Abstract
A mobile terminal disclosed herein includes a terminal body that is configured to be deformable by an external force, a deformation sensor that is configured to sense a folded state and an unfolded state of the terminal body, a display unit that is mounted to the terminal body and configured to output screen information in the unfolded state, a touch sensor that is located on a folding edge area of the terminal body which is deformed upon conversion into the folded state, and configured to sense a user's touch input, and a controller that is configured to control the display unit to output divided screen information when the unfolded state is converted into the folded state after the touch input applied along the folding edge area is sensed in the folded state.
