An image display device (1) of the present invention is an image display
device having a function of rotating a display image, the image display
device including: a size comparison section (17) for making a comparison
(i) between a vertical length of an outer edge of a display region in
which the display image is displayed and a vertical length of the display
image and (ii) between a horizontal length of the outer edge of the
display region in which the display image is displayed and a horizontal
length of the display image; and a center-point-of-rotation determination
section (18) for determining a center point of rotation of the display
image in accordance with a result of the comparison made by the size
comparison section (17). This makes it possible to provide a display
device (i) which minimizes, regardless of how a display frame and a
display image are related in position and size to each other, a portion
of the display image which portion is to be hidden when the display image
has been rotated and (ii) which can be easily employed in a rotation
process.
