Abstract: A hinge includes a first shaft and a second shaft that are parallel to each other, first and third arms rotatably coupled to the first shaft and including first and third rotary cams, second and fourth arms rotatably coupled to the second shaft and including second and fourth rotary cams, a first sliding part coupled to the first and second shafts to be movable along the first and second shafts and including a first sliding cam facing the first rotary cam and a second sliding cam facing the second rotary cam, a second sliding part coupled to the first and second shafts to be movable along the first and second shafts and including a third sliding cam facing the third rotary cam and a fourth sliding cam facing the fourth rotary cam, and an elastic member disposed between the first sliding part and the second sliding part.

Abstract: A display device includes: a bendable display panel including a flat area and bendable areas; and a support module disposed on the display panel, wherein the support module supports the display panel, wherein the support module includes a support plate and joints, wherein the support plate overlaps the flat area and the bendable areas and includes lattice pattern areas including lattice patterns, and wherein the joints are disposed on the support plate, are disposed to overlap with the bendable areas, and are spaced apart from one another in the first direction. Each of the joints has a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the top surface is disposed on the support plate, and the bottom surface is opposite to the top surface, and a width of each of the top surfaces of the joints is less than a width of each of the bottom surfaces of the joints.

Abstract: In a mobile communication terminal in which a flexible display panel is provided in two body portions which are foldably connected to each other, a plurality of rotation supports are provided in a central joint that connects the two body portions and two sliding panels sliding in the respective body portions together and the rotation supports are directly connected to the two body portions to support rotation of the body portions such that the body portions do not rotate over 180 degrees when the two body portions are fully unfolded, whereby damage of the flexible display panel provided on the surfaces of the two body portions is prevented.

Abstract: An in-folding type hinge structure having a flexible display panel installed thereon for a mobile communication terminal is provided. In the in-folding type hinge structure, a flexible display panel is provided in two panel portions which are foldably connected to each other, in which folding units can perform a stable folding operation while the two panel portions are being folded or unfolded and the two panel portions are supported such that the panel portions do not rotate over 180 degrees when the two panel portions are fully unfolded, whereby damage of the flexible display panel provided on the surfaces of the two panel portions can be prevented.

Abstract: Provided is an in-folding type hinge structure having a flexible display panel installed therein in a mobile communication terminal in which a flexible display panel is provided in a pair of panel portions which are foldably connected to each other, in which a stable folding operation can be performed while the panel portions are being folded or unfolded and the panel portions do not rotate over 180 degrees when the panel portions are fully unfolded, whereby damage of the flexible display panel provided on the surfaces of the panel portions can be prevented.

Abstract: A hinge structure for a mobile communication terminal that is foldable in two opposite directions is provided. The hinge structure for a mobile communication terminal having a flexible display panel installed therein is foldable inward and outward in a fully unfolded state such that the flexible display panel is disposed inside and outside and a screen on which an image such as a moving image is displayed is invisibly disposed inside or visibly disposed outside in a state in which the mobile communication terminal is folded.

Abstract: In a mobile communication terminal in which a flexible display panel is provided in two body portions which are foldably connected to each other, a plurality of rotation supports are provided in a central joint that connects the two body portions and two sliding panels sliding in the respective body portions together and the rotation supports are directly connected to the two body portions to support rotation of the body portions such that the body portions do not rotate over 180 degrees when the two body portions are fully unfolded, whereby damage of the flexible display panel provided on the surfaces of the two body portions is prevented.
