Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a mobile terminal in which part of the display unit can be bent or flexed, and a control method thereof. The mobile terminal may include a display unit with flexibility configured to be placed in a first state in which a specific region is planar and a second state in which the specific region is protruded, and a controller configured to change the specific region from the first state to the second state when an event has occurred in an application, and display an icon indicating the event in the specific region. Here, the controller may execute at least one function associated with the event when the second state is restored to the first state.
