Abstract
Provided are a display device, and a display method which improve operability of a proximity operation and a contact operation by using an interface display such as a magnification adjustment-use interface. Provided is a display unit that includes a control unit, a storage unit, a display unit, a display processing unit, a sensor unit, a coordinate acquisition unit, a reference position determining unit, and a defined region determining unit. A user approximates an instruction medium to the display unit and closely holds the instruction medium, for example, in a portion to be enlarged on a map displayed on the display unit. The display processing unit which received detection signals by the sensor unit displays an interface in which enlargement is performed on the map in a proximity of an instruction medium based on the obtained position coordinates.
