Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic device technology, specifically to a mobile terminal. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of foldable mobile terminal (e.g., foldable phones) technology, its application scenarios and user experience have been significantly improved. However, most foldable phones still suffer from some technical bottlenecks in their folding function, the most prominent of which is the lack of a reliable physical locking mechanism. Although existing foldable phones achieve the folding display function through complex hinge structures, the lack of a physical locking device results in insufficient stability in the folded state. This can lead to the phone unexpectedly unfolding after folding, affecting not only the user experience but also potentially damaging the display. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a mobile terminal that can lock a foldable display screen using physical methods, thereby improving the stability of the mobile terminal in a folded state.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a mobile terminal, the mobile terminal including a main body, the mobile terminal including: a folding mechanism, wherein the main body includes a first main body and a second main body, the first main body being fixedly connected to the second main body through the folding mechanism; a first flexible display screen located on a first surface of the first main body and the second main body, the first surface of the first main body being folded and rotated toward the first surface of the second main body through the folding mechanism; a non-flexible display screen located on a second surface of the first main body away from the first flexible display screen, the first main body having a first magnetic module at the end near the non-flexible display screen and away from the folding mechanism; and a second flexible display screen located on the side of the second main body away from the folding mechanism, the second flexible display screen having a second magnetic module at the end away from the second main body, wherein after folding the first flexible display screen, the end of the second flexible display screen away from the second main body can be bent toward the end of the non-flexible display screen away from the folding mechanism, the first magnetic module of the first main body and the second magnetic module of the second flexible display screen cooperate to attract each other, so as to fix the second flexible display screen and the non-flexible display screen.

[0005] In an optional embodiment, the second flexible display screen further includes an under-display fingerprint module, which is used to close the adsorption between the first magnetic module and the second magnetic module after fingerprint recognition unlocking.

[0006] In an optional embodiment, a camera is also included, located on a second side of the second main body away from the first flexible display screen, wherein the second flexible display screen is used to display the image captured by the camera when the first side of the first main body and the first side of the second main body are on the same horizontal plane.

[0007] In an optional embodiment, when the second flexible display screen is bent, a preset distance is spaced between the bent portion of the second flexible display screen and the main body for placing the electronic pen.

[0008] In one alternative embodiment, the first main body includes a third magnetic module located on the side of the first main body away from the folding mechanism, for attaching the electronic pen.

[0009] In one optional embodiment, the second main body includes a fourth magnetic module, which is located on the side of the second main body away from the folding mechanism, and the third magnetic module and the fourth magnetic module are symmetrically arranged.

[0010] In one alternative embodiment, the length of the second flexible display screen in the longitudinal direction is less than the length of the second main body in the longitudinal direction.

[0011] In one optional embodiment, the first magnetic module is located at the center of the first main body at the end away from the folding mechanism, and the second magnetic module is located on the center line of the first magnetic module.

[0012] In one optional embodiment, the first magnetic attraction module includes a plurality of first sub-magnetic attraction modules, and the second magnetic attraction module includes a plurality of second sub-magnetic attraction modules. The arrangement of the plurality of first sub-magnetic attraction modules includes linear arrangement, matrix arrangement, circular arrangement, or staggered arrangement, and the arrangement of the plurality of second sub-magnetic attraction modules includes linear arrangement, matrix arrangement, circular arrangement, or staggered arrangement.

[0013] In one optional embodiment, the first flexible display screen includes a bending area and a first non-bending area and a second non-bending area located on both sides of the bending area, wherein after the first flexible display screen is folded, the bending area is U-shaped, and the first non-bending area and the second non-bending area are arranged opposite to each other.

