Display device for visualizing contents as the display is rotated and control method thereof

Abstract

A display device and a controlling method thereof are provided. The display device includes: displaying a plurality of objects on a rotatable display of the display device; based on an event occurring, rotating the rotatable display in a first direction; and based on the rotatable display being rotated in the first direction, rotating and displaying constituent elements included in the plurality of objects in a second direction, which is opposite to the first direction, while maintaining an arrangement of the plurality of objects.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of controlling a display device including a rotatable display and a rotation controller, the method comprising:
 displaying an image;   based on an event occurring, controlling the rotation controller to rotate the rotatable display in a first direction at a speed; and   based on the rotatable display being rotated in the first direction, rotating and displaying the image in a second direction at the speed, which is opposite to the first direction,   wherein the rotating and displaying comprises, while the rotatable display is rotated in the first direction, adjusting a size of the image.   
     
     
         2 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the adjusting the size of the image comprises, while the rotatable display is rotated in the first direction, reducing or enlarging the image while keeping leveling off the image. 
     
     
         3 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the controlling the rotation controller to rotate the rotatable display comprises rotating the rotatable display from a vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation, in the first direction, and
 wherein the adjusting the size of the image comprises, based on rotation of the rotatable display in the first direction being completed, adjusting the size of the image based on the horizontal orientation of the rotatable display.   
     
     
         4 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the image comprises a plurality of objects and a plurality of first elements positioned in each of the plurality of objects on the display device, and
 wherein the rotating and displaying the image comprises, while the rotatable display is rotated in the first direction, rotating the plurality of first elements positioned in each of the plurality of objects at a rotation speed of the rotatable display in the second direction, independently from the plurality of objects.   
     
     
         5 . The method as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the adjusting the size of the image comprises, while the rotatable display is rotated in the first direction, reducing or enlarging each of the plurality of first elements while keeping leveling off each of the plurality of first elements. 
     
     
         6 . The method as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the rotating and displaying comprises, while the rotatable display is rotated in the first direction, adjusting a size of each of the plurality of first elements based on a size of an object corresponding to each of the plurality of first elements. 
     
     
         7 . A display device comprising:
 a rotatable display;   a rotation controller; and   a processor configured to:   control the rotatable display to display an image,   based on an event occurring, control the rotation controller to rotate the rotatable display in a first direction, and   based on the rotatable display being rotated in the first direction, control the rotatable display to rotate and display the image in a second direction at a speed, which is opposite to the first direction, and adjust a size of the image, while the rotatable display is rotated in the first direction.   
     
     
         8 . The display device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to, while the rotatable display is rotated in the first direction, reduce or enlarge the image while keeping leveling off the image. 
     
     
         9 . The display device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to, rotate the rotatable display from a vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation, in the first direction, and, based on rotation of the rotatable display in the first direction being completed, adjust the size of the image based on the horizontal orientation of the rotatable display. 
     
     
         10 . The display device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the image comprises a plurality of objects and a plurality of first elements positioned in each of the plurality of objects on the rotatable display,
 wherein the processor is configured to, while the rotatable display is rotated in the first direction, rotate the plurality of first elements positioned in each of the plurality of objects at a rotation speed of the rotatable display in the second direction, independently from the plurality of objects, and   wherein the second direction is opposite to the first direction.   
     
     
         11 . The display device as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to, while the rotatable display is rotated in the first direction, reduce or enlarge each of the plurality of first elements while keeping leveling off each of the plurality of first elements. 
     
     
         12 . The display device as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to, while the rotatable display is rotated in the first direction, adjust a size of each of the plurality of first elements based on a size of an object corresponding to each of the plurality of first elements.
