The second cover is made of a material which is different from the material of the first cover, and has a higher rigidity than the first cover.

Mobile terminal

A mobile terminal includes: a first body, a second body rotatable relative to the first body, a flexible display disposed on the first body and the second body, and a hinge assembly adjusting the first body and the second body to (i) a first state in which the first body and the second body are disposed in parallel to each other or (ii) a second state in which the first body and the second body are disposed to face each other. The hinge assembly includes body rotators spaced apart from each other in a width direction of the first body, a support bridge disposed between the body rotators to connect each of the body rotators, and a display support disposed to overlap with the support bridge in a width direction of the first body and configured to be movable in connection with a movement of the support bridge.

A flexible display device is disclosed. The flexible display device includes a first body, a second body, a flexible display, and a lubrication rail. The lubrication rail is made of self-lubricating engineering plastic, and is provided as a pair of lubrication rails. When the first body and the second body move relative to each other, a surface of the lubrication rail significantly reduces friction that occurs in a contact portion between the first body and the second body.

An electronic device including a flexible display having a first region and a second region; a first frame supporting the first region and rotatable about a first axis; a second frame supporting the second region and rotatable about a second axis different than the first axis; and a hinge module connecting the first frame and the second frame and including a gear mechanism so the first frame rotatable about the first axis and the second frame rotatable about the second axis rotate in conjunction and synchronization with each other when the electronic device is folded and unfolded.

Electronic device

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal comprising: a front case having a display mounted on the front part thereof; a rear case coupled to one side of the front case and coupled to the rear part of same; a main circuit board provided between the front case and the rear case; and a fluid movement port having a groove, of a predetermined depth, formed to be adjacent to the edge of the front part of the front case and extend in one direction, wherein the fluid movement port can guide the movement of fluid which enters through gaps between the display and the front case.

A flexible display device including a first body; a second body; and a flexible display unit arranged on a front surface of the first body and the second body. Further, in a folded state of the flexible display unit, the second body covers a rear surface of the first body, a first part of the flexible display unit is wound around a bearing portion in the first body and a second part of the flexible display unit is exposed to the outside; in an unfolded state of the flexible display unit, the first body and the second body are arranged in parallel; and in an extending state of the flexible display unit from the unfolded state, the first body is extended and the first part of the flexible display unit is unwound from the bearing portion and exposed on an extended portion of the flexible display device.

Flexible display device

A flexible display device including a first body; a second body; a flexible display unit arranged on a front surface of the first body and the second body; and a hinge unit connecting the first body and the second body to each other such that the first body and the second body can be folded and unfolded with respect to each other. Further, the hinge unit includes a plurality of hinge segments such that in a folding state of the flexible display unit, the second body is arranged to cover a rear surface of the first body as an interval between the hinge segments is increased, and in an unfolded state of the flexible display unit, the first body and the second body are arranged in parallel with the interval between the hinge segments being decreased.

A roll-slide mobile terminal including a case including a first frame and a second frame configured to slide and extend in a first direction with respect to the first frame, a flexible display wound over a front surface and a rear surface of the case, wherein an area of the front surface of the flexible display is increased or decreased in size based on a sliding movement of the second frame, a slide assembly provided in one member of the first frame and the second frame and including a shaft having a rotation axis in the first direction and forming a screw line along the rotation axis, wherein the second frame slidably moves with respect to the first frame according to a rotation of the shaft, and a screw hole provided in the other member of the first frame and the second frame, the screw hole configured to engage the screw line of the shaft passing through the screw hole.

Roll-slide mobile terminal

Disclosed is a mobile terminal comprising a first frame comprising a plurality of first support portions extended in a horizontal direction, and vertically spaced a preset distance apart from another one of the plurality of first support portions; a second frame comprising a plurality of second support portions provided between respectively corresponding first support portions and configured to slidingly move relative to the first frame in the horizontal direction, causing a change from a first state to a second state in which the mobile terminal is expanded; and a flexible display comprising a first area provided on a front surface of the first plurality of first support portion; and a second area provided on a rear side of the first area by being folded to surround the second frame.

The present invention provides a mobile terminal comprising: a terminal body including an opening region through which a sound is outputted; and a waterproof speaker module arranged adjacently to the opening region and outputting the sound, wherein the waterproof speaker module includes a speaker module forming the sound, a housing accommodating the speaker module and including a sound hole through which the sound is outputted, and a cover part connected to the housing so as to form a separation space in which the sound is outputted by the sound hole, and moved by a water pressure at least that of a certain reference pressure so as to cover the sound hole, thereby preventing the inflow of water into the speaker module.

A flexible display device including a first body; a second body; a flexible display unit arranged on a front surface of the first and second bodies; and a rear plate coupled to a rear surface of the flexible display unit, and configured to be transformed together with the flexible display unit.
