Abstract

An electronic apparatus having a second screen and a control method thereof are provided. A first screen of the electronic apparatus displays main content; the second screen displays, for instance, a logo, a notification message, or other information. To observe display content on the second screen in a positive direction, in response to a body of the electronic apparatus flipping or rotating, a display image on the second screen is rotated correspondingly. Besides, to obtain simple information, e.g., weather, temperature, current time, etc., or activate a specific function, in response to a default trigger operation, the second screen can display corresponding simple information or content of the function. When the first screen is in a full-screen mode, if the notification message is received, the second screen displays content corresponding to the notification message, so that the first screen can continue displaying the content in the full-screen mode without being affected.
