ROLLABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING GEAR ASSEMBLY
An electronic device may include a housing including a first housing and a second housing configured to receive at least a portion of the first housing and move with respect to the first housing, a display configured to be extended based on a slide of the first housing, a motor disposed in the housing, a gear assembly configured to move the first housing and including a first gear connected to the motor and a second gear configured to mesh with the first gear, at least one sensor disposed in the housing and configured to detect a driving state of at least a portion of the gear assembly, and at least one processor operatively connected with the motor and the at least one sensor. The at least one processor may sense, through the at least one sensor, a signal related to the driving state of at least the portion of the gear assembly while at least one of the first gear or the second gear is driven and identify whether at least one of the first gear or the second gear is deformed based on the sensed signal.
Electronic device including rollable display
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a rollable display. The electronic device may include a main bracket configured to support the first portion of the rollable display, a roller member disposed in the first direction from the main bracket and arranged in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction, at least one folding support member disposed between the main bracket and the roller member and configured to support the second portion of the rollable display, a circuit board disposed to overlap at least a portion of the main bracket, at least one electronic component disposed adjacent to the roller member, and a FPCB configured to electrically connecting the main circuit board and the electronic component, wherein the FPCB is disposed to pass through the folding support member and extends from a portion of the circuit board to a portion of the electronic component.
MOBILE TERMINAL WITH SLIDING SHELLS
A portable, electronic device configured to transform between a smartphone usage mode and a keyboard-based usage mode. The device includes (i) a base section and (ii) a top section that includes a touchscreen display that sits over the base section when the device is in the smartphone mode. A sliding carriage system enables the top section to both (i) slide back over the base section, moving parallel to a top surface of the base section, and then fully expose the keyboard, and (ii) then pivot so that the display is at a conventional reading angle to the keyboard.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING ELECTRONIC COMPONENT ARRANGEMENT STRUCTURE
According to various embodiments, an electronic device comprises: a first housing including a first space formed through a first side member comprising a first side, a second side extending in a direction perpendicular to the first side, and a third side extending from the second side in parallel with the first side; a second housing slidably coupled to the first housing along a first direction and comprising a second space formed through a second side member; a bendable support connected to the first housing, is, in a slide-in state, at least partially accommodated into the second space, and in a slide-out state, forms a side at least partially coplanar with the first housing; a flexible display supported through the first housing and the bendable support; at least one electronic component disposed in the second space and in communication with an external environment through a first opening formed in at least a portion of the second side member in the slide-in state; and a bendable electrical connection member configured to connect the electronic component to the first space, wherein in the slide-in state, at least a portion of the first side and the third side are accommodated in the second space so as not to be visible from the outside, and the at least one electronic component may be disposed at a position not interfered with by the first side and/or the second side in the slide-in state.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SENSING STRUCTURE
Disclosed is an electronic device comprising: a first housing; a second housing coupled to the first housing and configured to be slidable a specified reciprocating distance; a bendable support which forms the same plane according to retracted/expanded states; a flexible display; a sensing member; and a conductive member which is bendable such that the contact of the conductive member with the sensing member can be changed according to the sliding operation of the second housing.
Display apparatus
A display includes a display, a stand, and a connecting member arranged between the display and the stand. The connecting member guides the display to transition between a first position in which the display is in a first orientation, a second position in which the display moves in a vertical direction relative to the stand, and a third position in which the display is rotated to a second orientation.
Mobile terminal including a body including a first frame and a second frame and control method therefor
A mobile terminal and a control method therefor are disclosed. The mobile terminal includes a body, an input unit configured to sense user input, a display coupled to the body to vary a display region viewed from a front of the body according to switching between an enlarged display mode and a reduced display mode, and a controller. The controller controls output of at least one application on the display in the enlarged display mode, controls output of an editing screen upon receiving a signal for switching to the reduced display mode, and controls switching to the reduced display mode based on a result of the editing screen.
CONTROL OF AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING DISPLAY AND KEYBOARD MOVEABLE RELATIVE TO THE DISPLAY
A method of controlling an electronic device having a display moveable relative to a keyboard, between a first position in which the keyboard is exposed for use and a second position in which the keyboard is not exposed. The method includes, in response to detecting initiation of control of a position of an adjustable setting within a range, entering a control mode at the electronic device, and, in response to detecting movement of the display relative to the keyboard of the electronic device, adjusting the position of the adjustable setting within the range.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY HAVING EXPANDABLE DISPLAY AREA
The disclosure discloses an electronic device including a flexible display having an expandable display area. The disclosed electronic device may include: a housing including a first cover disposed to face a first direction, a second cover disposed to face a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a side member enclosing at least part of a space between the first and second covers; a slider to be inserted or withdrawn by being disposed to at least part of an area of the first cover of the housing; a flexible display disposed in the slider such that at least part thereof is exposed, and disposed to allow a display area to be expanded according to the withdrawing of the slider and allow the expanded display area to be hidden inside the housing; and a support body mounted closely in contact on a bottom face of the flexible display, supporting the expanded display area as a prop when the slider is withdrawn, and disposed to be housed inside the housing together with the expanded display area when the slider is inserted.
FLEXIBLE SCREEN MOBILE TERMINAL
A flexible screen mobile terminal includes: a first body, a second body, a flexible screen, and a screen support, where the screen support is configured to fix the flexible screen, and enable the flexible screen to be movably connected to at least one of the first body and the second body. The terminal provided by the present disclosure may realize dual requirements for a large-size screen and a small-volume product.
