The present specification provides a mobile terminal in which a display unit can expand, and a control method therefor. In the mobile terminal of the present invention, when an input signal detected by a sensing unit is equal to or larger than a threshold value, an operation that expands or contracts the display unit according to a touch drag direction is performed, thus allowing a user to intuitively control the mobile terminal. Further, there is an advantage in that the mobile terminal can be prevented from being dislodged from the user's hand while the display unit is in the process of expanding.

Mobile terminal and method for controlling the same

The objective of the present invention is to provide a mobile terminal in which a layout of execution screens of two or more applications displayed together can be automatically changed to be suited for a user's viewing. According to an aspect of the present invention, provided is a mobile terminal comprising: a body; a display coupled to the body such that a display area viewed from the front of the body can be changed according to the switching between an extension display mode and a contraction display mode; and a control unit for controlling such that a layout for two or more application execution screens displayed together on the display is changed in response to the switching from the extension display mode to the contraction display mode.

Mobile terminal

A mobile terminal comprises: a body; a first display which is located on one surface of the body, detects a touch input, and outputs a screen; a second display which is located on the other surface of the body, detects a touch input, and outputs a screen; a gyro sensor for detecting movement of the body; and a control unit for controlling the first display and the second display on the basis of the touch input, wherein the control unit outputs a first screen on the first display, when detecting a first touch input on the first display, removes the first screen from the first display, and, when the gyro sensor detects that the locations of the one surface and the other surface of the body are reversed, outputs the first screen on the second display, wherein the mobile terminal may easily implement multitasking by using displays located on both surfaces thereof.

Mobile terminal including flexible display unit having first and second display

The present disclosure provides a mobile terminal capable of expanding a display unit, and a control method therefor. When an event occurs, the mobile terminal of the present disclosure provides a user with convenience by enabling the user to select whether to expand the display unit upon execution of the event. Specifically, the event can be the execution of a specific application or the reception of a notification related to a call or a message.

Mobile terminal and control method therefor

The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a mobile terminal allowing a user to conveniently determine execution screens of at least two applications to be displayed in a multitasking manner and layouts therefor; and a method for controlling same. Provided according to an aspect of the present invention is a mobile terminal comprising: a body; a display coupled to the body such that a display region viewed from the front of the body can vary depending on switching between an extended display mode and a retracted display mode; and a control unit for performing control such that, in response to switching from the retracted display mode to the extended display mode, multiple layout indicators for multiple application execution screens are displayed or multiple application icons are displayed.

Mobile terminal having a display that enlargers a front display region in response to being switched to an extended display mode

The present specification provides a mobile terminal, which can simultaneously enable unlocking and display expansion, and a control method therefor. A mobile terminal of the present invention comprises a flexible display unit which can expand in size. If a knock code via a user's touch input on the display unit matches a preconfigured pattern, a display positioned on the front side can expand in size as the mobile terminal unlocks.

Disclosed is a mobile terminal comprising a display including a first area and a second area, wherein the first area is located at a first side of the mobile terminal and the second area is located at a second side facing the first side, a camera disposed on the second side, and a controller, wherein the controller is configured to display an image acquired through the camera in the first area and the second area.

Mobile terminal for displaying image and control method thereof

Disclosed are a mobile terminal and a control method therefor. The mobile terminal according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a camera provided to a main body; a display unit for displaying a preview image for the photographing of the camera; and a control unit for detecting the entering into of a subject recognition mode while the preview image is being displayed, and in the subject recognition mode, analyzing objects included in the preview image so as to recognize a subject to be photographed, and applying, to the preview image, a camera effect matched with the recognized subject. In addition, while the matched camera effect is being applied to the preview image, the control unit may further provide, on the display unit, on the basis of a touch input applied to the preview image, a list of camera effects additionally applicable to the recognized subject.

Display screen with transitional graphical user interface

Provided is a mobile terminal including a display located at a first side and a second side of the mobile terminal such that a size by which the display is located at the first side is changeable, the second side facing the first side, and a controller. The controller may display first content of a first application in a first area of the display located at the first side and display second content of a second application in a second area of the display located at the first side, arrange at least a portion of the first area of the display on another side, and display the first content of the first application in at least a portion of the second area when a first input related to the first application is received.

Mobile terminal for displaying content on flexible display and control method thereof

A mobile terminal can include a body having a variable size; a flexible display including a first display located on a front face of the body and a second display located on a rear face of the body; a driving unit configured to change both the variable size of the body and a size of the first display; a sensing unit configured to sense an input signal; and a controller configured to in response to the input signal having a value equal to or greater than a threshold value, control the driving unit to change both the variable size of the body and the size of the first display, in which a total area of the first display and the second display remains constant, and a size of the second display is correspondingly reduced as the size of the first display increases.

A mobile terminal includes: a display unit; a camera configured to acquire an image of a peripheral device; a short-range communication module configured to perform wireless communication with the peripheral device; and a controller configured to control the display unit, the camera, and the short-range communication module. The controller identifies the peripheral device based on at least one of a marker included in the acquired image of the peripheral device and a shape of the peripheral device, performs pairing with the identified peripheral device, and displays the image of the paired peripheral device and information on the paired peripheral device on the display unit.

Disclosed are a terminal and controlling method thereof. The present invention includes enabling an AoC (always on camera) mode for maintaining a state for a camera to capture an image, obtaining a shot input of capturing the image in the enabled AoC mode, and controlling the camera to capture the image instantly.

Terminal and controlling method thereof

Disclosed are a terminal and controlling method thereof. The present invention includes displaying a preview image captured through a camera, obtaining an input for selecting an object from the displayed preview image, determining a smart zoom magnification for the selected object to be displayed in an optimal size, zoom-processing the preview image at the determined smart zoom magnification centering on the selected object, and displaying the zoom-processed preview image.