[0014] This application provides a mobile terminal that achieves stable physical locking in a folded state through the cooperative attraction of a first magnetic module on a first main body and a second magnetic module on a second flexible display screen. This effectively prevents the mobile terminal from accidentally unfolding in a pocket or other environment, improving its reliability and durability in the folded state and enhancing the user experience. Simultaneously, the second flexible display screen is fixed to the non-flexible display screen via the magnetic modules (i.e., the first and second magnetic modules), further concealing the content on the folded first flexible display screen, reducing the risk of information exposure on the first flexible display screen, and optimizing privacy protection.

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] With the development of foldable mobile terminal technology (e.g., foldable phones), the display form factor of foldable mobile terminals is gradually showing a certain trend of homogenization. Taking foldable phones as an example, most current foldable phones adopt a design of an inward-folding display screen plus an outer screen. While this design satisfies users' dual needs for a large screen and portability to a certain extent, it also has some problems. For example, the inward-folding display screen cannot be completely hidden after folding, making it difficult to fully meet the need for privacy storage. During use, the content of the inner screen may be easily viewed by others, especially in public places, which undoubtedly brings inconvenience to users.

[0023] Furthermore, while existing foldable phones achieve foldable display functionality through complex hinge structures, their stability in the folded state is insufficient due to the lack of physical locking mechanisms. This design flaw makes the phone prone to accidental unfolding after folding, impacting the user experience to some extent. For example, when placing the phone in a pocket or backpack, accidental unfolding may interfere with other items or even cause the phone to slip out of the pocket. In addition, frequent accidental unfolding can damage the display. The screen is constantly stretched and compressed during folding and unfolding, and the lack of physical locking mechanisms makes it more susceptible to creases, cracks, and other problems, thus reducing the lifespan of the mobile device.

[0024] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a mobile terminal. Various non-limiting embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a mobile device in a folded state according to an exemplary embodiment of this application. The mobile device includes a folding mechanism 110, a first flexible display screen 120, a main body 130, a second flexible display screen 140, and a non-flexible display screen (e.g., Figure 2 The non-flexible display screen 220 shown), and the electronic pen 150, wherein the main body 130 includes a first main body 131 and a second main body 132, and the first flexible display screen 120 includes a bending area (i.e., Figure 1 The U-shaped area marked by the dashed box 121 and the first non-bending area 123 and the second non-bending area 122 located on both sides of the bending area respectively, the non-flexible display screen is located at the second surface (i.e., the upper surface) 133 of the first main body 131 in the direction shown in the figure.

[0026] The folding mechanism 110 may include a folding pivot, a multi-segment hinge structure, and a sliding folding mechanism, wherein the first main body 131 is fixedly connected to the second main body 132 through the folding mechanism 110. This connection method allows the first main body 131 to flexibly fold towards the second main body 132. The first main body 131 and the second main body 132 can be folded and rotated at multiple angles through the folding mechanism 110.

[0027] For example, when a user needs to fold and store the mobile terminal, the first main body 131 and the second main body 132 can be folded to 0°, making them fit tightly together to form a compact whole, which is easy to carry and store. During use, the user can unfold the mobile terminal to different angles as needed, such as 90°, for easy one-handed operation or watching videos; when unfolded to 180°, the mobile terminal can be laid completely flat, providing a larger screen field of view, suitable for multitasking, gaming, or web browsing. In addition, the folding mechanism 110 can also support some special folding angles, such as 45° or 135°, providing users with more flexible usage methods in different scenarios.

[0028] The first flexible display screen 120 is located on the first surface of the first main body 131 and the second main body 132. The first surface of the first main body 131 can be folded and rotated toward the first surface of the second main body 132 via the folding mechanism 110. That is, the first main body 131 can be folded toward the second main body 132 via the folding mechanism 110, thereby causing the first flexible display screen 120 located on the first surface of the first main body 131 and the second main body 132 to fold. Specifically, when the main body is folded, the first flexible display screen 120 located on the first surface of the first main body 131 and the second main body 132 will fold synchronously. When the first main body 131 bends toward the second main body 132, the state of the first flexible display screen 120 can change from an unfolded state to a folded state, where the unfolded state is, for example... Figure 3 The first main body 131 and the second main body 132 shown are on the same horizontal plane, that is, the first main body 131 and the second main body 132 are unfolded to 180°. Folded state, for example... Figure 1 The first main body 131 and the second main body 132 shown are folded, that is, the first main body 131 and the second main body 132 are folded to 0°.

