MOBILE TERMINAL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18038310 titled 'MOBILE TERMINAL
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a mobile terminal with a hinge assembly that allows for flexible display support. Here are the key points:
- The mobile terminal has a hinge assembly that includes body rotation bodies, a support bridge, and a display support.
- The body rotation bodies are spaced apart from each other in the widthwise direction of the first and second bodies of the terminal.
- The support bridge connects the body rotation bodies to each other.
- The display support overlaps with the support bridge and is movable based on the movement of the support bridge.
- In the first state, the display support supports a flexible display.
- In the second state, the display support moves away from the flexible display.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile devices with flexible displays, such as smartphones or tablets.
- Devices that require a hinge mechanism for folding or bending displays, such as wearable devices or foldable laptops.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Enables the use of flexible displays in mobile devices, providing a more versatile and durable screen.
- Allows for the folding or bending of displays, enabling new form factors and designs for mobile devices.
Benefits of this technology:
- Provides a more compact and portable mobile device when the display support is moved away from the flexible display.
- Enhances the durability of the flexible display by providing support when needed.
- Enables new design possibilities for mobile devices with flexible displays.
Original Abstract Submitted
A mobile terminal is disclosed. The mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a hinge assembly. The hinge assembly comprises: a pair of body rotation bodies which are arranged to be spaced apart from each other in the widthwise direction of a first body and a second body; a support bridge which is arranged between the pair of body rotation bodies and connects the body rotation bodies to each other; and a display support which is arranged to overlap with the support bridge in the widthwise direction of the first body and the second body and is formed to be movable by being linked to the movement of the support bridge, wherein the display support is, in a first state, arranged to support a flexible display and, in a second state, moves to be spaced apart from the flexible display.
