Claims (16)

1. An electronic apparatus, comprising:

a rigid exterior body constituting a rear surface of the electronic apparatus;

a display which constitutes a front surface of the electronic apparatus and a side surface of the electronic apparatus, wherein the display comprises a main display area corresponding to the front surface and a curved edge display area corresponding to the side surface extended integrally from the main display area to bend away from one side of the main display area towards the rear surface, the curved edge display area being smaller than the main display area; and

a controller which, while information is not provided on the main display area and information is only provided on the curved edge display area, in response to receiving a first touch input on the curved edge display area, controls the electronic apparatus to provide information on the main display area,

wherein the controller controls the electronic apparatus to change the information provided on the curved edge display area, in response to receiving a second touch input on the curved edge display area in a predefined direction.

2. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the information provided on the main display area comprises information related to the information provided on the curved edge display area.

3. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the information provided on the main display area further comprises at least part of the information provided on the curved edge display area.

4. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the controller, in response to receiving a third touch input on the curved edge display area after the information provided on the curved edge display area is changed, controls the electronic apparatus to provide information on the main display area.

5. A method of controlling an electronic apparatus comprising an exterior body constituting a rear surface of the electronic apparatus and a display which constitutes a front surface of the electronic apparatus and a side surface of the electronic apparatus, wherein the display comprises a main display area corresponding to the front surface and a curved edge display area corresponding to the side surface extended integrally from the main display area to bend away from one side of the main display area towards the rear surface, the curved edge display area being smaller than the main display area, the method comprising:

receiving, while information is not provided on the main display area and information is only provided on the curved edge display area, a first touch input on the curved edge display area; and

providing information on the main display area,

wherein the method further comprising:

changing the information provided on the curved edge display area, in response to receiving a second touch input on the curved edge display area in a predefined direction.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the information provided on the main display area comprises information related to the information provided on the curved edge display area.

7. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the information provided on the main display area further comprises at least part of the information provided on the curved edge display area.

8. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the providing, in response to receiving a third touch input on the curved edge display area after the information provided on the curved edge display area is changed, on the main display area, information related to the changed information provided on the curved edge display area.