[0029] The non-flexible display screen is located on the second side 133 of the first main body 131, away from the first flexible display screen 120. That is, the non-flexible display screen and the first flexible display screen are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the first main body 131. Furthermore, the first main body 131 has a first magnetic module 134 at the end closest to the non-flexible display screen and away from the folding mechanism 110. The first magnetic module 134 can be made of rare earth permanent magnet materials, such as neodymium iron boron, which have the characteristics of strong magnetic force, small size, and light weight, and can provide sufficient adsorption force.

[0030] It should be noted that non-flexible displays can include liquid crystal displays (LCDs), light-emitting diode displays (LEDs), organic light-emitting diode displays (OLEDs), and quantum dot displays (QLEDs), etc.

[0031] The second flexible display screen 140 can be a flexible, rollable, foldable display screen, located on the side of the second main body 132 away from the folding mechanism 110. The second flexible display screen 140 has a second magnetic module 141 at the end away from the second main body 132. After the first flexible display screen 120 is folded, the end of the second flexible display screen 140 away from the second main body 132 can be bent towards the end of the non-flexible display screen away from the folding mechanism 110. The first magnetic module 134 of the first main body 131 and the second magnetic module 141 of the second flexible display screen 140 cooperate to attract each other, thereby fixing the second flexible display screen 140 and the non-flexible display screen. It should be understood that the second flexible display screen 140 can be folded from one side of the mobile terminal to the other side. The first magnetic module 134 and the second magnetic module 141 can attract each other magnetically (i.e., magnetic physical screen locking), which can tightly fix the first main body 131 and the second main body 132 together in the folded state, preventing the device from accidentally unfolding in a pocket or bag. The second magnetic module 141 can be made of the same material as the first magnetic module 134, and also use rare earth permanent magnet materials such as neodymium iron boron.

[0032] It should be noted that the first magnetic module 134 and the second magnetic module 141 can be integrated with the control system of the mobile terminal to achieve automatic sensing function. For example, when the mobile terminal is folded to a certain angle, the magnetic module triggers the device to enter sleep mode, and when the mobile terminal is unfolded, the screen automatically lights up.

[0033] The first and second flexible displays can be flexible organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays. Flexible OLED displays can use polyimide as a flexible substrate. This material has excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance and optical properties, which can meet the high requirements of flexible displays. The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit the material of the flexible displays.

[0034] Therefore, this embodiment of the application achieves stable physical locking of the mobile terminal in a folded state through the cooperative attraction of the first magnetic module on the first main body and the second magnetic module on the second flexible display screen. This effectively prevents the mobile terminal from accidentally unfolding in a pocket or other environment, improving the reliability and durability of the mobile terminal in a folded state and enhancing the user experience. Simultaneously, the second flexible display screen is fixed to the non-flexible display screen via magnetic modules (i.e., the first and second magnetic modules), further concealing the content on the folded first flexible display screen, reducing the risk of information exposure on the first flexible display screen, and optimizing privacy protection.

[0035] In one embodiment of this application, the second flexible display screen further includes an under-display fingerprint module, which is used to close the adsorption between the first magnetic module and the second magnetic module after fingerprint recognition unlocking.

