Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an improvement in displays of mobile information terminals such as smartphones and tablets and portable telephones, and more particularly, to a protection of a display surface and a convenience of confirmation of information.
Hereinafter, description will be given mainly on a smartphone, but the present invention can also be applied to a mobile terminal other than a smartphone.
Background
Currently, a generally used smart phone has a display disposed on a surface of a housing having a rectangular shape, and the display is exposed when the smart phone is used or not used. Therefore, an accident of damage of the display due to dropping or collision of the smartphone is generated. In addition, there is a problem that the display is easily soiled.
Therefore, many users carry the smart phone by enclosing it in a protective case.
If pack the protective housing into with the smart mobile phone, then just can't watch the display without opening the protective housing. The protective case must be opened to confirm information such as the time displayed on the display and the receipt of mail.
As a mobile information terminal in which a display is folded inward, for example, japanese patent No. 6261674 is known. In addition, "Galaxy Fold" (trade name) of samsung corporation, the display is folded inward in order to make the display large, but the display (sub-display) is also attached to the outside of the cabinet, and the time, mail, and the like can be confirmed.

Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
The invention aims to protect a display by folding the display inward into two parts and to confirm time, mails and the like without installing the display on the outer side of a casing.
Means for solving the problems
The present invention solves the above problems by configuring a mobile terminal as follows.
Above a main chassis to which a main display is attached, there are disposed: and a plurality of sub-housings to which the sub-display is attached, the sub-housings being rotatably connected by a hinge or the like. The total length in the vertical direction of the sub-chassis is equal to the length in the vertical direction of the main chassis, and when the main chassis and all the sub-chassis are folded by a connecting portion connecting the main chassis and the sub-chassis, the main display and all the sub-displays are closed so as to face each other. When the sub-housing is moved upward from the closed state, the first sub-housing directly connected to the main housing is rotated, and a part of the main display is exposed.
The main chassis and the plurality of sub-chassis may be connected by a connecting member as separate chassis, or may be integrally formed of synthetic resin and provided with a groove so as to be rotatable.
Similarly, the main display and the plurality of sub-displays may be integrated by one flexible organic EL sheet, in addition to the individual displays.
When the flexible organic EL is used for a display, the first sub-housing connected to the main housing is also made flexible, so that the sliding operation of the sub-housing is made smooth.
In the present invention, the term "above the housing" means a side located on the upper side in a hand-held state in a normal usage, and means a short edge side located on the upper side in a hand-held state if the smartphone is a rectangular shape that is vertically long in a plan view, and means a long edge side located on the upper side in a hand-held state if the smartphone is a flat plate that is horizontally long in a plan view.
In this invention, the purpose can be achieved by only two sub-housings, but three or more sub-housings may be used. Further, although the display is attached to the first sub-housing, the display is not necessarily attached to another sub-housing coupled to the first sub-housing. For example, only a physical switch and a camera may be mounted on a part of the sub-chassis.
The total length in the longitudinal direction of the plurality of sub-housings is equal to the length in the longitudinal direction of the main housing in order to close the main display facing all the sub-displays when the main housing is folded by the hinge connecting the main housing and the sub-housings. Therefore, the "equal" length means a length at which neither the main display nor the sub-display is exposed when the main chassis and the sub-chassis are folded.
When two sub-housings are used, the length of the first sub-housing connected to the main housing in the vertical direction is shorter than the length of the other sub-housings in the vertical direction (claim 2), and the specific length is determined in consideration of the degree of ease of rotation of the first sub-housing and the length of the main display desired to be exposed. Specifically, the lower portion of the main display is exposed by several centimeters as a reference.
This is because if the longitudinal length of the first sub-housing is longer than necessary, the upward movement (rotation) becomes difficult, and it is not necessary to expose a large area of the main display in order to check limited information.
Effects of the invention
According to the present invention, since the plurality of sub-housings are coupled to each other via the coupling portion above the main housing, and the total length in the vertical direction of the sub-housings is equal to the length in the vertical direction of the main housing, the main display and all the sub-displays can be closed by folding the main housing and the sub-housings with the coupling portion coupling each other. Thus, the display can be protected without using a protective case.
Further, since the plurality of sub-housings are connected, when the sub-housing is moved upward from a state where the display is closed, the first sub-housing connected to the main housing is rotated, and a part of the main display is exposed. Therefore, by displaying information such as the time on the exposed portion of the main display, the information can be confirmed even without completely opening the display.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described.
In the smartphone a, a first sub-housing 4 to which a first sub-display 3 is attached is coupled via a coupling section 5 to an upper side of a main housing 2 to which a main display 1 is attached, the main housing having a vertically long rectangular shape in plan view. A second sub-housing 7 to which a second sub-display 6 is attached is coupled to an upper portion of the first sub-housing 4 via a coupling portion 8.
The three housings 2, 4, 7 are integrally molded from a synthetic resin material. The two coupling portions 5 and 8 are provided with V- shaped grooves 5a and 8a, respectively, which are formed in the surface of the housing on the side opposite to the display, and the sub-housings 4 and 7 are rotatable in the direction in which the main display 1 and the sub-displays 3 and 6 face each other.
On the left and right edges and the lower edge of the main chassis 2, projections 2a are provided to prevent the display 1 from coming into contact with the sub-chassis display when closed, projections 4a are also provided on the left and right edges of the first sub-chassis 4, and projections 7a are provided on the left and right edges and the upper edge of the second sub-chassis 7.
A length L3, which is the sum of the length L1 of the longitudinal direction of the first sub-housing 4 and the length L2 of the longitudinal direction of the second sub-housing 7, coincides with the length L4 of the longitudinal direction of the main housing 2. The length L1 in the longitudinal direction of the first sub-housing 4 is set to be about 1/3 (about 40mm is exposed in the lower part of the display in a smartphone having a height of 150 mm) of the length in the longitudinal direction of the main housing 2.
In the figure, reference numeral 9 denotes a camera mounted on the second sub-housing. This camera 9 faces outward in the state where the housing is opened, and therefore normal shooting can be performed, and in the state of fig. 6 where the second sub-housing is closed, the camera 9 faces inward, and self-shooting (shooting itself) can be performed. At this time, if a camera image is displayed on the exposed lower portion 1a of the main display 1, the lower portion of the main display can be used as a monitor for self-timer shooting.
Since the length L3 of the smartphone a configured as described above is the same as that of L4, when the two sub-housings 4 and 7 are folded back by the hinge 5 and rotated toward the display side of the main housing 2, the smartphone a is folded into two parts in a state where the displays 1, 3, and 6 face each other. Therefore, when the smartphone a is not used, the display is not exposed and protected.
When the second sub-housing 7 is slid upward from this state, the first sub-housing 4 is rotated about the hinges 5 and 8, and the sliding is stopped at a point when the first sub-housing 4 and the second sub-housing 7 are flush with each other. Then, since the lower portion 1a of the main display 1 is exposed, information displayed thereon such as the time can be confirmed.
Industrial applicability of the invention
The invention can realize the protection of the display in the information terminal such as a smart phone, and the like, and has the convenience of confirming the information, and industrial applicability.
