  • Patent number: 11252835
    Abstract: A display module, a terminal device and a bendable cover, where the bendable cover includes a flexible substrate and hard plates. The flexible substrate has a hard area and a bending area. A quantity of hard areas is the same as a quantity of the hard plates, where the hard areas are in a one-to-one correspondence with the hard plates, and each of the hard plates is located on a surface of a corresponding hard area. There is a bending area between two adjacent hard areas. Under an effect of external force, the bendable cover is capable of bending along the bending area.

  • Publication number: 20210368032
    Abstract: In a rotating shaft mechanism and a foldable mobile terminal, connecting rods and swing arms are rotatably connected to a main shaft assembly, and the swing arms and the connecting rods rotate around different axes, so that the swing arms and the connecting rods rotate and slide relative to each other. During folding, the connecting rods or the swing arms drive the two support plates to rotate towards each other, the support plates and the main shaft assembly enclose folding space for accommodating a flexible display of the mobile terminal in a folded state, so that the bending effect of the flexible display is improved, and two housings of the mobile terminal fit almost seamlessly in the folded state.

  • Publication number: 20210311573
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a sliding track of a user is detected on a shortcut touchpad of user equipment to identify a sliding direction of the sliding track. The sliding direction is matched to an interaction interface of the user equipment. One or more objects, such as an icon or an input box, are determined on a touch display screen of the user equipment based on the sliding direction of the sliding track entered by the user. The shortcut touchpad may be made to be relatively small, facilitating a one-hand operation of the user and improving user experience.

  • Publication number: 20210271294
    Abstract: A connection rod and a swing arm are separately rotatably connected to a primary shaft component, and an axis around which the swing arm rotates and an axis around which the connection rod rotates are different, so that the swing arm and the connection rod rotate and slide relative to each other. The swing arm or the connection rod drives a support plate to rotate, so that the primary shaft component and the support plates can encircle to form, when the mobile terminal is completely folded, space that accommodates a folded part of a flexible display.

  • Publication number: 20210181808
    Abstract: A hinge and a mobile terminal to resolve poor use effect of a foldable electronic device. The hinge includes a main body, and a first folding assembly and a second folding assembly that are symmetrically disposed along the main body. When the first folding assembly and the second folding assembly are rotated toward each other, a length of the hinge can be extended, and an accommodation space for accommodating the flexible display can be formed. When the first folding assembly and the second folding assembly are rotated away from each other, the length of the hinge can be reduced, and a support surface for supporting the flexible display can be formed, so that the flexible display cannot be stretched, compressed, or the like during folding and unfolding, thereby improving the use effect and safety of the mobile terminal.

  • Publication number: 20200364437
    Abstract: This application provides a fingerprint collection apparatus. According to the fingerprint collection method and the related apparatus that are provided in this application, a sensor array is divided into a plurality of areas in terms of a column based on a quantity of input ports of an analog front end component and a quantity of columns of the sensor array, and sensor units in different areas multiplex input channels of the analog front end component by using switches. In this way, when scanning row scanning lines in the sensor array, a row scanning circuit may control the switches to output, to the analog front end component in a time division manner, original fingerprint data collected by the sensor units in the different areas, so that fewer input channels of the analog front end component can be required, and a size of a fingerprint collection apparatus can be reduced.
