Abstract: A display portion provided in a portable electronic device including a touch panel has, as display modes, a full-screen display mode in which an image is displayed over an entire surface of the display surface, a right-hand display mode in which a scaled-down display of an original image with a similarity shape is provided along a right side and a lower side of the display surface, and a left-hand display mode in which a scaled-down display of an original image with a similarity shape is provided along a left side and a lower side of the display surface. When a prescribed input operation is received by an input portion, a control portion switches a display mode of the display portion from the full-screen display mode to the right-hand display mode or the left-hand display mode.
