5. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display controller is configured to control the activation and the deactivation of the first display area and the second display area based on a sensing signal received from a sensor module.

6. The electronic apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the sensor module comprises at least one of an illumination sensor, a sound sensor, and a gyro sensor.

7. The electronic apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the display controller is configured to activate the first display area and deactivate the second display area when an intensity of a first illumination sensed in the first display area is greater than an intensity of a second illumination sensed in the second display area.

8. The electronic apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the display controller is configured to activate the first display area and deactivate the second display area when a first sound sensed on the first display area is greater than a second sound sensed on the second display area.

9. The electronic apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the display controller is configured to activate the first display area and deactivate the second display area when the second display area is toward a ground.

10. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display part comprises a first display apparatus and a second display apparatus,

wherein the first display apparatus comprises a first display panel including the first display area, and a first panel driver configured to drive the first display panel,

wherein the second display apparatus comprises a second display panel including the second display area, and a second panel driver configured to drive the second display panel, and

wherein the display controller is configured to control a power supply to the first display apparatus and the second display apparatus based on the first touch input and the second touch input.

11. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display part further comprises a third display area connecting a side of the first display area and a side of the second display area,

wherein the touch screen is configured to sense a third touch input from the third display area, and

wherein the activation and the deactivation of the first display area and the second display area are controlled based on the third touch input.

12. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display controller is configured to deactivate the first display area when the first touch area of the first touch input is larger than one third of the entire area of the first display area.

13. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a display part including a first display area and a second display area opposite to the first display area;

a touch screen configured to sense a first touch input from the first display area and a second touch input from the second display area; and

a display controller configured to control activation and deactivation of the first display area and the second display area based on the first touch input and the second touch input,

wherein the display controller is configured to set the first display area as a main display area displaying a main image and set the second display area as a sub display area displaying a sub image when a first touch area of the first touch input is less than a second touch area of the second touch input or when a first number of touches of the first touch input is less than a second number of touches of the second touch input.

14. A method of driving an electronic apparatus comprising a display apparatus including a first display area and a second display area opposite to the first display area, the method comprising:

receiving at least one of a first touch input from the first display area and a second touch input from the second display area;

determining a driving mode based on the first touch input and the second touch input; and

controlling activation so as to display an image and deactivation so as not to display an image of the first display area and the second display area according to the driving mode,

wherein the determining the driving mode comprises:

determining a first touch area of the first touch input;

determining a second touch area of the second touch input; and

determining one of a first driving mode, a second driving mode, and a third driving mode as the driving mode based on the first touch area and the second touch area, the first driving mode activating the first display area and deactivating the second display area, the second driving mode activating the first display area and activating the second display area, and the third driving mode deactivating the first display area and activating the second display area, wherein the first display area is deactivated when the first touch area of the first touch input is larger than a first threshold area relative to an entire area of the first display area.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the determining the driving mode comprises:

determining a first number of touches of the first touch input;

determining a second number of touches of the second touch input; and

determining one of the first driving mode, the second driving mode, and the third driving mode as the driving mode based on the first number of touches and the second number of touches, the first driving mode activating the first display area and deactivating the second display area, the second driving mode activating the first display area and activating the second display area, and the third driving mode deactivating the first display area and activating the second display area.

16. The method of claim 14 , further comprising controlling the activation and the deactivation of the first display area and the second display area based on a sensing signal received from a sensor module.

17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the first display area is deactivated when the first touch area of the first touch input is larger than one third of the entire area of the first display area.
