VERTICAL SLIDE APARATUS WITH ROTATIONAL SCREEN FOR SMART PHONES, PDAS, TABLETS AND THE LIKE
A smart phone including a body layer of a smart phone that houses a physical QWERTY keyboard; and a touchscreen layer of the smart phone housing a touchscreen and configured above the body layer. The touchscreen layer slides over the body layer to reveal the physical QWERTY keyboard. The touchscreen layer then rotates over the body layer to form a T-shape with the body layer to allow viewing of and interacting with content in a widescreen format on the touchscreen, while also allowing use of the physical QWERTY keyboard.
Portable Electronic Device
A portable electronic device includes first and second parts, each having a front face, a back face, two sides, and two ends. A movable attachment attaches said first and second parts to each other with the front face of the second part against the back face of said first part. It allows a relative sliding movement between said first and second parts to a position in which an exposable portion of the front face of the second part along one of said sides of the second part becomes visible from beneath the corresponding side of the first part. A camera in said second part is located in a center region of said exposable portion between the two ends of the second part, with its viewing direction directed out of said front face of the second part.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE SAME
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing, a flexible display, a memory storing executable instructions, and at least one processor, wherein the instructions are configured to, when executed, enable the at least one processor to identify a first event triggering a first display operation for displaying an image based on a rotation of the electronic device, identify a second event triggering a second display operation for displaying an image based on a change in an area of the flexible display, and sequentially change a display attribute of an image displayed on the flexible display.
Mobile terminal
A mobile terminal including a first housing defining an accommodation space therein and having an opening defined therein in communication with the outside; a camera configured to obtain image information; and a driving unit configured to rotationally drive the camera to rotate and be inserted inside the first housing through the opening and to face a first face of the mobile terminal, and rotationally drive the camera to rotate and be withdrawn outside the first housing through the opening and to face a second face of the mobile terminal.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING CAMERA POP-UP STRUCTURE
An electronic device according to certain embodiments, comprises: a housing; and a camera pop-up structure which is coupled to the housing, at least a part of which slides with respect to the housing between a first position accommodated inside the housing and a second position protruding from the housing, wherein the camera pop-up structure comprises: a guide member fixedly coupled to the inside of the housing; a slide member configured to slide with respect to the guide member by a first section and a second section extending from the first section in one direction or a reverse direction; and a camera module linked with the slide member moving within the first section so as to slide between the first position accommodated inside the housing and the second position protruding from the housing, and linked with the slide member sliding within the second section causing rotation towards a rear side or a front side of the housing.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR INCREASING ANTENNA EFFICIENCY
Certain embodiments of the disclosure relate to a device and a method for increasing the efficiency of an antenna of an electronic device that includes a rollable display. The electronic device may include: a processor; a first housing, in which the processor is disposed, including a first conductive portion; a second housing configured to slide in a first direction from the first housing and including a second conductive portion; a rollable display, at least a portion of which is exposed in a slide-out manner according to movement of the second housing; and a variable element disposed in the second housing and is electrically connected to the second conductive portion. The processor may adjust an electrical characteristic of the variable element in response to sliding of the second housing. The disclosure may further include various other embodiments.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING SLIDING OPERATION
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing coupled to the first housing and that performs a sliding operation, a display, of which a size of a visual exposure area is changed in correspondence to the sliding operation of the second housing, a first variable magnetism member disposed at a first location of the first housing, and of which a magnetic force varies depending on a current or a voltage that is supplied thereto, a second variable magnetism member disposed at a second location of the first housing, and of which a magnetic force varies depending on a current or a voltage that is supplied thereto, a magnet member fixed to an inner surface of the second housing, and that moves between the first variable magnetism member and the second variable magnetism member during the sliding operation, and a processor operatively connected.
DISPLAY DEVICE
A display device includes a display module; a support plate; the support plate including support bars; an opening defined between the support bars adjacent to each other; and a first support portion and a second support portion spaced apart from each other, the support bars being disposed between the first support portion and the second support portion; a support film disposed between the display module and the support plate; and a foam layer disposed on at least one of a first upper surface and a first lower surface of the support film, the foam layer including a core layer having a first modulus and a first thickness; and a skin layer disposed on at least one of a second upper surface and a second lower surface of the core layer, having a second modulus greater than the first modulus, and having a second thickness smaller than the first thickness.
CAMERA ASSEMBLY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
A camera assembly and an electronic device are provided. The camera assembly includes a housing having a first sliding groove; a camera component provided inside the housing and slidable along the first sliding groove, wherein the camera component is configured to switch between a first state and a second state by the guide of the PUSH-PUSH component when receiving a press operation; and a press-type PUSH-PUSH component provided inside the housing, wherein both ends of the PUSH-PUSH component are connected to the housing and the camera component, respectively.
Connecting system of multi-section housing and electronic device provided with that connecting system
A connecting system of a multi-section housing of an electronic device comprising: shafts between first and second housing sections and between third and fourth housing sections of superposed first to fourth housing sections to enable one section to be rotated 180 degrees with respect to another section after sliding superposed housing sections apart; first hinges which connect end faces of the second and third housing sections to be able to be rotated; and second hinges which connect opposite side end faces of the first and fourth housing sections, wherein the shafts enable the second and third housing sections to be slid with respect to the first and fourth housing sections and, in the finished slid state, the first and second hinges enable the second and third housing sections and first and fourth housing sections to be rotated about the shafts while being opened to thereby form a single flat surface.
