A display device includes a display section and a control unit including a processor. The control unit displays, upon deciding that an image to be displayed in the display section is a scrollable image larger than a predetermined display region of the display section, and an entirety of which can be displayed in the display region by scrolling the image in a vertical or horizontal direction in a display screen of the display section, a portion of the scrollable image in the display region, the portion being shifted in the vertical direction or horizontal direction to a predetermined position away from a head position, and then displays, in the display region, the scrollable image scrolled until the head position thereof appears at an end of the display region in a direction of the shifting.
