A display device includes a display section, a display control section, a touch panel, a gesture acceptance section and a processing section. The display control section allows a screen of the display section to display an icon within which a plurality of regions are provided. The gesture acceptance section determines, upon acceptance of a user's gesture on an icon, on which of the regions within the icon the user's gesture has been performed. When the gesture acceptance section accepts the user's gesture on the icon, the processing section executes processing that is related to a function associated with the icon and corresponds to the region on which the gesture has been performed.
