of the plurality of panel speakers based on the pivot direction and the pivot angle and control the plurality of panel speakers such that the panel speakers output sound signals set according to spatial arrangement of the panel speakers.