[0036] Specifically, see Figure 2 The under-display fingerprint module 210 is a technology that hides the fingerprint recognition sensor under the second flexible display screen 140, allowing users to unlock the device directly through the second flexible display screen 140. The under-display fingerprint module 210 can employ technologies such as optical fingerprint recognition, ultrasonic fingerprint recognition, or capacitive fingerprint recognition, and this application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0037] For example, when a user touches the designated recognition area of ​​the second flexible display screen 140, the under-display fingerprint module 210 under the second flexible display screen 140 can collect and compare fingerprint features, and send an unlock signal to the control chip of the mobile terminal after successful verification. This can be achieved by cutting off the electromagnetic module current or activating the anti-magnetic field device to disable the attraction between the first magnetic module 134 and the second magnetic module 141. After the attraction of the magnetic modules is disabled, the user can easily unfold the first main body 131 and the second main body 132, allowing the first flexible display screen 120 to... Figure 2 The folded state shown becomes Figure 3 The unfolded state shown.

[0038] It should be noted that, in addition to unlocking, the under-display fingerprint module can also be used for payment verification, application encryption, and other scenarios.

[0039] Therefore, this application embodiment optimizes the user's unlocking method by setting an under-display fingerprint module. Furthermore, the cooperation between the under-display fingerprint module and the magnetic module not only realizes the unlocking function of foldable mobile terminals (e.g., foldable phones), but also improves the security and user experience of mobile terminals, providing users with a more convenient and intelligent experience.

[0040] In one embodiment of this application, a camera is also included. The camera is located on the second side of the second main body away from the first flexible display screen. When the first side of the first main body and the first side of the second main body are on the same horizontal plane, the second flexible display screen is used to display the image captured by the camera.

[0041] Specifically, see Figure 4 The mobile terminal may also include a camera 410, wherein the number of cameras 410 can be one or more, for example... Figure 4 The diagram shows two cameras. Camera 410 is located on the second side of the second main body 132, away from the first flexible display screen, on the same side as the second flexible display screen 140, i.e., on the outside of the foldable mobile terminal. This allows camera 410 to conveniently take pictures even when the mobile terminal is folded. Camera 410 can be equipped with high resolution and multiple shooting modes, supporting high-definition photo and video recording.

[0042] In one embodiment, when the first surface of the first main body 131 and the first surface of the second main body 132 are on the same horizontal plane, that is, when the mobile terminal is in the unfolded state, the second flexible display screen 140 can be used to display the image captured by the camera 410. For example, the second flexible display screen 140 can be used for the selfie viewfinder display of the camera 410.

[0043] Therefore, this embodiment of the application utilizes a second flexible display screen to display the image captured by the camera, allowing users to more intuitively view the shooting effect while taking pictures. Furthermore, users can also use the high-resolution rear camera to take pictures (e.g., selfies) to obtain clearer photos (e.g., selfie photos) than with the front camera.

[0044] In one embodiment of this application, when the second flexible display screen is bent, a preset distance is spaced between the bent portion of the second flexible display screen and the main body for placing an electronic pen.

[0045] Specifically, see Figure 1 When the second flexible display screen 140 is in a folded state, the cross-section of the bent portion of the second flexible display screen 140 is semi-circular. This design effectively reduces the stress on the screen during folding and prevents damage to the screen due to excessive bending. Furthermore, the preset distance between the bent portion and the main body 130 in the cross-section can accommodate an electronic pen; that is, the electronic pen can pass through the space between the bent portion and the main body 130 and be placed within that space. For example, see... Figure 5 The electronic pen 150 passes through the space between the bent part and the main body 130, and is adjacent to the main body 130.

[0046] In one embodiment, the first main body 131 includes a third magnetic module 135 located on the side of the first main body 131 away from the folding mechanism 110, for attaching an electronic pen. The second main body 132 includes a fourth magnetic module 136 located on the side of the second main body 132 away from the folding mechanism 110, and the third magnetic module 135 and the fourth magnetic module 136 are symmetrically arranged.

[0047] The preset distance can be precisely designed according to the size and shape of the electronic pen to ensure that the electronic pen can be stably placed in the space between the bent part and the main body.

[0048] An electronic pen is an input tool used in conjunction with mobile terminals (such as tablets, smartphones, and electronic whiteboards). It interacts with the touchscreen or dedicated sensing area of ​​the mobile terminal through specific technologies to perform functions such as writing, drawing, and annotation. Electronic pens can be capacitive, electromagnetic, or Bluetooth pens, among others.

