A first information indication is removed from a display screen of a liquid crystal display device, when a screen size display mode is switched into a full-screen display mode where only second information is displayed on the display screen. When a notification mode for notifying the first information by using a notification unit is selected/set by operating a key unit, this first information is notified by employing a light-emitting diode for notifying a message reception, an LCD back light, a KEY back light; or a vibrator.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An object of the present invention is to provide a mobile communication terminal capable of notifying necessary information even under a condition that the display mode is switched to the so-called "full-screen display mode.
" Another object of the present invention is to provide a mobile communication terminal capable of improving communication reliability and communication operability, while necessary information can be notified even under a full-screen display mode.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide an information display method of a mobile communication terminal having a superior information notification function, while necessary information can be notified even under a full-screen display mode.
A mobile communication terminal, according to an aspect of the present invention, comprises first information indicative of a condition of the mobile communication terminal, and also second information containing at least one of character information and image information are displayed on a display in a first display mode; the second information is displayed on the display in a full screen size in a second display mode; and the mobile communication terminal comprises a notification control unit for notifying the first information by employing a notification unit when the present display mode is switched to the second display mode.
In this case, the above-described first information corresponds to information-amount fixed information indicative of a predetermined apparatus condition which contains, for instance, at least one of an electric field strength and a battery energy remaining amount.
The above-described second information corresponds to information-amount variable information containing, for example, at least one of a telephone number, a character message, and an illustration figure.
This information-amount variable information is displayed on a display screen of a display device in order to be confirmed by a user.
Specifically, the first information contains so-called "pictorial indications" such as an antenna figure indication showing an electric field strength, and a battery figure indication indicating a battery energy remaining amount
