Abstract: A mobile terminal and controlling method thereof are disclosed. The mobile terminal includes a solar cell module and a selective transmitting member for selectively transmitting light, thereby supplying the light to the solar cell module selectively. Accordingly, since a light-transmitting display and a solar cell module are stacked on each other, the present invention enables a user to appreciate information displayed on the light-transmitting display while enabling the solar cell module to charge a battery. Moreover, since the light having passed through a light-transmitting display can be reflected by a selective transmission member provided between the light-transmitting display and a solar cell module, the present invention is able to enhance readability of information displayed on the light-transmitting display.

Abstract: A mobile terminal for use in a wireless communication includes a first slide member, a second slide member, and a shielded cable. The first slide member includes a first surface having a display module and a second surface having a circuitry for controlling the mobile terminal, and opposite side edges configured to operate as slide guides. The first slide member is substantially covered with a front case. The second slide member includes opposite facing slide rails to slidably engage the opposite side edges of the first slide member. The first and second slide members are operatively coupled using an elastic module to bias the first and second slide members to one of open and closed positions. The shielded cable electronically couples a battery disposed in the second slide member to the circuitry disposed in the first slide member.
