The present invention relates to a mobile terminal, and more particularly, to a mobile terminal that provides a convenient user interface by displaying a direction icon and / or an input button transparently in an on-screen display (OSD) method. will be.

On Screen Display (OSD) is one of the functions commonly used in television, projection, and computer, and is mainly provided for image quality adjustment, menu selection, or information provision.

In general, the OSD displays a screen for adjusting image quality or selecting a menu at a predetermined position of a screen on which video information is displayed. Therefore, the screen displayed by the OS D method has a problem in that the screen below the overlapped part is generally not opaque because it is generally displayed opaquely on the original displayed image information.

The present invention is to provide a mobile terminal that can increase the number of input buttons displayed in the input area by displaying a direction icon to which a specific function is assigned in the OSD (On Screen Display) method in the display area of the mobile terminal. .

In addition, the present invention is more convenient for the user by adjusting the transparency of the direction icon displayed on the transparent screen (OSD) method, while moving the position of the direction icon displayed on the display area to a predetermined position It is to provide a mobile terminal that provides an interface.

In addition, the present invention is to provide a method for transparently displaying the direction icon on the display area of the mobile terminal, to move the displayed direction icon to a predetermined position, or to adjust the transparency of the displayed direction icon.

The present invention provides a touch screen including a display area and an input area; And a controller configured to transparently display a direction icon to which a specific function is assigned in the display area in an On Screen Display (OSD) manner. The controller may include an on-off module for turning the direction icon on and off in the input area according to an external touch time with respect to the input area, and a transparency control module for adjusting the transparency of the direction icon. And a transparent icon displayed on the touch screen to activate any one of the moving modules for moving the direction icon to a predetermined position on the touch screen.
