Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a mobile terminal, including: a window; a display disposed on the underside of the window to output visual information through the window and including an organic light emitting diode; a fingerprint sensor disposed on the underside of the display to sense a fingerprint of a user on the window; and a piezoelectric actuator formed in an annular shape to receive the fingerprint sensor therein and configured to transfer vibration to the window or sense a force applied to the window.
Claims20
A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a window;
- a display disposed on the underside of the window to output visual information through the window and including an organic light emitting diode;
- a fingerprint sensor disposed on the underside of the display to sense a fingerprint of a user on the window;
- and
- a piezoelectric actuator formed in an annular shape with a hollow portion to receive the fingerprint sensor in the hollow portion and configured to transfer vibration to the window or sense a force applied to the window.
A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a display part for outputting visual information to the front surface;
- a rear key including a fingerprint sensor for sensing a fingerprint of a user and disposed on the rear surface to overlap with the display part in the thickness direction;
- a piezoelectric actuator disposed on the underside of the rear key to transfer vibration to the rear key or sense a force applied to the rear key;
- and
- a frame supporting the piezoelectric actuator and including a recess portion in the top surface to define a cavity with the underside of the piezoelectric actuator.
A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a touch screen for outputting visual information;
- a plurality of vibration elements;
- and
- a controller for controlling the driving of the touch screen and the plurality of vibration elements,
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- sense the touch position of the touch screen;
- drive any one of the plurality of vibration elements to generate vibration based on the sensed touch position;
- sense the movement of the touch;
- and
- change the vibration element generating vibration to another vibration element based on the moved touch position.
A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a plurality of vibration elements;
- a grip sensor part for sensing the grip of the terminal body;
- and
- a controller for controlling the driving of the plurality of vibration elements,
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- use the grip sensor part to sense the grip of the terminal body;
- and
- control the driving of each of the plurality of vibration elements to output one of a plurality of vibration patterns based on the sensed grip position.
A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a display part for outputting visual information;
- a plurality of vibration elements;
- a grip sensor part for sensing the grip of the terminal body;
- and
- a controller for controlling the driving of the plurality of vibration elements,
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- use the grip sensor part to sense the grip of the terminal body;
- sense the movement of the grip;
- and
- drive any one of the plurality of vibration elements to generate vibration based on the moved grip position,
- wherein the controller drives the vibration element, which is adjacent to the sensed grip position, of the plurality of vibration elements, and
- wherein the controller controls a current applied to the adjacent vibration element based on the moved grip position.
