1. A mobile terminal comprising:
- a housing having an opening;
a display provided in the opening of the housing;
a bezel provided on the housing;
a plurality of sensors provided at the bezel, at least one of the sensors detecting an input command on the bezel such that an image on the display changes or a command is performed by the mobile terminal; and
a plurality of light-emitting elements respectively associated with the plurality of sensors, the light-emitting elements provided at the bezel and being vertically shifted or adjacent to the sensors, and the light-emitting elements to emit visible light through the sensors, andwherein at least one of the light-emitting elements generates visible light based on at least one of the sensors detecting the input command, the at least one of the light-emitting elements respectively associated with the at least one sensor detecting the input command, to inform that the at least one sensor is in an active state to receive the input command.

Abstract
A mobile terminal is provided that includes a housing having an opening, a display provided in the opening of the housing, a bezel provided on the housing, and at least one sensor or a touch screen/sensor provided at the bezel. The at least one sensor or touch screen detects a user selection on the bezel such that an image on the display changes or a command is performed by the mobile terminal. The sensor or the touch screen/sensor also allows images on the main display to be not hidden because items or commands are selected on the bezel.
