  • Patent number: 9591109
    Abstract: There is disclosed a mobile terminal including a curvedly flexible display unit, a case having a case to which the display unit is coupled, wherein the case includes a first case, a second case coupled to the first case to rotate with respect to the first case in a preset range of angles, a hinge shaft provided in the first case, a hinge housing provided in the second case, the hinge housing in which the hinge shaft is disposed, with a cylindrical shape, and a stopper for adjusting a rotation angle between the first case and the second case. The curvature of the mobile terminal may be variable and that it may be convenient to hand-carry the mobile terminal. In addition, the user can change the curvature he or she can feel comfortable. Even when a force is applied to an end of the mobile terminal, the damage on the mobile terminal can be prevented.
