A display device, comprising: a display configured to include a first touch display area which is arranged to display content toward a first direction at which a user is positioned and a second touch display area which is arranged to display content toward a second direction corresponding to an opposite direction of the first direction; a sensor unit configured to detect a gripped state of the user and a rotating state of the display device; and when it is determined that the second touch display area is facing the first direction at which the user is positioned based on the gripped state and the rotating state, a controller configured to change a display mode while an identical content is displayed in the second touch display area, wherein the controller is further configured to determine whether the gripped state of the user is changed by comparing the gripped state of the user which is detected before a rotation of the display device with the gripped state of the user which is detected after the rotation of the display device, and wherein if the second touch display area is arranged toward the first direction in a manner that the display device rotates more than a predetermined angle in a predetermined first rotating direction and if it is determined as the gripped state of the user is maintained as a result of comparing the gripped state of the user detected after the rotation with the gripped state of the user detected immediately before the rotation, the controller is further configured to control the second touch display area to display the content in a full screen mode.
