A mobile terminal having a terminal main body including a front case forming an internal area including a submergence area into which water is introduced and a waterproof area into which water is blocked from being introduced, and an internal frame; a first unit including a key module mounted in the terminal main body, and generating a control command when a pressing occurs, the key module being positioned in the submergence area and moving due to an external force; a second unit positioned in the waterproof area, and when the pressing occurs, generates a signal; an elastic deformation layer of which a portion is elastically deformed due to movement of the first unit, so the second unit is pressed by the first unit; and a waterproof layer attaching the elastic deformation layer and the front case so partitioning results in the submergence area and the waterproof area.

Mobile terminal

A mobile terminal is provided. The mobile terminal includes a body, a case and a label plate. The body has a socket into which an external device may be inserted. The case may be formed to cover the body. The label plate may have a label formed on one surface of the label plate and containing information that identifies a product. The label plate may be configured to slide in and out of a space located between the socket and the case. The label on the label plate may be exposed when the label plate slides out of the space. Alternatively, the label may be covered when the label plate slides in the space. The label may be a product identification label ('PID label'). The PID label may be a unique label that can confirm that the mobile terminal was manufactured by a particular company.