[0049] Therefore, the embodiments of this application provide an area for accommodating the electronic pen, allowing users to conveniently place the electronic pen inside the device when writing, drawing, or operating, thus preventing its loss. Furthermore, by reserving space for the electronic pen, users do not need to carry an additional pen case or other storage tools, improving the device's portability and ease of use.

[0050] In one embodiment of this application, the first main body includes a third magnetic module, which is located on the side of the first main body away from the folding mechanism and is used to attract the electronic pen.

[0051] Specifically, see Figure 1 The first main body 131 includes a third magnetic module 135, which can be referred to as a side magnetic module. This third magnetic module 135 can be located on the side of the first main body 131 away from the folding mechanism 110, that is, the third magnetic module 135 can be adjacent to the first non-bending area 123 of the first flexible display screen 120 and the side of the first main body 131 away from the folding mechanism 110. For example, in... Figure 1 In the indicated direction, the third magnetic module 135 can be located at the lower right corner of the first main body 131.

[0052] The third magnetic module 135 can consist of multiple magnetic units, which can be arranged in a matrix or other forms to ensure that the electronic pen can be firmly attached to the main body. Furthermore, the third magnetic module can use a high-magnetic-strength rare-earth permanent magnet material to ensure that the electronic pen can be firmly attached to the device.

[0053] Therefore, the embodiments of this application use a magnetic design to fix the electronic pen, so that the electronic pen can be firmly fixed on the main body, preventing the electronic pen from sliding or shaking inside the device.

[0054] In one embodiment of this application, the second main body includes a fourth magnetic module, which is located on the side of the second main body away from the folding mechanism, and the third magnetic module and the fourth magnetic module are symmetrically arranged.

[0055] Specifically, see Figure 1 The second main body 132 includes a fourth magnetic module 136, which can be referred to as a side magnetic module. This fourth magnetic module 136 can be located on the side of the second main body 132 away from the folding mechanism 110, that is, the fourth magnetic module 136 can be adjacent to the second non-bending area 122 of the first flexible display screen 120 and the side of the second main body 132 away from the folding mechanism 110. For example, in Figure 1 In the indicated direction, the fourth magnetic module 136 can be located in the upper right corner of the second main body 132.

[0056] In one embodiment, the third magnetic module 135 and the fourth magnetic module 136 can be symmetrically arranged with the center line of the folded first flexible display screen 120 as the axis of symmetry, wherein the shapes of the third and fourth magnetic modules can be flexibly set according to actual needs. That is, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 Magnetic modules (i.e., the third magnetic module 135 and the fourth magnetic module 136) are respectively installed at the lower right corner of the first main body 131 and the upper right corner of the second main body 132. These magnetic modules are arranged with the center line of the folded first flexible display screen 120 as the axis of symmetry, ensuring that the two magnetic modules can be precisely aligned when the mobile terminal is folded, thereby achieving stable locking of the inner screen through magnetic force and effectively preventing accidental unfolding. Furthermore, when the mobile terminal is folded, side magnetic modules are designed on the sides of the main body, one at the top and one at the bottom, which can also fix the electronic pen to the side, preventing the electronic pen from being lost.

[0057] It should be noted that the mobile device can automatically adjust the displayed content of the system user interface (UI) based on the status of the electronic pen (e.g., magnetically attached, removed, or brought close). For example, when the electronic pen is removed, the mobile device can automatically switch to a note-taking or drawing application; when the electronic pen is put back, the mobile device can automatically close the relevant application or enter sleep mode.

[0058] Therefore, it can be seen that the embodiments of this application, through the coordinated work of the third and fourth magnetic modules, can provide stronger adsorption force, ensuring the stability of the mobile terminal in the folded state. At the same time, the electronic pen can be stored without taking up additional space in the device body, providing users with more convenient electronic pen storage.

[0059] In one embodiment of this application, the length of the second flexible display screen in the vertical direction is less than the length of the second main body in the vertical direction.

[0060] Specifically, see Figure 3 Vertically, it can be Figure 3 As shown in direction A, the length of the second flexible display screen 140 is less than the longitudinal length of the second main body 132. That is, when the mobile terminal is in the unfolded state, the edges of the mobile terminal exhibit a "convex" shape, allowing users to easily touch various areas of the second flexible display screen 140 with their fingers, enabling one-handed operation and optimizing the user's grip and ease of use. Simultaneously, the shorter display screen reduces the risk of damage to the second flexible display screen 140 during folding and unfolding, improving the device's durability.

[0061] In addition, see Figure 4 As can be seen from the view below, the thickness of the second flexible display screen 140 is also less than that of the main body 130. This design not only reduces the overall weight of the mobile terminal, but also makes the folded mobile terminal more compact and easier to carry.

[0062] In one embodiment of this application, the first magnetic module is located at the center of the first main body at the end away from the folding mechanism, and the second magnetic module is located on the center line of the first magnetic module.

[0063] Specifically, the first magnetic module can be located at the center of the first main body at the end furthest from the folding mechanism, for example... Figure 5 The second flexible display extends from the midpoint of the right edge of the mobile terminal in the indicated direction. This extends from the midpoint of the second main body on the side furthest from the folding mechanism, allowing the second magnetic module to be positioned on the center line of the first magnetic module, meaning the second and first magnetic modules are aligned in a straight line. This alignment ensures that the two magnetic modules can stably attract or separate during folding and unfolding.

[0064] Preferably, the center line of the second magnetic module is the same as the center line of the first magnetic module.

[0065] Therefore, it can be seen that by setting the first magnetic module at the center of one side of the first main body and placing the second magnetic module on the center line of the first magnetic module, the first magnetic module can be precisely aligned with the second magnetic module in the folded state, ensuring the uniform distribution of magnetic force and laying the foundation for the two magnetic modules to stably attract or separate from each other.

[0066] In one embodiment of this application, the first magnetic attraction module includes a plurality of first sub-magnetic attraction modules, and the second magnetic attraction module includes a plurality of second sub-magnetic attraction modules. The arrangement of the plurality of first sub-magnetic attraction modules includes linear arrangement, matrix arrangement, circular arrangement, or staggered arrangement, and the arrangement of the plurality of second sub-magnetic attraction modules includes linear arrangement, matrix arrangement, circular arrangement, or staggered arrangement.

[0067] Specifically, see Figure 1 When the mobile terminal is in a folded state, from the perspective of the orientation of the first magnetic module 134 and the second magnetic module 141, the first magnetic module 134 can be referred to as the lower magnetic module, and the second magnetic module 141 can be referred to as the upper magnetic module. The first magnetic module includes multiple first sub-magnetic modules, each of which can be a small magnet. That is, the first magnetic module can be composed of multiple small magnets, and the number of first sub-magnetic modules is not specifically limited in this embodiment. The second magnetic module includes multiple second sub-magnetic modules, each of which can be a small magnet. That is, the second magnetic module can be composed of multiple small magnets, and the number of second sub-magnetic modules is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0068] The arrangement of multiple first sub-magnetic modules (or multiple second sub-magnetic modules) can be linear. For example, multiple first sub-magnetic modules can be arranged along a straight line, located on the edge or center line of the side closer to the inflexible display screen and farther from the end of the folding mechanism 110. The arrangement of multiple first sub-magnetic modules (or multiple second sub-magnetic modules) can also be matrix-like. For example, multiple first sub-magnetic modules can be arranged in a matrix to form a two-dimensional grid structure, located at the center of the side closer to the inflexible display screen and farther from the end of the folding mechanism 110. The arrangement of multiple first sub-magnetic modules (or multiple second sub-magnetic modules) can also be circular. The arrangement of multiple first sub-magnetic modules (or multiple second sub-magnetic modules) can also be staggered, with multiple first sub-magnetic modules arranged in an staggered manner to form a staggered grid structure. The arrangement of multiple first sub-magnetic modules and multiple second sub-magnetic modules can be flexibly set according to actual needs.

[0069] It should be noted that the second sub-magnetic module can be made of the same or different materials as the first sub-magnetic module, and the arrangement of the second sub-magnetic module and the first sub-magnetic module can be the same or different.

[0070] Therefore, it can be seen that the first magnetic module and the second magnetic module in the embodiments of this application are each composed of multiple sub-magnetic modules, and the arrangement of the multiple sub-modules is diverse. By reasonably designing the arrangement of the sub-modules, the stability of the mobile terminal and the user experience can be improved, while providing support for the physical locking of the folding screen of the mobile terminal.

[0071] In one embodiment of this application, the first flexible display screen includes a bending area and a first non-bending area and a second non-bending area located on both sides of the bending area, wherein after the first flexible display screen is folded, the bending area is U-shaped, and the first non-bending area and the second non-bending area are arranged opposite to each other.

[0072] Specifically, see Figure 1 The first flexible display screen 120 includes a bending area and a first non-bending area 123 and a second non-bending area 122 located on both sides of the bending area, wherein the bending area is... Figure 1 The U-shaped flexible display area is marked with a dashed box (121). It should be noted that the U-shaped design of the bending area is not a traditional V-shaped fold, but rather a fold achieved through a certain bending radius. This design not only effectively reduces stress concentration on the first flexible display during the folding process and reduces the formation of creases, but also improves the durability of the first flexible display.

[0073] exist Figure 1 When the first flexible display screen 120 is in a folded state, the first non-bending area 123 and the second non-bending area 122 are arranged opposite to each other. That is, the first non-bending area 123 and the second non-bending area 122 are parallel to each other, which ensures that the two parts of the first flexible display screen 120 can fit tightly together in the folded state, thereby achieving a more compact device form.

[0074] It should be noted that when the first flexible display screen 120 is in a folded state, the gap between the first non-bending area 123 and the second non-bending area 122 can serve as storage space for private items. For example, users can place small items such as personal cards, loose change, and receipts in this gap. This method not only makes full use of the unique structure of the foldable mobile terminal, avoiding the need for additional pockets or storage bags, but also enhances the device's practicality and portability. At the same time, this storage method also provides users with additional privacy protection, ensuring that these items will not be easily seen by others during use.

[0075] Therefore, this embodiment of the application reduces stress concentration on the first flexible display screen during folding by designing the bending area as a U-shape, thereby improving the screen's lifespan. Furthermore, by setting the non-bending areas relatively opposite each other, stress during folding can be better dispersed, reducing structural deformation caused by bending.

[0076] This application proposes a mobile terminal (e.g., a mobile phone) with a design structure featuring a second flexible display screen (i.e., the mobile terminal provided in this application has three displays). This structure has unique functions and advantages. Its core feature is that the second flexible display screen and the outer screen (i.e., the non-flexible display screen) can achieve linked magnetic locking and unlocking. This function is not only convenient to operate, but also provides reliable storage and protection for private items on the inner screen (i.e., the first flexible display screen) when folded. Through magnetic locking, the mobile terminal can fit tightly when folded, preventing accidental unfolding. Simultaneously, unlocking via a fingerprint module further enhances security and ensures that user privacy is not leaked.

[0077] Furthermore, the design also features a pen storage and securing function. Users can place the pen in a designated location, and the structure of the second flexible display screen firmly secures it, preventing it from loosening or falling during mobile device movement. This multifunctional second flexible display screen design not only enhances the practicality of foldable mobile devices but also provides users with a more convenient and safer user experience, meeting modern users' demands for efficient and multifunctional electronic products.
