    Abstract: A display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus includes: a display unit; a sensor configured to sense a touch input into the display unit; an eye direction sensor configured to sense an eye direction of a user; and a controller configured to divide a screen of the display unit into a plurality of areas, in response to an eye of the user being sensed toward a first area of the plurality of areas and a first touch input being sensed into the first area, perform a first control operation corresponding to the first touch input, and in response to a second touch input being sensed into the other areas except the first area, not perform a second control operation corresponding to the second touch input. Therefore, whether a function will be executed is determined according to an area in which an eye of a user is sensed and an area in which the eye of the user is not sensed. As a result, a malfunction of a display apparatus is prevented.
