Frameless Mobile Terminal Display Structure with Bending Glass Panel
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile terminals have a wide visual frame due to traditional display module technologies, restricting the development of frameless or super-narrowly framed designs, which fail to meet user demands for increased screen occupancy.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal display structure featuring a glass panel with a touch region and extension regions that bend downwards, covering the lateral sides of the display screen and integrating with the terminal housing to create a frameless design, while using a flexible liquid crystal display and optical adhesive for attachment without degrading transmittance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If traditional display module technology is used, then the display screen can be assembled with standard components, but the visual frame becomes wide and screen occupancy is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The glass panel is extended from the traditional flat 2D display surface into the 3D space by bending downwards along the lateral sides. This dimensional extension allows the glass panel to cover the packaging regions that would otherwise be visible, achieving a frameless visual effect while maintaining structural integrity
Solution Approach 2:
The glass panel is designed with flexible extension regions that can bend downwards without breaking. This flexibility allows the glass panel to adapt to the housing structure and cover the packaging regions, eliminating the need for a wide visual frame while protecting the display components
2Shape
If the glass panel is extended to cover packaging regions, then frameless visual effect is achieved, but the glass panel structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The glass panel is divided into distinct functional regions: a touch region for user interaction, extension regions that bend downwards to cover packaging areas, and connection regions that join these parts. This segmentation allows each region to be optimized for its specific function while maintaining overall structural coherence
Solution Approach 2:
The extension regions of the glass panel are designed with curved bending surfaces that transition smoothly from the flat touch region to the downward-extending coverage areas. This curvature enables the glass panel to achieve the frameless visual effect while distributing structural stress evenly
3Shape
If the packaging regions are hidden within the housing, then aesthetic appearance is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The extension regions of the glass panel are inserted into corresponding recesses or slots in the housing structure, creating a nested arrangement. This nesting design automatically positions the glass panel correctly and hides the packaging regions within the housing, improving aesthetics while providing built-in alignment features that reduce assembly precision requirements

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a mobile terminal display structure and a mobile terminal. The display structure may include: a terminal housing; a display module, including a display screen and a glass panel attached to the display screen; wherein the glass panel has a touch region and extension regions bending and extending along both lateral sides of the touch region, an exterior surface of each extension region being located in a same plane with a corresponding edge of the terminal housing. The mobile terminal display structure according to the present disclosure is provided with the glass panel which at least covers both the lateral sides of the whole front surface thereof, and at least the packaging regions on both the lateral sides of the display screen are bended and extended into the housing. A real visual frameless design for the mobile terminal is achieved, while the screen occupying proportion is increased.
