Foldable mobile device
An embodiment of the disclosure involves a foldable mobile device. The foldable mobile device includes a housing having a first portion and a second portion foldable around a folding axis of the housing to allow a folded state of the device; an antenna operatively assembled to the housing; and a display mounted on a front side of the first portion and a front side of the second portion. The first portion has a first plate configured on a back side of the first portion opposite to the front side of the first portion, a contacting structure defined on the first plate. The second portion has a second plate configured on a back side of the second portion opposite to the front side of the second portion. When the mobile device operates is folded, the first plate and the second plate are conductively coupled with each other via the contacting structure.

Provided are a foldable back plate, a method of manufacturing the same and a foldable display device comprising the same.
Foldable electronic device including display protection structure
An electronic device is provided, which includes a first housing; a second housing; a hinge structure connecting the first housing and the second housing in a foldable manner; a flexible display that includes a first region facing the first housing, a second region facing the second housing, and a folding region facing the hinge structure; a protective cap including a protrusion that projects outward from the hinge structure; and a blocking member that is disposed between the flexible display and the protective cap to be supported by the protrusion in the folding region and is made of a material having elasticity.
Electronic device and method for voice recording in electronic device
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing structure including a first microphone, a second housing structure including a second microphone and foldably coupled to the first housing structure, a sensor module disposed in the first housing structure or the second housing structure, and a processor in the first housing structure or the second housing structure, operationally connected with the first microphone, the second microphone, and the sensor module, the processor configured to receive a folding event related to the first housing structure and the second housing structure through the sensor module while a specific voice recording mode is performed, identify folding state information in response to receiving the folding event, identify a recording function configuration related to the first microphone and the second microphone, based on the folding state information and the specific voice recording mode, and perform recording by applying the recording function configuration.
DISPLAY DEVICE
A display device includes: a display module having a first non-foldable area, a foldable area, and a second non-foldable area, which are arranged in a first direction in a unfolded state; and a first support layer disposed under the display module and having a lattice pattern including a plurality of first holes overlapping the foldable area, wherein the first holes are arranged in the first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction, and wherein: each of the first holes has a first width in the second direction and a second width in the first direction, the first width is in a range from about 2,000 μm to about 9,000 μm, and the second width is in a range from about 100 μm to about 250 μm.
Enhancing a Virtual Communication with a Mobile Communication Device
In an example implementation, a mobile communication device assembly includes a housing having an opening configured and sized to support a display screen of a mobile communication device. A controller is mounted in the housing and configured to communicably couple to the mobile communication device. An angular adjustment assembly is mounted in the housing and including a first motor electrically coupled to the controller; a first gear assembly driveably coupled to the first motor; and a support member coupled to the first gear assembly and extendable, with the first gear assembly, from a first position flush with the housing to a second position angularly extended from the housing.
DISPLAY DEVICE
A display device including: a first elastic member, a display portion disposed on the first elastic member; and a sensing material layer disposed between the first elastic member and the display portion, wherein the display portion including a first island pattern, a second island pattern, and a slit, wherein the first island pattern and the second island pattern are spaced apart from each other with the slit therebetween, and each of the first island pattern and the second island pattern includes a pixel, and wherein the sensing material layer overlaps the slit.
Method for Quickly Entering Application and Electronic Device Having Foldable Screen
A method for quickly entering an application includes detecting a first operation, where the first operation is used to change the electronic device from the folded form to an unfolded form, wherein when the electronic device is in the unfolded form, the included angle between the first region and the second region is greater than a second preset angle, and wherein the second preset angle is greater than the first preset angle, and displaying display interfaces of one or more preset applications in the first region, the second region, and/or the third region in response to the first operation. In the method, when the electronic device changes from the folded form to the unfolded form, a preset application may be quickly entered.
HINGE ASSEMBLY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
An electronic device includes a display, and a hinge assembly foldable together with the display and corresponding to a folding area of the display. The hinge assembly includes a hinge bracket defining first and second hinge axes, first and second rotators connected to the hinge bracket and respectively rotatable about the first and second hinge axes, first and second sliders connected to the hinge bracket, respectively slidable relative to the hinge bracket in a direction parallel with the hinge axes, and spaced apart from each other in the direction, and an elastic member between the first and second sliders and providing an elastic force in the direction. The first and second rotators respectively include first and second helical structures having a helical shape with the first and second hinge axes as a center, and are each connected to the first and second sliders through the first and second helical structures.
