Abstract

A mobile terminal comprises: a body frame that is expandable in a first direction and shrinkable in a second direction; a flexible display in which the area of a display unit positioned on the front surface of the body frame is expanded according to the expansion of the body frame; a driving unit that changes the size of the body; a sensing unit that senses a user command; and a control unit that controls the driving unit to expand or shrink the body frame on the basis of the user command sensed by the sensing unit. Thus, a screen of the display unit positioned on the front surface can be expanded through size adjustment. Because a part of the screen always faces the outside, a separate secondary display unit is not required, and the screen may be expanded step by step as needed.
