Electronic devices may be provided that contain flexible displays that are bent to form displays on multiple surfaces of the devices. Bent flexible displays may be bent to form front side displays and edge displays. Edge displays may be separated from front side displays or from other edge displays using patterned housing members, printed or painted masks, or by selectively activating and inactivating display pixels associated with the flexible display. Edge displays may alternately function as virtual buttons, virtual switches, or informational displays that are supplemental to front side displays. Virtual buttons may include transparent button members, lenses, haptic feedback components, audio feedback components, or other components for providing feedback to a user when virtual buttons are activated.

The signal input device according to an embodiment of the present inventive concept may have effects in that the number of buttons included in the signal input device can be reduced because different types of input signals can be generated depending on a direction of a laterally pushed manipulation force, and a configuration can be simplified, a production cost can be significantly reduced and two or more input signals can be simultaneously generated because a laterally pushed manipulation force can be detected although a separate pressure sensor is not provided.

Disclosed herein is a mobile terminal capable of indicating the position of a force sensor arranged inside a side case using the shape of a non-conductive mold disposed between conductive members to sense pressure. For the mobile terminal, a user input unit and an antenna may be arranged to overlap each other, and a bump and a recess may be formed using a non-conductive mold that is easy to process. Accordingly, uniformity of appearance may be maintained without forming a bump and a recess on the conductive member.
