Abstract: This mobile terminal comprises: a flexible display unit that surrounds one end of a body and includes a front part located on the front surface of the body and a rear part located on the rear surface thereof, wherein the surface areas of the front part and the rear part change as the second frame moves by sliding; a rolling hinge that is located on the rear surface of the flexible display unit and can deform according to the bending deformation of the flexible display unit; and an adhesive tape that attaches the rolling hinge to the display unit, wherein the rolling hinge includes a plurality of support bars extending in a third direction perpendicular to a first direction and arranged side by side in the first direction, and the adhesive tape includes a first slit extending in the third direction.

Abstract: A mobile terminal according to an embodiment includes a display panel having flexibility, and a support plate configured to support the display panel and to include a curved edge, at least a part of which is surrounded by the display panel. The display panel includes a base substrate, a light-emitting layer provided on the base substrate and configured to include a light-emitting element, a thin-film encapsulation layer configured to seal the light-emitting element, and a thin-film transistor (TFT) film configured to supply a signal to the light-emitting element, a polarizing film provided on the light-emitting layer, and a protective film provided on the polarizing film. The TFT film is extended from the base substrate at the curved edge to cover an edge of the base substrate.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a mobile terminal including: a body including a first frame and a second frame configured to slide in a first direction with respect to the first frame and slide in a second direction; a flexible display configured to cover a part of the body, wherein a front surface area of the flexible display is configured to vary according to the sliding of the second frame; and a rolling hinge disposed on a rear surface of the flexible display and deformable in response to bending deformation of the flexible display. The rolling hinge includes: a first rolling sheet including a first hinge hole; a second rolling sheet overlapping with the first rolling sheet, wherein the second rolling sheet includes a second hinge hole overlapping at least partially with the first hinge hole; and a first rivet configured to penetrate the first hinge hole and the second hinge hole.

Abstract: A mobile terminal comprises: a frame having a changing shape or size; a flexible display unit having one side facing outwards, and comprising a fixed portion coupled to the frame and a variable portion bent in a first direction; and a support frame located on the other side of the variable portion of the flexible display unit, wherein the support frame comprises: a plurality of rigid bars extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and arranged side by side in the first direction; and a flexible portion for combining the rigid bars, wherein the support frame bends well in response to the flexural deformation of the flexible display unit and at the same time stably supports the other side of the variable portion, so that the flexible display unit may be stably deformed according to the deformation of the mobile terminal.
