MOBILE TERMINAL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18279372 titled 'MOBILE TERMINAL
The patent application describes a mobile terminal with a unique display design and microphone placement.
- The mobile terminal includes a first frame with a first substrate, a second frame with a second substrate, and a display part that extends from the first frame to the second frame.
- The display part has a fixed portion on the front surface of the first frame and a variable portion that bends to the rear surface of the second frame, surrounded by an edge frame with a microphone hole.
- A microphone module is coupled to the inner surface of the edge frame to collect sounds through the microphone hole, connected to a flexible substrate with a connection terminal at one end and linked to the second substrate at the other end.
Potential Applications: - This design could be used in smartphones, tablets, or other handheld devices. - It could be beneficial in devices where space-saving and innovative display solutions are required.
Problems Solved: - Provides a compact and efficient way to integrate a microphone into the design of a mobile terminal. - Offers a unique display configuration that maximizes screen space while accommodating other components.
Benefits: - Improved design aesthetics with a unique display and microphone placement. - Enhanced functionality with a microphone integrated seamlessly into the edge frame design.
Commercial Applications: "Mobile Terminal with Innovative Display and Microphone Integration" could find applications in the smartphone industry, consumer electronics sector, and other handheld device markets. The design could appeal to manufacturers looking to differentiate their products with unique features.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the microphone placement in this mobile terminal design improve user experience? 2. What are the potential challenges in manufacturing a mobile terminal with this innovative display configuration and microphone integration?
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to a mobile terminal comprising: a first frame in which a first substrate is mounted; a second frame which moves with respect to the first frame and in which a second substrate is mounted; a display part including a fixed portion which is coupled to the front surface of the first frame and a variable portion which extends from the fixed portion and is bent to the rear surface of the second frame while surrounding the second frame; an edge frame which covers the bent portion of the display part, is coupled to the second frame, and includes a microphone hole; a microphone module which is coupled to the inner surface of the edge frame and collects sounds through the microphone hole; and a flexible substrate which is disposed at the inner surface of the edge frame and has a connection terminal coupled at one end thereof to the microphone module and connected at the other end thereof to the second substrate.
