Foldable mobile terminal extracting a touch input coordinate from horizontal electrodes overlapped by the touch input
Abstract:
A mobile terminal including a first body; a second body arranged side by side with the first body in a first direction; a hinge unit connecting the first body and the second body and configured to vary an angle defined by the first body and the second body; a flexible display unit including a first area provided in one surface of the first body, a second area provided in one surface of the second body, and a third area provided in an area corresponding to the hinge unit; and a touch sensor in the flexible display unit. In addition, the touch sensor includes a plurality of first transparent electrodes extended in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and arranged side by side in the first direction; a plurality of second transparent electrodes provided in the first area, and extended in the first direction and arranged side by side in the second direction; a plurality of third transparent electrodes provided in the second area, and extended in the first direction and arranged side by side in the second direction; and a drive IC configured to determine a touch point based on a touch signal sensed in the first transparent electrodes, the second transparent electrodes and the third transparent electrodes.
