The display screen 120 is used to display images and colors. Optionally, the display screen 120 is a touch display screen, and the touch display screen has a function of receiving a touch operation (such as clicking, sliding, pressing, and the like) of a user in addition to a display function. Alternatively, the display screen 120 may be an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) screen.

Illustratively, the second display area 122 is made of a flexible material, and the first display area 121 or the third display area 123 may be made of a flexible material or a rigid material. When the first display area 121 and the third display area 123 are made of a flexible material, the display screen 120 is a complete flexible display screen, which is a display screen capable of being bent and flexible, and the flexible display screen can change the screen form by bending, folding, and the like.

In an exemplary embodiment, the first display area 121, the second display area 122, and the third display area 123 are three different display areas of the display screen 120, instead of three different display screens, and there is no stitching gap between two adjacent display areas.

The first driving assembly 130 is disposed on the body 110 and connected to the first slider 150 through the first telescopic member 140.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first driving assembly 130 may convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, so that the first telescopic member 140 can push or pull the first slider 150 to move. Optionally, the first drive assembly 130 is a motor.

The first telescopic member 140 refers to a member that can be telescopic. Illustratively, the first telescopic member 140 may be a connecting rod, or may be another member having telescopic performance. The disclosed embodiment does not limit the type of the first telescopic member 140.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, in the process that the third display area 123 changes from the inward-retracted state to the outward-extended state, the first driving assembly 130 drives the first telescopic member 140 to push the first slider 150 outward, so that the first slider 150 drives the third display area 123 to be folded from the back of the body 110 to the front of the body 110. The mobile terminal 100 changes from the state shown in fig. 1 to the state shown in fig. 2.

In the process that the third display area 123 changes from the outward extending state to the inward contracting state, the first driving assembly 130 drives the first telescopic member 140 to pull the first slider 150 inward, so that the third display area 123 is folded from the front of the body 110 to the back of the body 110. The mobile terminal 100 changes from the state shown in fig. 2 to the state shown in fig. 1.

In the process of unfolding the third display area 123, the first driving assembly 130 drives the first telescopic member 140 to push the first slider 150 outwards, so that the first slider 150 moves in a direction away from the body 110, the first slider 150 drives the second display area 122 to move when moving, and the second display area 122 drives the third display area 123 to move, so that the third display area 123 is folded from the back of the body 110 to the front of the body 110, and the display screen 120 is unfolded. When the third display area 123 is in the outwardly extended state, the screen display area of the mobile terminal 100 increases. According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the screen display area of the mobile terminal 100 is increased on the basis that the mobile terminal 100 is convenient to carry.

In the process of shrinking the third display area 123, the first driving assembly 130 drives the first telescopic member 140 to pull the first slider 150 inward, so that the first slider 150 moves toward the machine body 110, the first slider 150 drives the second display area 122 to move when moving, and the second display area 122 drives the third display area 123 to move, so that the third display area 123 is turned over from the front side of the machine body 110 to the back side of the machine body 110, thereby shrinking the display screen 120.

In an exemplary embodiment, the back of the second display area 122 is a bendable support member. The flexible support member is used to support the second display area 122 when the third display area 123 is in the extended state. The bendable support member may be any one of: silica gel, TPU rubber, hinges.

In an exemplary embodiment, the upper surface of the first slider 150 is attached to the rear surface of the second display area 122 with the third display area 123 in the outwardly extended state. At this time, the first slider 150 can support the second display area 122 well, so as to avoid the screen unevenness caused by the absence of support when the second display area 122 is in the unfolded state.

Alternatively, in a case where the third display area 123 is in an inwardly contracted state, the rear surface of the third display area 123 is attached to the first region of the rear surface of the body 110.

Optionally, a first connection portion is disposed in a first region of the back surface of the body 110, and a second connection portion adapted to the first connection portion is disposed on the back surface of the third display area 123; in the case where the third display area 123 is in the inwardly contracted state, the first connection portion and the second connection portion form a connection. The first and second connecting portions may serve as a fixing function for the third display area 123 when the third display area 123 is in an inwardly contracted state.

In one example, a snap connection is formed between the first and second connection portions. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3, the first connecting portion is a clip 111, and the second connecting portion is a slot 112 adapted to the clip 111. Alternatively, the latch 111 is connected to a motor, which allows the latch 111 to be inserted into the slot 112 or allows the latch 111 to be disengaged from the slot 112. When the third display area 123 changes from the outward extending state to the inward contracting state, the user can manually fold the third display area 123 back to the position where the third display area 123 is in the contracting state, and insert the buckle 111 into the card slot 112.

In another example, a magnetic connection is formed between the first connection portion and the second connection portion. For example, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are both permanent magnets, and the third display area 123 can be extended outwards by increasing the distance between the body 110 and the third display area 123; the third display area 123 can be inwardly contracted by reducing the distance between the body 110 and the third display area 123. Or one of the first connecting part and the second connecting part is a permanent magnet, and the other one is a soft magnet. By outputting current to the soft magnet, repulsive force is generated between the first connection portion and the second connection portion, and the first connection portion and the second connection portion are separated, so that the third display region 123 can be outwardly extended.

Optionally, a camera is disposed in the first region of the back surface of the body 110. When taking a picture, the third display area 123 is expanded outwards, and the mobile terminal 100 exposes the camera to meet the shooting requirement of the user. Through setting up the camera in the first region at the organism 110 back for the camera does not expose at ordinary times, can play the guard action to the camera.

As shown in fig. 4, a sliding groove 151 is formed on the upper surface of the first slider 150, and a sliding member 152 adapted to the sliding groove 151 is formed on the back surface of the first display area 121. The arrangement of the sliding groove 151 and the sliding member 152 can prevent the first display area 121 from being separated from the first slider 150 and reduce the movement resistance of the first slider 150 to some extent.

Optionally, the mobile terminal 100 further comprises a limiting mechanism. The limiting mechanism is used for limiting the maximum displacement of the first slider 150 in the process of changing the third display area 123 from the inward contraction state to the outward extension state. Through the mode, the damage caused by the fact that the screen is stretched too much due to the fact that the first sliding block 150 is displaced too much can be avoided.

Illustratively, the limiting mechanism may include a magnetic element and a hall sensor. The magnetic elements may include permanent magnetic elements and soft magnetic elements; a hall sensor is a magnetic field sensor made according to the hall effect. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the hall sensor may indirectly measure a displacement between the magnetic element and the hall sensor, that is, a displacement between the machine body 110 and the first slider 150. Alternatively, the magnetic element is disposed on the body 110, and the hall sensor is disposed on the first slider 150; alternatively, the magnetic element is disposed on the first slider 150, and the hall sensor is disposed on the body 110. When the displacement between the body 110 and the first slider 150 is greater than the preset threshold, the mobile terminal 100 controls the first driving assembly 130 to stop working, so that the first slider 150 stops moving, and the third display area 123 stops expanding.

The limiting mechanism is arranged in the mobile terminal 100, so that the display screen 120 can be well protected, and the problem of damage to the display screen 120 due to excessive expansion is avoided.

Of course, the limit function of the limit mechanism can also be achieved by setting the telescopic length of the first telescopic member 140.
