Patent ID: 10620766

Abstract:
A mobile terminal including a touch screen including a display panel; and a controller configured to determine surrounding environment information of the mobile terminal by comparing a variation value of touch data sensed on the touch screen with a reference condition set based on a change in the touch data according to a temperature in an atmospheric environment and an underwater environment, set a touch sensing method for sensing a touch input applied to the touch screen to sensing the touch input using a change in capacitance of the touch screen when the surrounding environment information indicates the mobile terminal is operating in the atmospheric environment, and set the touch sensing method for sensing the touch input applied to the touch screen to sensing the touch input using a pressure change applied to the touch screen when the surrounding environment information indicates the mobile terminal is operating in the underwater environment. Further, the display panel includes a color filter glass, a liquid crystal layer, a touch sensor, and a rear glass sequentially layered on the touch screen.
