In an embodiment, an electronic device may include a housing including a first housing structure and a second housing structure that are rotatably connected to each other by a hinge structure; a flexible display including a first area, a second area, and a third area; and a first plate disposed between the housing and the flexible display. The first plate may include a first planar portion facing the first area, a second planar portion facing the second area, and a bendable portion. The first plate may further include at least one opening structure formed at a designated position on the outer sides S of at least one of the first planar portion and the second planar portion to be at least partially stretchable or compressible.

Disclosed are a foldable screen and a terminal device, which relate to the technical field of flexible foldable screens. The foldable screen comprises a screen body and right-angle folding hinges; the right-angle folding hinges are arranged along middle lines and one diagonal of the screen body; and the screen body has a fully unfolded state, and the screen body is capable of being folded by means of the right-angle folding hinge, such that the screen body is selectively folded to form a first folded state or a second folded state. In the first folded state, a single-sided display area of the screen body is a half of an area of the screen body in the fully unfolded state; and in the second folded state, the single-sided display area of the screen body is a quarter of the area of the screen body in the fully unfolded state.

The present disclosure provides a mobile terminal comprising: a frame which is expanded in a first direction or is contracted in a second direction which is a reverse direction of the first direction; a display unit which is provided on one surface of the frame and includes: a screen expanded or contracted in correspondence to the expansion or contraction of the frame; a camera for obtaining an image corresponding to a specific angle of view; and a control unit for controlling, when the screen is expanded in the first direction, the display unit to output an image which continues in the first direction, on the expanded screen.

A display device includes a housing having a display window, a flexible screen assembled in the housing and including a display area and a light-transmissive area, and an optical component disposed in the housing. The display device provides the optical component under the flexible screen and enables the flexible screen to be slidable with respect to the display window, so that the display device switches between a first state and a second state, which only protects the optical component, but also enables a full-screen display in the first state (a non-camera state).

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing slidably coupled to the first housing, a display of which at least a part is fixed to the second housing so that an information display region, which is a part of the electronic device visible on the outside, increases or decreases according to the sliding of the second housing, and a support member including a bendable structure, supporting at least a part of the display, and moving according to the sliding of the second housing, wherein, the information display region increases if the second housing slides in a first direction at a reference position at which the end of the second housing and the end of the first housing are substantially aligned, and the information display region decreases if the second housing slides in a second direction opposite to the first direction at the reference position.

In one or more embodiments disclosed herein, an electronic device may include a display device operable to project an image, a front cover substrate positioned over the display device and including a transparent material, and a protective coating disposed on at least a portion of the non-display area of the front cover substrate. The front cover substrate may include a display area over the display device and a non-display area around at least the perimeter of the front cover substrate. The protective coating may include an inorganic material. The protective coating may not be positioned over the display area.

A phone appliance and method of use are provided where the phone appliance can be used to make VoIP communications calls. In a preferred embodiment, the phone appliance includes an RF connection for connecting to a computer or other computing device for facilitating the placement of the VoIP communications calls. The phone appliance further includes a display or portal for depicting advertisements provided by various advertisers. The advertisements provided can be used to defray all or part of the cost associated with making VoIP communications calls. The portal can also be used to communicate with businesses for ordering products, such as ordering a pizza, and to perform various services, such as purchasing stocks. In an exemplary system, the phone appliance is used to transmit to a control center information related to the user of the phone appliance, such as interests and buying habits, and queries for receiving additional information for various advertised products and services. The control center transmits the queries to the appropriate vendors for providing the user with additional information. Other functions and features are provided to the phone appliance, such as being able to download e-mail messages stored within or received by the computer.

A system establishes an agent communication with a customer. An agent computer with a first processor and a first memory receives a batch notification identifying a batch of one or more customer records in the agent computer, for communication in the near future. The one or more customer records is associated with one or more customers. A second computer with a second processor and a second memory provides the batch notification identifying the batch of one or more customer records in the agent computer. The system connects the agent with the customer associated with a customer record selected from the batch by the agent.

Systems and methods are described herein for a computer-based communication application that displays, along with an incoming call notification, content specific to the parties involved. The application identifies electronic records of events attended by the users, and retrieves content specific to those records. For example, the application may identify electronic mail or meeting notifications sent between the users and concerning a particular subject matter. Images related to that subject matter are then retrieved and displayed during calls between those users. Users are thus presented with customized and personalized content specific to the subject matter of each call, thus helping them better recognize callers and more readily engage with the call.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a flexible display including a first display area and a second display area that is transparent, a camera module including a first camera module and a second camera module, and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor may be configured to execute a camera module application in a first state in which the second display area covers the first camera module, and when properties of a first transparent region are changed by adjusting an electrical signal with respect to the first transparent region of the second display area which abuts the first camera module, display an image received from the first camera module on a second transparent region of the first display area or a second transparent region of the second display area by reflecting the changed properties of the first transparent region for the image.
