Abstract
Disclosed is a mobile terminal using a display unit and a control method thereof. The mobile terminal includes a controller which displays first screen information corresponding to a first application on a first display region disposed on an inner surface when the mobile terminal is open, and converts the first screen information into second screen information when a folding event is generated. Further, the controller converts the first screen information or the second screen information into third screen information which is different from the second screen information when an angle between first and second regions of the first display region corresponding to the folding event is less than a reference value.
