Abstract:
1. A mobile information apparatus comprising: multiple displays whose display surfaces are arranged side by side; a measurement section that measures orientation information about apparatus orientation; and a control section that determines the display surface that the user is viewing from among said multiple displays, based on the orientation information measured by said measurement section, and causes the display surface of displays, other than the display surface determined as being viewed by the user, to become darker than the display surface on the display that is determined as being viewed by the user, wherein the display surfaces of said multiple displays mutually form a relative angle smaller than 180 degrees; said control section determines a display surface within a predetermined angle range from a predetermined reference plane as a display surface that the user is viewing; said measurement section detects the inclination of the display surface of any one display; and said control section calculates the inclinations of the display surfaces of the other displays on the basis of the inclination of the display surface of the display detected by said measurement section and the relative angle.
