A foldable electronic device is provided. The foldable electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing, a third housing, a first folding unit configured to allow the first and second housings to be folded in a first folding manner, a second folding unit configured to allow the second and third housings to be folded in a second folding manner, a flexible display disposed across the first to third housings, and a metal plate disposed to face the flexible display to support the folding operation of the flexible display, and including a first folding area in which a first pattern is disposed and a second folding area in which a second pattern different from the first pattern is disposed.

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.

Problem

A first chassis and a second chassis are pivotably coupled with a simple structure in a foldable display device.

Solution means

A mobile terminal (1) includes a first chassis (3) and a second chassis (5). A pivot coupling portion (9) couples the first chassis (3) and the second chassis (5) to allow an open state and a closed state. The first chassis (3) and the second chassis (5) are open to enter a planar state in the open state. The first chassis (3) and the second chassis (5) are closed to enter a state of being bent inward in the closed state. A flexible display (7) is arranged to cover main surfaces of the first chassis (3) and the second chassis (5). A support member (11) is arranged between the first chassis (3) and the second chassis (5). The support member (11) has a flat support surface (13a) that supports the flexible display (7) when the flexible display (7) is in the open state. The display (7) includes adhesive portions (7a, 7b) and a non-adhesive portion (7c). The adhesive portions (7a, 7b) are adhered to the first chassis (3) and the second chassis (5). The non-adhesive portion (7c) is separable from the flat support surface (13a) of the support member (11) between the first chassis (3) and the second chassis (5).
