Abstract: An apparatus for and a method of displaying information in a folder type communication terminal provided with a folder in such a fashion that the user can view the displayed information even in a closed status of the folder. A transparent LCD is fixedly mounted in an opening formed through a portion of the folder so that an image indicative of the information to be displayed is viewed in either the open or closed status of the folder. The present invention provides a configuration capable of controlling the transparent LCD in such a fashion that the image is displayed in a normal status in either the open or closed status of the folder. A folder-sensing unit detects whether or not the folder is open or closed. Based on the result of the detection, the transparent LCD is controlled to display the image in a normal status thereon in the sensed status of the folder.
