Abstract: A mobile terminal includes a first frame having a first side-face, a second frame moveable in a first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction from the first frame, and having a second side-face facing the first side-face, and a slide bar positioned between the first side-face and the second side-face, and extending in the first direction, wherein the second frame moves in the first direction to convert a state of the mobile terminal from a first state in which the first frame and the second frame are overlapped with each other to a second state, and wherein the second frame moves in the second direction to convert the state from the second state to the first state. The mobile terminal reduces friction between the first and second frames through a simple slide structure, so that the state conversion between the first and second states is easy.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a mobile terminal including a first frame, a second frame, a slide frame movable with respect to the second frame in a first direction or a second direction, a flexible display including a third region bent to surround the second frame, and a rolling plate attached to a rear of the flexible display. The second frame includes a side portion at an end thereof facing in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction, and a slide rail formed on the side portion. The rolling plate includes a plurality of support bars extending in the third direction and arranged in the first direction, and a slide hook protruding from an end of each of the support bars and movably inserted into the slide rail. The terminal may maintain the display in a flat state by preventing the display from being separated when the second frame is moved.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a mobile terminal switchable from a first state to a second state by extending in the first direction, including a first frame, a second frame movable from the first frame in the first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction, a slide frame movable in the first direction or the second direction with respect to the second frame, and a support link having one end hinged to the first frame and an opposite end hinged to the second frame, the support link having a variable length. The mobile terminal may maintain a flat state regardless of change in the state of the mobile terminal by preventing the front surface from being separated or sagging.
