Abstract
A mobile terminal is disclosed. The mobile terminal comprises: a case; an input module installed at the case, the input module acquiring a touch input of a user; and a controller generating a control signal, wherein the input module includes: a button having a plurality of holes, the plurality of holes located on the case; a capacitive sensor located in the case, the capacitive sensor acquiring a variation of a electrostatic capacitance in accordance with the touch input; and a dielectric layer located between the button and the capacitive sensor; wherein the electrostatic capacitance includes: a first electrostatic capacitance generated between the user and the capacitive sensor through the plurality of holes; and a second electrostatic capacitance generated between the button and the capacitive sensor, and wherein the controller generates the control signal when the capacitive sensor acquires the variations of the first and second electrostatic capacitances.
