A mobile terminal according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure includes a camera, a display positioned at a first side of the mobile terminal and a second side facing the first side, and a controller, and the controller is configured to display an image identified through the camera and one or more icons related to the camera in a first area of the display positioned at the first side, and when a second area of the display positioned at the second side is positioned at the first side, display the image in at least a portion of the first area and the second area and display at least one of the one or more icons in an area distinguished from an area in which the image is displayed.

Claims (45)

1. A mobile terminal comprising:

a housing having a first side and a second side opposite the first side;

a camera attach to the housing;

a display having a first area positioned at a first side of the housing and a second area positioned at a second side of the housing; and

a controller,

wherein the controller is configured to:

display an image identified through the camera and one or more icons related to the camera in a first area of the display positioned at the first side; and

when the second area of the display positioned at the second side is moved to the first side, display the image in at least a portion of the first area and the second area and display at least one of the one or more icons in an area distinguished from an area in which the image is displayed.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein, in response to the second area of the display positioned at the second side being positioned at the first side, the controller is configured to display the image in the first area and at least one of the content in the second area.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein, in response to a first input being received, the controller is configured to display content related to an icon corresponding to the first input among the one or more icons in at least a portion of an area distinguished from the area in which the image is displayed.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 3 , wherein the content includes at least one of flash photography-related content, timer photography-related content, or script content.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 3 , wherein when the content includes the flash photography-related content, the controller is configured to further display a control icon for adjusting a flash brightness in at least a portion of an area distinguished from the area in which the image is displayed.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 3 , wherein the controller is configured to display a script-related icon in at least a portion of an area distinguished from the area in which the image is displayed, and

when the icon corresponding to the first input is the script-related icon, the content includes script information including text information.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 3 , wherein the controller is configured to change a position for displaying the content based on a posture of the mobile terminal.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to change the area in which the image is displayed, in response to a movement of a second input corresponding to the image.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 8 , wherein, in response to the second input, the controller is configured to move and display the one or more icons in an area distinguished from the area in which the image is displayed.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to change an area for displaying the one or more icons in response to a movement of a third input corresponding to the one or more icons.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 10 , wherein, in response to the third input, the controller is configured to move and display change the image in an area distinguished from the one or more icons.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein when the one or more icons are displayed on the first side, the one or more icons are displayed on the image, and

when the one or more icons are displayed in an area distinguished from the area in which the image is displayed, the one or more icons are displayed not to overlap the image.

13. A mobile terminal comprising:

a camera;

a display positioned at a first side of the mobile terminal and a second side facing the first side; and

a controller,

wherein the controller is configured to:

display an image identified through the camera and one or more icons related to the camera in a first area of the display positioned at the first side; and

when a second area of the display positioned at the second side is positioned at the first side, display the image in at least a portion of the first area and the second area and display at least one of the one or more icons in an area distinguished from an area in which the image is displayed,

wherein the camera further comprises a first lens and a second lens having an angle of view larger than that of the first lens, and

wherein the controller is further configured to:

display an image acquired through the first lens on the display positioned at the first side; and

display an image acquired through the second lens on the display positioned at the first side in response to the display positioned at the first side being increased in size.

14. The mobile terminal of claim 13 , wherein, based on a fourth input of selecting at least one portion of an image identified through the second lens, the controller is configured to capture an image corresponding to the selected at least one portion.

15. The mobile terminal of claim 13 , wherein, based on a fourth input of selecting at least one portion of an image identified through the second lens, the controller is configured to enlarge and display an image corresponding to the selected at least one portion.

16. A method of controlling a mobile terminal comprising a display positioned at a first side of a housing of the mobile terminal and a second side of the housing opposite the first side of the housing, the method comprising:

displaying an image identified through a camera and one or more icons related to the camera in a first area of the display positioned at the first side of the housing;

moving a second area of the display from the second side of the housing to the first side of the housing;

displaying, when a second area of the display moves from the second side of the housing to the first side of the housing, the image in at least a portion of the first area and the second area and displaying at least one of the one or more icons in an area distinguished from an area in which the image is displayed.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the displaying of the image and the one or more icons when the second area of the display positioned at the second side is positioned at the first side comprises:
