Mobile terminal

摘要

There is disclosed a mobile terminal including a curvedly flexible display unit, a case having a case to which the display unit is coupled, wherein the case includes a first case, a second case coupled to the first case to rotate with respect to the first case in a preset range of angles, a hinge shaft provided in the first case, a hinge housing provided in the second case, the hinge housing in which the hinge shaft is disposed, with a cylindrical shape, and a stopper for adjusting a rotation angle between the first case and the second case. The curvature of the mobile terminal may be variable and that it may be convenient to hand-carry the mobile terminal. In addition, the user can change the curvature he or she can feel comfortable. Even when a force is applied to an end of the mobile terminal, the damage on the mobile terminal can be prevented.

1. A mobile terminal comprising:
a case; and a flexible display unit to couple to the case; wherein the case includes:
a first case;a second case to couple to the first case, and the second case to rotate with respect to the first case within a preset range of angles, wherein a border surface of the first case and a border surface of the second case face each other;a hinge shaft at the first case;a hinge housing at the second case, a portion of the hinge shaft to be provided in the hinge housing;a stopper to restrict a rotational angle between the first case and the second case,wherein the stopper includes:
an angle restricting groove recessed from the border surface of the first case;a stopping projection to project from the border surface of the second case to the angle restricting groove, and at least a portion of the stopping projection to be provided at the angle restricting groove;a guide projection at a lateral surface of the stopping projection; anda guide groove at a lateral surface of the angle restricting groove provided at the second case, a portion of the guide projection to be provided at the guide groove,the stopping projection includes a taper-shaped stopping projection getting smaller than the angle restricting groove,wherein a plurality of guide projections and a plurality of guide grooves are provided along a longitudinal direction of the case, andthe guide projections are stopped by an end of the guide groove.
