The present invention relates to a mobile terminal and a control method therefor, the mobile terminal comprising: at least one camera; a display unit placed toward the eyes of a user searing the mobile terminal and for displaying an image, the image comprising one of a VR (virtual reality) image and a 3D image; and a control unit for performing an action related to the image according to a gesture input sensed by the camera, wherein, when a first gesture input proceeding along a first plane opposite to the image is sensed or a second gesture input proceeding along a second plane orthogonal to the first plane is sensed by the camera, the control unit performs an action corresponding to the sensed first or second gesture input, thereby providing the user with an effect of providing more various VR related functions through the first gesture input made on a first plane space opposite to the image visible to the eyes of the user and the second gesture input made on a second plane space orthogonal to the first plane.

Mobile terminal for controlling VR image and control method therefor

A mobile terminal is disclosed. The mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention can comprise: a display unit for displaying an image; a pen mountable on or detachable from the mobile terminal, and making contact with a screen of the display unit so as to provide an input to the mobile terminal; a sensing unit for sensing the mounting or the detachment of the pen; and a control unit for controlling the display unit such that an execution image of a memo application to be controlled according to the mounting or the detachment of the pen is displayed.

Mobile terminal and flexible display device

A flexible display device is provided. The flexible display device includes a display extendable from the device; a sensor to detect an extended amount of the display; and a controller configured to cause the display to display a home screen on a pre-extension display region, which is a region of the display that is visible prior to extending of the display; cause the display to display a folder including an application icon corresponding to an application, wherein the folder and the application icon are displayed on the pre-extension display region; detect, via the sensor, extension of the display; and cause the display to display the folder enlarged and the application icon enlarged on an extended display region, which is a region of the display that is visible after extending of the display.

Flexible display device and operating method thereof

A mobile terminal including a short-range communication module configured to provide short-range wireless communication; a touch screen; and a controller configured to deactivate the touch screen and enter the mobile terminal into a lock state, detect the mobile terminal is tilted more than a predetermined slope, receive a first touch input on the deactivated touch screen, and control the short-range communication module to transmit a first IR signal to an external device for controlling the external device when the first touch input matches a predetermined password for unlocking the mobile terminal into an unlocked state.
