The main screen and the auxiliary screen are LCD liquid crystal screens or OLED organic light emitting screens. For the LCD screen, because the relative one side when relevant art's main screen and secondary screen expand has the frame limit (be close to adapting unit 9 one side promptly), relevant art prevents the problem of light leakage, screen limit damage, salt fog erosion, hand sweat erosion etc. through the frame limit, and the frame limit of this side has been removed in this application, carries out the problem of shading, prevent screen limit damage, prevent salt fog and prevent hand sweat etc. through setting up first functional unit and second functional unit. To OLED organic light emitting screen, it is self-luminous, does not have the light leak problem, can not set up first functional unit and second functional unit, but, if the edge of main screen and vice screen directly exposes, causes the screen limit damage very easily, also receives the corruption of salt fog, hand sweat etc. easily moreover, the accessible sets up the problem that first functional unit and second functional unit prevent screen limit damage, salt fog and hand sweat etc..

In the present embodiment, the main screen 2 includes a main display panel 21 and a main touch cover 22, the main touch cover 22 is located outside the main display panel 21, and the first functional component 51 is disposed on a side surface of the main display panel 21 (i.e., the first functional component 51 is disposed on a side surface of the main display panel 21 close to the connecting component 9); the sub-screen 4 includes a sub-display panel 41 and a sub-touch cover 42, the sub-touch cover 42 is located outside the sub-display panel 41, and the second functional component 52 is provided on a side surface of the sub-display panel 41 (i.e., the second functional component 52 is provided on a side surface of the sub-display panel 41 close to the connection member 9). For the LCD, the first functional component 51 and the second functional component 52 mainly have the functions of shading light and also have the functions of dust prevention, moisture prevention and bump prevention; for the OLED organic light-emitting screen, the first functional component 51 and the second functional component 52 mainly have the function of collision prevention, and can also have the functions of dust prevention and moisture prevention.

The distance between the display area of the main display panel and the display area of the auxiliary display panel is as follows: the sum of the distance between the display area of the main display panel and the outer edge of the main touch cover plate (about 0.9mm for the OLED screen and about 0.7mm for the LCD screen), the distance between the display area of the auxiliary display panel and the outer edge of the auxiliary touch cover plate (about 0.9mm for the OLED screen and about 0.7mm for the LCD screen), and the safety gap (about 0.1 mm) between the main housing and the auxiliary housing; compared with the prior art, the thickness of two frames (about 1mm, the sum of two frames about 0.5 mm) and the distance of two gap filling widths (about 0.6mm, the sum of two frames about 0.3 mm) are saved.

In one example, the first functional component blocks the opening of the first frame, and the second functional component blocks the opening of the second frame; so that the first functional component 51 and the second functional component 52 both function as dust and moisture proof; and for the LCD liquid crystal screen, the light shielding and anti-collision effects of the first functional component 51 and the second functional component 52 are also better (preventing the light leakage, damage, dust prevention and moisture prevention at the opening of the main display panel 21 and the sub display panel 41), and for the OLED organic light emitting screen, the anti-collision effects of the first functional component 51 and the second functional component 52 are also better (preventing the damage, dust prevention and moisture prevention at the opening of the main display panel 21 and the sub display panel 41).

After the terminal is unfolded, under the condition that the same safety gap is kept, the distance between the display area of the main display panel 21 and the display area of the auxiliary display panel 41 is smaller, the image boundary distance between the display area of the main display panel 21 and the display area of the auxiliary display panel 41 is smaller, and the terminal is more beneficial to a user to watch screen images.
