DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM

A display control device includes an operation-display unit and a controller. The operation-display unit hierarchically displays multiple functions using multiple screens and accepts an operation performed through an approach or touch of an object. The controller performs control so that, when the object approaches a function displayed on an original screen, a next screen associated with the function selected as a result of the approach of the object is temporarily displayed using a display mode corresponding to a relationship between the original screen and the next screen.
