A mobile terminal according to an embodiment includes a display panel having flexibility, and a support plate configured to support the display panel and to include a curved edge, at least a part of which is surrounded by the display panel. The display panel includes a base substrate, a light-emitting layer provided on the base substrate and configured to include a light-emitting element, a thin-film encapsulation layer configured to seal the light-emitting element, and a thin-film transistor (TFT) film configured to supply a signal to the light-emitting element, a polarizing film provided on the light-emitting layer, and a protective film provided on the polarizing film. The TFT film is extended from the base substrate at the curved edge to cover an edge of the base substrate.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a mobile terminal and a control method therefor, the mobile terminal enabling a user to conveniently determine execution screens of two or more applications to be displayed in a multitasking manner and a layout for the screens. According to an aspect of the present invention, provided is a mobile terminal comprising: a body; a display coupled to the body such that a display area viewed from the front of the body can be changed according to the switching between an extended display mode and a contracted display mode; and a control unit for making a control to display together recently used application information and display layout information for multitasking.

An electronic apparatus includes a first body, a second body, a connection device, a first driving device, a flexible body, and an elastic member. The second body forms an accommodation chamber with the first body. The second body includes an opening. The connection device is connected to the first body and the second body. The second body moves relative to the first body through the connection device. The first driving device is configured to drive the second body to move relative to the first body through the connection device. The flexible body is attached to a first surface of the first body and a second surface of the second body. The first surface and the second surface are located on a same side of the electronic apparatus. The elastic member is arranged in the accommodation chamber. A first end of the flexible body is fixedly connected to the first body.

According to various example embodiments, a foldable electronic device configured to move a flexible printed circuit board along a support plate during an unfolding operation may include: a hinge configured to support a flexible printed circuit board, wherein the hinge may include: a hinge body, a support plate rotatably connected to the hinge body, a slider slidable along the support plate and configured to support the flexible printed circuit board, and a connecting part configured to connect the support plate and a connecting plate.

An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a main body housing, a pop-up module extendable and retractable from the main body housing, and a processor. The processor implements the method, including identifying, by at least one processor, a state where a pop-up module of the electronic device is extended to an external environment of the electronic device, based on receiving a first control signal, maintaining extension of the pop-up, based on receiving a second control signal, retracting the pop-up module into the electronic device, and based on receiving a third control signal indicating that the electronic device is in free fall, retracting the pop-up module into the electronic device.

In a mobile terminal of the present disclosure, the open portion of an extended part is covered when a state is changed to a second state so that the inside of the mobile terminal can be protected, the mobile terminal comprising: a first frame; a second frame moved in a first direction from the first frame so as to change from a first state to the second state a central bracket rotatably coupled to one side of the first frame or the second frame; and a spiral spring having an inner end portion fixed to the central bracket, and an outer end portion fixed to the other side of the first frame or the second frame, wherein the spiral spring is spirally wound in the first state and unwound in the second state.

A mobile terminal and a control method therefor are disclosed. The mobile terminal includes a body, 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, an input unit configured to sense user input, and a controller. The controller controls switching of the display to the enlarged display mode according to first input.

A functional assembly and an electronic device including the functional assembly are provided. The functional assembly includes a functional module, a motor, and a linking mechanism. The functional module has a first shaft. The motor has a second shaft and is configured to drive the second shaft to rotate. The linking mechanism is connected with the first shaft and the second shaft such that the first shaft and the second shaft are linking-up with each other. As a result, the thickness of the electronic device near the frame is not limited by the size of the motor, which further reduces the thickness of the electronic device.

A mobile terminal includes a first body including a first surface; a second body including a second surface; a third body including a third surface; and a flexible screen coupled to the first surface of the first body, the second face of the second body and the third surface of the third body and including a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the flexible screen is movable relative to the second surface of the second body, and the second end of the flexible screen is movable relative to the third surface of the third body.

A mobile terminal and a control method therefor are disclosed. The mobile terminal includes a body, an input unit configured to receive user input, a display coupled to the body to vary a display region viewed from a front face 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, and controls, upon receiving an event, output of an application corresponding to the event in a first region based on a signal for confirming the received event. The first region is an event application region when a preset application is being output in the enlarged display mode and is a main region of the enlarged display mode when the preset application is not being output in the enlarged display mode.
