1. 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 one or more first speakers provided on the first short side and one or more second speakers provided on the second short side 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 one or more first speakers and the one or more second speakers when the pivot state is switched,
wherein the processor is further configured to switch the sound signals, such that the sound signals output when the head is in the landscape mode and the sound signals output when the head is in the portrait mode are different, and
wherein the processor is further configured to control the one or more first speakers to output an upper sound signal when the head is rotated by 90 degrees clockwise to switch the pivot state from indicating that the head is in the landscape mode to indicating that the head is in the portrait mode, and control the one or more second speakers to output an upper sound signal when the head is rotated by 90 degrees counterclockwise to switch the pivot state from indicating that the head is in the landscape mode to indicating that the head is in the portrait mode.
