Abstract

There are provided a display device which can accurately estimate an ambient temperature around the display device, a computer program, a recording medium, and a method for estimating an ambient temperature. A panel temperature sensor and a switch board temperature sensor are disposed in different positions of a display device. A control unit specifies correlation information indicating the correlation between a first temperature difference between a temperature detected by the panel temperature sensor and an ambient temperature and a second temperature difference between a temperature detected by the switch board temperature sensor and the ambient temperature. The control unit estimates the ambient temperature on the basis of the specified correlation information and the temperatures and detected by the panel temperature sensor and the switch board temperature sensor.
