Abstract:
1. A mobile terminal comprising: a display module displaying an image in an entire display zone; a sensing unit recognizing a gesture, wherein the gesture is input externally and is for conversion between two-dimensional display and three-dimensional display; and a controller controlling the display module to perform a first display action for three-dimensionally displaying a first part of the image in a first zone of the entire display zone and two-dimensionally displaying a second part of the image in a second zone as the gesture is recognized, and to perform a second display action subsequently to the first display action for three-dimensionally displaying a third part of the image in a third zone of the entire display zone and two-dimensionally displaying a fourth part of the image in a fourth zone, wherein, if the image is two-dimensionally displayed in the entire display zone before the gesture is input, the first and fourth zones are included in the third and second zones, respectively, wherein if the image is three-dimensionally displayed in the entire display zone before the gesture is input, the third and second zones are included in the first and fourth zones, respectively, wherein the controller partially enables a barrier of the display module by activating only a first region of the barrier for the first display action or by activating only a second region of the barrier for the second display action, if the image is two-dimensionally displayed in the entire display zone before the gesture is input, wherein the first region of the barrier corresponds to the first zone, and the second region of the barrier corresponds to the third zone, and wherein the controller is further configured to: control the display module to display a plurality of image items, receive a user's selection of an area on the display module, the area including at least one of the plurality of image items, and in response to receiving the user's selection of the area, display the at least one image item three-dimensionally.
