Abstract

A thumbnail display apparatus includes a display that displays, one by one, thumbnail images corresponding to plural pages included in a document, the thumbnail images being generated by reducing images of the corresponding pages included in the document to a predetermined size, a detecting unit that detects a sliding operation of an object, the sliding operation being performed when the thumbnail image displayed by the display being touched by the object, and a controller that performs, in response to detection of the sliding operation by the detecting unit, page switching so as to sequentially switch the page of the document whose thumbnail image is being displayed by the display to other pages.

12 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according claim 11 ,

wherein the part of the entire image of the second page is displayed overlapping on an image of a third page.

13 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according claim 11 ,

wherein the second page and third page are pages preceding the first page in the document.

14 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according claim 11 , further comprising continuing to display the entire image of the first page and the part of the entire image of the second page during being detected sliding operation.

15 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according claim 11 ,
