摘要： A mobile terminal includes a first frame having a first side-face, a second frame moveable in a first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction from the first frame, and having a second side-face facing the first side-face, and a slide bar positioned between the first side-face and the second side-face, and extending in the first direction, wherein the second frame moves in the first direction to convert a state of the mobile terminal from a first state in which the first frame and the second frame are overlapped with each other to a second state, and wherein the second frame moves in the second direction to convert the state from the second state to the first state. The mobile terminal reduces friction between the first and second frames through a simple slide structure, so that the state conversion between the first and second states is easy.

摘要： Disclosed herein is a mobile terminal switchable from a first state to a second state by extending in the first direction, including a first frame, a second frame movable from the first frame in the first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction, a slide frame movable in the first direction or the second direction with respect to the second frame, and a support link having one end hinged to the first frame and an opposite end hinged to the second frame, the support link having a variable length. The mobile terminal may maintain a flat state regardless of change in the state of the mobile terminal by preventing the front surface from being separated or sagging.

摘要： In order to achieve the above or other objectives, a mobile terminal according to an aspect of the present invention comprises, a first body; a second body rotatably connected to a first direction side of the first body; a hinge part which is placed between the first body and the second body so as to rotatably connect the second body to the first body; and a flexible display unit, one side of which is placed on one surface of the first body and the other side of which is placed on one surface of the second body, wherein the flexible display unit is bent according to a change in the angle of the hinge part. The mobile terminal has an advantage in that the flexible display unit is slidably coupled to at least one of the bodies so as to be slidingly moved according to a rotation of the hinge part, and thus no folding occurs in the surface of the flexible display unit placed on the hinge part.
