1. A display panel control device comprising:
two display panels (DP1 and DP2) generated by physically cutting a single display panel into right and left sides;
an image processing unit configured to output images to each of the physically cut display panels (DP1 and DP2);
a sensor unit with a plurality of sensors configured to detect a relative position and a posture of each of the display panels (DP1 and DP2); and
a controller,
wherein the controller is configured to:
check whether cut surfaces of the two display panels (DP1 and DP2) cut from the single display panel into right and left sides are separated and spaced apart from each other through the sensor unit,
detect a tilt of each of the separated display panels (DP1 and DP2) and a distance between upper and lower corners,
calculate the relative position and the posture on the basis of a cut surface of each of the display panels (DP1 and DP2) using information on the tilt and the distance between the upper and lower corners, and
process each image to be displayed in response to the relative position and the posture of each of the display panels (DP1 and DP2);
wherein the controller rotates the image to be displayed on each of the separated display panels (DP1 and DP2) in response to each tilt when the images to be displayed on the display panels (DP1 and DP2) which are separated and spaced apart from each other are continuous images that are continuously displayed.
