         9 . The mobile terminal of  claim 1 , wherein the motor is a linear vibration motor having a linearly moving vibrator inside a case of the linear vibration motor,
 wherein a transfer port connects the case to the perfume generator, and   wherein an emission port is disposed in a side of the case to emit the perfume in response to the linear motion of the vibrator.   
     
     
         10 . The mobile terminal of  claim 9 , wherein the transfer port comprises a first check valve and the emission port comprises a second check valves. 
     
     
         11 . The mobile terminal of  claim 1 , wherein the motor is a vibration motor comprising a balance weight to vibrate while rotating, and the balance weight comprises a valve to emit the perfume to the outside of the mobile terminal while the balance weight rotates. 
     
     
         12 . The mobile terminal of  claim 11 , wherein the balance weight comprises a blade, wherein an air flow is formed by the blade so that the perfume is emitted to the outside of the mobile terminal by the air flow while the balance weight rotates. 
     
     
         13 . The mobile terminal of  claim 12 , wherein the perfume generator comprises a transfer port, the vibration motor has an inner hole corresponding to the transfer port, the case of the vibration motor has a transfer hole in fluid communication with the inner hole, and the valve opens the transfer hole as the balance weight moves. 
     
     
         14 . The mobile terminal of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 a cylinder disposed at one side of the case of the vibration motor adjacent to the perfume generator to form the inner hole in the case;   a printed circuit board (PCB) disposed inside the case;   a magnet disposed at one side of the PCB; and   a balance weight disposed at one side of the magnet,   wherein the valve comprises:
 a pillar disposed in the cylinder and at a center of the balance weight, the pillar extending to an outside of the case, and 
 a disk disposed at an outside end of the pillar to open the transfer hole, 
   wherein, if a power is supplied to the balance weight, the balance weight moves so that the disk opens the transfer hole.   
     
     
         15 . The mobile terminal of  claim 14 , wherein the pillar is magnetic and an attraction between the magnet and the pillar is smaller than a repulsive force generated if the power is supplied to the balance weight. 
     
     
         16 . The mobile terminal of  claim 4 , wherein the mobile terminal is a slide-type mobile terminal wherein a moving body is coupled to a main body so as to move linearly with respect to the main body, and the pump comprises a cylinder disposed in one of the main body and the moving body and a piston disposed in the other of the main body and the moving body, the piston being linearly moveable in the cylinder.
