Mobile terminal displaying TV image on both main and sub display units

摘要

Disclosed herein is a mobile terminal capable of receiving TV signals over the air. The mobile terminal includes main and sub display units for displaying operating states, a TV receiver unit for recovering an image signal from a TV signal received over the air, and a signal processor unit for outputting the image signal from the TV receiver to the main display unit and the sub display unit selectively or simultaneously. The mobile terminal may further include a flip open/close detector for detecting whether a flip is opened or closed and outputting a flip open/close detection signal, and a phone control unit for controlling the signal processor unit to output the image signal to the sub display unit located on the outer surface of the flip when the flip open/close detection signal indicates that the flip is closed.
