[0062] The mobile phone with a built-in side screen provided in Example 1 is further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 4 - Figure 5 As shown,

[0063] First, in the customization stage, the plan sets the size of the models, and limits the size of some models of mobile phones to make up for the shortcomings of the curved screen that cannot be adapted. Therefore, this modular customized display can be processed with the original mobile phone shell 11. Under the premise of ensuring the normal use of the mobile phone function, an APP can be developed and compiled to make the side screen display lyrics, music scores, or increase the volume and camera brightness after sliding the button;

[0064] Summary effect: The side screen is extended on the mobile phone that does not have a full screen according to the needs of users, and the user experience is improved while keeping the normal functions of the mobile phone. The length of the side screen is customized according to the size of the smart phone. There are two types of side screens: small and large: the functions are the same;

[0065] The frame 112 is further provided with two adsorption magnetic sheets 34 at intervals in the middle area of ​​the power supply slot 32 , and the two adsorption magnetic sheets 34 are combined with a positioning seat 35 on the inner surface of the backlight plate 213 .

[0066] During the personnel's fine connection stage, the two adsorption magnetic sheets 34 are used for basic positioning to avoid deviation during screen assembly, thereby greatly improving positioning accuracy.

[0067] The TFT liquid crystal main screen 212 has an in-cell structure inside, and the touch feedback of the compiler program is used to realize the physical button triggering function, and the intelligent program of the intelligent display terminal 1 is interactively set.

[0068] The in-cell structure has the advantages of small size and low power consumption, and is more advantageous in small-screen applications.

[0069] Specific assembly: The user customizes the two damping limit slots 31 reserved on the side wall of the frame 112. After finding them, manually screw on the locking buckle 37 to achieve the installation of the side screen 21 and the frame 112. Of course, the adsorption magnetic sheet 34 and the positioning seat 35 need to be matched to ensure that the side screen 21 and the frame 112 can be installed quickly.

[0070] The mobile phone with a built-in side screen provided in Example 2 is further optimized. Specifically, Figure 6 As shown, the size of the side screen 21 can be customized, wherein a connecting flexible circuit 214 is provided on the back of the backlight panel 213 and the TFT liquid crystal main screen 212, and a connector 36 with a magnetic suction function is provided on the back of the backlight panel 213, and one end of the connector 36 is adsorbed to the adsorption magnetic sheet 34 to form a modular structure.

[0071] The main purpose of setting the backlight panel 213 and the connector 36 is to make the backlight panel 213 emit light to enhance the brightness of the main light screen. One end of the connector 36 is adsorbed to the adsorption magnetic sheet 34 to make the main screen and the side screen more tightly connected.

[0072] Correspondingly, two independent locking buckles 37 are arranged to be locked in the two damping limit slots 31 , and the locking buckle 37 paddles are locked and matched with the inner wall of the damping limit slot 31 .

[0073] The locking buckle 37 and the damping limit slot 31 are toggled and clamped to strengthen the connection stability between the side screen and the mobile phone frame.

[0074] A data exchange head 38 is disposed on the surface of the backlight plate 213 .

[0075] Mainly, the backlight panel 213 and the TFT liquid crystal main screen 212 are adjustable, controllable and can be turned off.

[0076] The integrated power supply for data transmission is uniformly supplied by the power supply slot 32 set in the frame 112 area. In addition, the pins of the magnetic power supply head 33 are close to the multiple data exchange heads 38 on the back of the backlight plate 213 to adsorb it. At the moment of adsorption, the TFT liquid crystal main screen 212 with touch function is powered on, and the backlight plate 213 will emit light to illuminate the TFT liquid crystal main screen 212. In this process, the touch capacitor senses the electronic signal of the hand to form the change of the magnetic field of the electric particles, thereby realizing the touch function, and the touch function has tactile feedback;

[0077] The side screen 21 uses touch buttons to replace traditional mechanical buttons, and the side screen 21 supports customization of side buttons. Users can set the number, function, position, size, sensitivity, etc. of touch buttons according to their personal habits of holding the phone with their palms and fingers. When the user is running a game APP, the side screen 21 can also provide side auxiliary function buttons;

[0078] Moreover, the touch side screen display function is subject to the system UI design. The later operation feedback benefits from the combination of system kernel programming and actual touch capacitive screen hardware to achieve certain convenient functions.

[0079] In addition, in terms of size, a small size can be set separately to replace the manual adjustment of the phone volume button, which makes the use process cooler and more in line with the full-screen touch experience.

[0080] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral one; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or communication with each other; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0081] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of the utility model, rather than all embodiments.
