Disclosed are a mobile terminal and a method for controlling the same. The mobile terminal includes a master device and a slave device detachably mounted on the master device. The master device includes a housing, a bracket, a master controller and a switch assembly. The housing is provided with a groove to receive the bracket. The bracket can be rotated into or out of the groove relative to the housing. The switch assembly is arranged on the housing and directly faces the groove. When the bracket is rotated out of the groove relative to the housing and the rotation angle thereof meets a first angle, the switch assembly generates a first signal and sends it to the master controller. The master controller controls, according to the first signal, at least one component of the master device to be switched to a first usage state.

An electronic device includes a foldable housing including a hinge structure, a first housing structure including a first surface facing a first direction and a second surface facing a second direction opposite to the first direction, a second housing structure including a third surface facing a third direction and a fourth surface facing a fourth direction opposite to the third direction, and folded with respect to the first housing structure about the hinge structure, a wireless communication circuitry disposed inside the first housing structure or the second housing structure, a sensor disposed inside the first housing structure or the second housing structure, a grip sensor circuitry disposed outside the first housing structure or the second housing structure, a processor disposed inside the first housing structure or the second housing structure, and a memory operatively connected with the processor.

A remote-control includes a remote-control body, a first antenna, and a second antenna. The remote-control body includes a control device for a user to input a remote-control command. The first antenna and the second antenna are provided at a top side of the remote-control body and rotatably connected to the remote-control body to be extended in a use state or folded in a contracted state. The first antenna and the second antenna rotate to a position pointing to the user in the use state, and the first antenna and the second antenna are configured to be stacked and arranged parallel to each other in the contracted state.

An electronic device has a structure in which two portions between which a bent portion of a display panel is positioned are each fixed to a housing. The electronic device takes two forms of a form in which the display panel is opened and a form in which the display panel is folded in three. The electronic device includes a mechanism for sliding two housings parallel to each other. The display panel is changed in shape so that a portion where a display surface of the display panel is convexly curved and a portion where the display surface of the display panel is concavely curved in the folded state move in directions parallel and opposite to each other. At this time, the two portions of the display panel which are supported by the housings are slid while their display surfaces maintain a state parallel to each other.

The present invention relates to a foldable mobile terminal characterized by comprising: a foldable body; a flexible display panel which is provided on one surface of the body and folds together with the body; and a protective cover covering the flexible display panel. The protective cover comprises a first cover covering a foldable first area in the flexible display panel, and a second cover covering second covers provided on both sides of the first area in the flexible display panel. The second cover is made of a material which is different from the material of the first cover, and has a higher rigidity than the first cover.

A mobile terminal includes a main unit, a first sub unit provided with a touch screen, and a second sub unit. The first and second sub units are communicatively connected to the main unit. The first surface has a bracket groove recessed therefrom. The main unit is provided with a bracket capable of rotating into or out of the bracket groove. When the bracket is rotated out of the bracket groove, the first sub unit is mountable to the first surface, the second sub unit is capable of detachably leaning against the bracket, and a first angle between a touch surface of the touch screen and a display surface of the second sub unit is greater than 90°. When the bracket is rotated into the bracket groove, the first sub unit is mountable to the first surface, and the second sub unit is detachably mountable to the second surface.

An exemplary process generally involves forming a cover for a door hardware apparatus comprising a body. Forming the cover generally includes forming a substrate of a non-metallic material such that at least a portion of the substrate conforms to at least a portion of the body, and forming an outer layer on at least a portion of the substrate, the outer layer including a metallic material.

A display device includes a display panel which includes a first area, a second area that is folded and unfolded, and a third area sequentially disposed in a first direction, a barrier layer which is disposed below the display panel and includes at least one opening overlapping the second area, a first lower plate which is disposed below the barrier layer and overlaps the first area and a portion of the second area, and a second lower plate which is disposed below the barrier layer and overlaps the third area and another portion of the second area. A width of the at least one opening in the first direction may be less than a distance between the first lower plate and the second lower plate in the first direction.

Disclosed are a mobile terminal and a method for controlling the same. The mobile terminal includes a master device and a slave device detachably mounted on the master device. The master device includes a housing, a bracket, a master controller and a switch assembly. The housing is provided with a groove to receive the bracket. The bracket can be rotated into or out of the groove relative to the housing. The switch assembly is arranged on the housing and directly faces the groove. When the bracket is rotated out of the groove relative to the housing and the rotation angle thereof meets a first angle, the switch assembly generates a first signal and sends it to the master controller. The master controller controls, according to the first signal, at least one component of the master device to be switched to a first usage state.

A sectioned tablet smartphone device that is bendable for use as a wearable for carrying around or hands-free applications; the device is comprised of a plurality of short body sections linked by bendable hinges that are integrated to device casing, a bendable and slidable front touchscreen display connected to an extension stored in a rotating end scroll, and a detachable strap on casing backside as a protective cover when device is in tablet mode and as a wristband when device is in wearable mode.
