Abstract
Abstract A data displaying apparatus that can efficiently display a plurality of data on a relatively small display screen. The data displaying apparatus includes a user input unit for outputting a data display request signal if there is a data display request from a user, a memory unit for storing a plurality of data and a plurality of identification information corresponding respectively thereto, a display unit, and a controller. The controller controls the display unit to display the plurality of data. Also, the controller controls the display unit to display the plurality of identification information if the data display request signal is inputted, display data corresponding to specific identification information via a first layer if the specific identification information is selected from among the plurality of identification information, and enlargedly display a specific area of the specific information via a second layer if the specific area is selected from the specific identification information via the first layer.
