Patent ID: 8295892

Claim:
A mobile terminal, comprising: a terminal body; a transparent display formed at the terminal body; a solar cell configured to be disposed below the transparent display and to generate electricity using light incident and transmitting through the transparent display; and a controller configured to: divide the transparent display into a first display region and a second display region upon detection of a standby state of the mobile terminal, wherein the standby state indicates a state of the mobile terminal during which an input is ready to be received by the mobile terminal; display preset specific information in the second display region while maintaining the first display region transparent without any information displayed thereon during the standby state, wherein the light incident and transmitting to the solar cell through the transparent display passes substantially through the first display region but is blocked by the preset specific information in the second display region during the standby state; and remove the preset specific information from the second display region while maintaining the first display region transparent to increase an amount of the light incident and transmitting to the solar cell through the transparent display when the mobile terminal is transformed from the standby state to a power saving state if there is no input detected for a predetermined time since the detection of the standby state, wherein the light incident and transmitting through the transparent display passes substantially through both the first display region and the second display region during the power saving state.
