A mobile terminal including a window; a touch screen sensing a touch input applied to the window and outputting visual information; and an internal frame supporting a lower portion of the touch screen. Further, the touch screen includes a display module outputting the visual information; at least one heat dissipation layer disposed below the display module to dissipate heat; and a pressure sensing part including a ground layer and a pressure sensing layer spaced apart from each other with the at least one heat dissipation layer interposed therebetween and to sense a pressure of the touch input based on a change in capacitance according to a deformation of the at least one heat dissipation layer while the touch input is being applied. In addition, the ground layer is adjacent to the display module or the internal frame.

Mobile terminal having touchscreen with pressure sensing heat radiation layers

A mobile terminal according to the present disclosure may include a body, a light-emitting device provided within the body, a display unit disposed on a front surface of the body, and a corner region of which is formed in a curved surface, and a light guide plate disposed at a lower side of the display unit to guide light emitted from the light-emitting device to the display unit, and formed with a chamfer surface at a corner region facing the curved surface, wherein the light-emitting device is disposed adjacent to the chamfer surface to emit light toward the chamfer surface.

Mobile terminal and method for controlling the same

A mobile terminal including a light guide plate; a plurality of light sources disposed on at least one side of the light guide plate; a display positioned on a front surface of the light guide plate; and a controller configured to control the display to operate in one of operation states including a first state, in which all of the plurality of light sources are activated such that an entire portion of the display is illuminated, and a second state, in which at least one light source corresponding to a partial portion of the display among the plurality of light sources is selectively activated such that the partial portion of the display is illuminated, perform an operation in accordance with a first touch input applied to the partial portion of the display in the second state, and not perform an operation in accordance with a second touch input applied to a remaining portion excluding the partial portion of the display in the second state.

Mobile terminal

A mobile terminal disclosed herein includes a window on one surface of a terminal body and configured to be curved, and a liquid crystal display (LCD) on a rear surface of the window to output visual information, and curved by external force. The liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal panel to generate an image using light from a light guide plate, at least one prism sheet disposed between the light guide plate and the liquid crystal panel, and a supporting member accommodating the light guide plate and the prism sheet and supporting the liquid crystal panel. The supporting member includes first and second mounting portions with the liquid crystal panel mounted. At least one of the first and second mounting portions has a recess portion for insertion of an edge of the prism sheet to prevent shifting of the prism sheet due to the liquid crystal display being curved.

A mobile terminal includes a liquid crystal panel, a backlight unit that is disposed on a rear surface of the liquid crystal panel and configured to emit light toward the liquid crystal panel, a window that is disposed to cover the liquid crystal panel and formed in a curved shape along one direction, and a frame that is configured to support the window, wherein the liquid crystal panel is attached onto a rear surface of the window and changed into a curved shape to correspond to the curved window, and wherein the backlight unit is attached onto the frame and formed in a curved shape to correspond to the curved liquid crystal panel.

Mobile terminal and fabricating method thereof

The present disclosure provides a mobile terminal including a window provided on one surface of a terminal body, and having a rear surface formed in a curved shape, a display mounted to the rear surface of the window and configured to output visual information through the window, and a separation-preventing member having one side coupled to the window and the other side coupled to the display, and configured to prevent the display from being separated from the window in a direction that the window and the display are spaced apart from each other.

A liquid crystal display is provided that includes a first base substrate including a first surface, a second base substrate including a second surface, a liquid crystal layer including liquid crystal molecules positioned between the first and second base substrates and configured to change alignment when electrical power is applied thereto, a first electrode positioned on the second surface and including a plurality of substantially parallel grooves extending in a first direction on a surface facing the first base substrate, the plurality of grooves configured to align the liquid crystal molecules in a preset direction when electrical power is applied, and a second electrode positioned on the first surface or on the second surface, wherein a voltage difference between the first and second electrodes applies the electrical power to the liquid crystal molecules.
