A mobile terminal comprising: a body including a first body, a second body, and a connection unit connecting the first body to the second body, wherein the connection unit is configured such that an angle between the first and second bodies is changeable from a first angle, wherein the first body and the second body are substantially coplanar, to a second angle, wherein the first body and the second body are folded onto each other, and wherein the first body includes a transmissive region; a transparent flexible display unit mounted to a first surface of and spanning at least a portion of both the first body and the second body, the flexible display unit configured to display screen information, wherein the flexible display unit is at least partially overlapped with the transmissive region; a sensing unit configured to detect when the mobile terminal is in a first state, wherein the angle between the first and second bodies is greater than a predetermined angular value, and when the mobile terminal is in a second state, wherein the angle between the first and second bodies is less than or equal to the predetermined angular value; a touch sensor formed on a second surface of the first body opposite the first surface on which the flexible display unit is mounted, the touch sensor being disposed to face a region of the flexible display unit, and a controller configured to increase the transparency of a region corresponding to the transmissive region and activate the touch sensor if the angle between the first and second bodies (1010, 1020) is decreased as detected by the sensing unit; control the flexible display unit to display at least one image based on a touch input applied to the touch sensor; and receive a touch input, via the touch sensor overlapped with the screen information. a body including a first body, a second body, and a connection unit connecting the first body to the second body, wherein the connection unit is configured such that an angle between the first and second bodies is changeable from a first angle, wherein the first body and the second body are substantially coplanar, to a second angle, wherein the first body and the second body are folded onto each other, and wherein the first body includes a transmissive region; a transparent flexible display unit mounted to a first surface of and spanning at least a portion of both the first body and the second body, the flexible display unit configured to display screen information, wherein the flexible display unit is at least partially overlapped with the transmissive region; a sensing unit configured to detect when the mobile terminal is in a first state, wherein the angle between the first and second bodies is greater than a predetermined angular value, and when the mobile terminal is in a second state, wherein the angle between the first and second bodies is less than or equal to the predetermined angular value; a touch sensor formed on a second surface of the first body opposite the first surface on which the flexible display unit is mounted, the touch sensor being disposed to face a region of the flexible display unit, and a controller configured to increase the transparency of a region corresponding to the transmissive region and activate the touch sensor if the angle between the first and second bodies (1010, 1020) is decreased as detected by the sensing unit; control the flexible display unit to display at least one image based on a touch input applied to the touch sensor; and receive a touch input, via the touch sensor overlapped with the screen information.
