In addition to making it easier to see, it is possible to make the operation screen DF2 on which the private information is displayed less visible to those who are farther away from the operation screen DF2 than the operator P.
- the inclination angle of the protrusion with respect to the main screen is not constant, and the angle may be changed according to the importance of private information.
- the screen image creation unit 102 creates a screen image by setting the angle as 90 degrees for personal information of the type that is used at the time of login, and setting the angle as 90 degrees for address information. Also good.
- the angle is 90 degrees because the importance is the highest, the operator P has difficulty in seeing the upper surfaces of the protrusions DF22a to DF22e unless the operator P further approaches the operation screen DF2.
- the private information displayed on the upper surfaces of the protrusions DF22a to DF22e can be made less visible.
- the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made.
- the visible image forming apparatus is applied to the image forming apparatus 1 in the above embodiment, the visible image forming apparatus can be widely applied to electronic devices other than the image forming apparatus 1. .
