Abstract:
1. A display apparatus for use in a wireless terminal having a folder that is rotatable with respect to a base, comprising: a direction sensing unit for sensing a direction according to a position in which the folder of the wireless terminal is placed relative to the base, and generating one of first to fourth direction sensing signals according to the direction sensed; a control unit for outputting display data in a standard direction when the first direction sensing signal is generated, outputting the display data rotated by 90° and compressed when the second direction sensing signal is generated, outputting the display data rotated by 180° when the third direction sensing signal is generated, and outputting the display data rotated by 270° and compressed when the fourth direction sensing signal is generated; a memory unit comprising: a display unit for displaying one of the display data in the standard direction, the display data rotated by 90° and compressed, the display data rotated by 180° and the display data rotated by 270° and compressed.
