Claim:
1. A display device comprising: a first body and a second body, wherein a folding portion is provided between the first body and the second body; an angle sensing unit configured to sense a folding angle between the first body and the second body; an input sensing unit configured to detect an input signal; a display unit configured to display visual information; a communication unit configured to receive occurrence of an event from an external network; and a processor configured to: if a notification mode that provides a notification about the occurred event which is received from the external network is a vibration mode, obtain a folding condition, wherein the folding condition includes a first condition in which the folding angle between the first body and the second body is within a predetermined angle range and a second condition in which the folding angle is outside of the predetermined angle range, wherein the first condition and the second condition correspond to a state when the display device is in a standing position in which lower surfaces of the first body and the second body are positioned on a plane, if the folding condition is the first condition, maintain the vibration mode and provide the notification about the occurred event via vibration, and if the folding condition is the second condition, switch from the vibration mode to a safety mode and provide the notification about the occurred event in the safety mode, wherein the safety mode represents the notification mode different from the vibration mode, wherein the predetermined angle range is 45 degrees to 120 degrees and 240 degrees to 315 degrees.
