1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
- at least one touchscreen light emitting device provided on at least one lateral side of the mobile terminal;
a sensing device;
a touchscreen provided on a front face of the mobile terminal; and
a controller configured to detect, via the sensing device, that the mobile terminal is in a face-down mode;
wherein the at least one touchscreen light emitting device is further configured to emit light toward a right direction or a left direction of the mobile terminal in response to at least one preset event while the mobile terminal is in the face-down mode,wherein the at least one preset event further includes an occurrence of a missed call from a first contact, wherein the controller is further configured to extend a light emitting region of the at least one touchscreen light emitting device in proportion to an amount of missed calls from the first contact while the mobile terminal is in the face-down mode, andwherein the controller is further configured to;
detect, via the sensing device, a color of a surface that the front face of the mobile terminal faces in the face-down mode, andcontrol the at least one touchscreen light emitting device to emit light of a different color complementary to the color of the surface in response to the at least one preset event while the mobile terminal is in the face-down mode.
