A mobile terminal including a touch panel including a plurality of touch panel electrodes; a stylus pen configured to perform transmission and reception of an electric signal with the touch panel using capacitive coupling and without using a separate power supply to the stylus pen; and a controller configured to, when the electric signal is received from the stylus pen through the capacitive coupling, detect a location of the stylus pen with respect to the touch panel based on signal magnitudes of at least two touch panel electrodes from which the electrical signal is detected.
