A mobile terminal including a first frame, and a second frame capable of switching a state thereof to an extended state by moving in a first direction from the first frame, and to a contracted state by sliding in a second direction opposite to the first direction, wherein the second frame includes a rear portion for at least partially covering a rear surface of the first frame, wherein the first frame includes a first rear surface exposed rearwardly in the contracted state, a second rear surface located frontwardly of the rear portion and not exposed to the outside in the contracted state, wherein at least a portion of the second rear surface is exposed rearwardly in the extended state, and a third rear surface covered by the rear portion in the contracted state and in the extended state.

Mobile terminal

A mobile terminal comprises a display unit that may be subjected to bending deformation in a first direction, and a rolling plate attached to a rear surface of the display unit, enabling bending deformation to correspond to bending deformation of the display unit, wherein the rolling plate includes a plurality of support bars extended in a second direction vertical to the first direction and arranged in parallel in the first direction, and an expanded side portion arranged at an end portion of the plurality of support bars, and the expanded side portion includes a guide bump engaged with its adjacent expanded side portion. Since the rolling plate supporting the display unit is not twisted by rotation, the display unit may maintain a flat state.

Mobile terminal including display subjectable to bending deformation

A mobile terminal having a front surface, a rear surface, and side surfaces includes a cover glass allowing an electromagnetic wave to be transmitted therethrough, a case having a metal rim forming an appearance of the top or the bottom of the mobile terminal, and an antenna having a plurality of arrayed antenna patterns to radiate a beamformed transmission signal, wherein the antenna is disposed such that at least a portion thereof is adjacent to the metal rim, and the cover glass includes a planar portion disposed on the front surface or the rear surface and a bent portion bent from at least one end of the planar portion such that the transmission signal is radiated through the cover glass.

A mobile terminal including a display unit; a metal plate having a seating portion supporting a rear surface of the display unit and having a first coupling portion along an edge of the seating portion; a middle case having a second coupling portion covering a lateral surface of the metal plate and forming a gap between the middle case and the first coupling portion of the metal plate; a molding unit inserted in the gap and coupling the middle case and the metal plate to each other; and a rear case coupled to a rear surface of the middle case and defining an exterior of the mobile terminal.

Mobile terminal with coupling portion and molding unit for fixing and heat radiation structure

There is disclosed a mobile terminal comprising a terminal body comprising a terminal body comprising a plurality of cases forming an external appearance of the mobile terminal; a waterproof member configured to prevent liquid from entering the mobile terminal between at least two of the plurality of cases; an air vent hole configured to allow air to pass between an interior and an exterior of the mobile terminal; a waterproof mesh disposed at the air vent hole and configured to allow air but not liquid to pass through the air vent hole; an antenna module provided in the plurality of cases and comprising an antenna radiator and a wireless integrated circuit; and a heat radiation unit having a first end adjacent to the antenna module and a second end adjacent to the air vent hole to allow heat from the antenna module to escape via the air vent hole.

A mobile terminal is disclosed, by which a display and a case can be uniformly attached to each other with a reinforced adhesive strength. The present invention includes a case, a display unit installed on the case, a seating part provided to the case, the seating part configured to support the display unit, and a channel provided to the seating part, the channel configured to receive an adhesive for coupling the display unit and the case together. The channel includes a bottom portion, a first wall surface extending from the bottom portion and a second wall surface extending from the bottom portion. The second wall surface is disposed closer to a center of the case than the first wall surface. And, the second wall surface tilts at a prescribed angle toward the center of the case.

The present disclosure provides a mobile terminal including a window provided on one surface of a terminal body, and having a rear surface formed in a curved shape, a display mounted to the rear surface of the window and configured to output visual information through the window, and a separation-preventing member having one side coupled to the window and the other side coupled to the display, and configured to prevent the display from being separated from the window in a direction that the window and the display are spaced apart from each other.

A mobile terminal is provided that includes a display configured to output visual information, a frame covering a rear surface of the display, and an adhesive member that provided between the rear surface of the display and the frame and configured to couple the display to the frame, the frame formed in a curved shape to generate a bending force causing the display to curve when the display is coupled to the frame using the adhesive member.

Mobile terminal and arrangement to generate a bending force on a display

Provided is a mobile terminal including: a window disposed on a surface of a terminal body and formed to be curved; a liquid crystal display (LCD) disposed on a rear surface of the window and configured to output visual information through the window; and a frame formed in a curved shape and including a window mounting portion, on which the window is mounted and to which at least part of the window is coupled. The frame accommodates the display therein, and is configured to apply a bending force to conform the window to the curved shape of the frame and to cause the conformed window to bend the LCD when the window is attached to the frame.

Mobile terminal and method for manufacturing the same

Provided is a display device. The display device includes a display module on which a lighting source for supplying light is disposed on a back surface thereof, an optical sensor detecting luminance of the light supplied from the lighting source, and a light transmission member disposed between the lighting source and the optical sensor, the light transmission member providing a transmission path of the light generated in the lighting source to transmit the light into the optical sensor.

Display device having luminance detecting optical sensor

A mobile terminal includes: a body having a slot at one side thereof; a socket mounted to the body, and to which an external device is connected through the slot; a slide door coupled to the body so as to expose or cover the socket; and a guide portion formed in the body, and configured to guide motion of the sliding door, wherein the slide door comprises: a base having a plate shape; a manipulation portion protruding from a front surface of the base, and exposed to the outside through the slot; and a rail portion formed to be slidable along the guide portion, and coupled to a rear surface of the base so as to be covered by the base.
