Abstract

The present specification provides a mobile terminal in which a display unit can expand, and a control method therefor. In the mobile terminal of the present invention, when an input signal detected by a sensing unit is equal to or larger than a threshold value, an operation that expands or contracts the display unit according to a touch drag direction is performed, thus allowing a user to intuitively control the mobile terminal. Further, there is an advantage in that the mobile terminal can be prevented from being dislodged from the user's hand while the display unit is in the process of expanding.
