  • Patent number: 7990399
    Abstract: A mobile communication terminal having a wide display unit and a method of controlling a wide display unit are provided. The method of controlling a wide display unit having a standard area and an extension area in a mobile communication terminal includes displaying data in the standard area and user's additional information in the extension area; and repartitioning, if a rotation of the wide display unit is detected, the standard area and the extension area, and rotating and displaying the data and user's additional information in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the wide display unit. Therefore, by displaying data in a standard area of the wide display unit and displaying user's additional information in an extension area of the wide display unit, the wide display unit can be effectively used.
