The communication terminal apparatus of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a communication terminal device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, communication terminal 10 is provided as a flat state. The communication terminal device 10 is short in the lateral direction Y long in the longitudinal direction X and thin in the thickness direction Z as shown in FIG. The communication terminal device 10 is divided into a plurality of regions in the longitudinal direction X, and a laminated structure is formed in the thickness direction Z. As shown in FIG. 2, in the communication terminal device 10, in the longitudinal direction X, the first end area 1, the operation area 2, the first display screen area 3, the deformable area 4, and the second display screen It comprises an area 5 and a second end area 6. As shown in FIG. 3, the communication terminal device 10 is composed of a functional layer 7, a circuit layer 8, a deformation layer 9, and a protective support layer 11 in the thickness direction Z. In the present embodiment, such a laminated structure in the thickness direction is formed over the entire region in the longitudinal direction other than the first and second end regions. However, it may be formed over the entire area including the first and second end areas, or may be formed in partial areas in the longitudinal direction X and the transverse direction Y that are to be formed. Also, the thickness of each layer may be different in each region.

An operation key board surface is formed in the operation area 2 of the functional layer 7. On the operation key board surface, sheet switch type keys such as ten keys and function keys are arranged in a matrix. Data corresponding to the key operation is input to a control unit (not shown) by a circuit formed in the circuit layer 8 and used for control of the communication terminal device. The first display screen area 3 of the functional layer 7 and the second display screen area 5 of the functional layer 7 are both formed as thin film type display surfaces such as a liquid crystal screen, a plasma screen, and an organic EL screen. The second display screen area 5 of the functional layer 7 has the same structure as the first display screen area 3 of the functional layer 7 and is formed such that a large one screen can be formed by two screens. The first display screen area 3 and the second display screen area 5 are provided in the circuit layer 8. Each drive circuit (not shown) is formed to drive! Scold. A microphone 39 is formed in the deformation self-region 4 of the functional layer 7. However, the microphone 39 may be provided in the first end region 1. A camera 37 and a speaker 40 are provided in the second end area 6. Further, the circuit layer 8 is formed as a layer including a sheet-like battery layer and a thin-film battery layer. It is desirable from the viewpoint of increasing storage capacity that the battery layer be equipped longitudinally in the full length. A wiring layer (not shown) is formed between the functional layer 7 and the circuit layer 8. This wiring layer may be formed as part of the circuit layer 8. The protective support layer 11 is laminated on the protective surface side of the deformation layer 9 and joined so as to be integral with the deformation layer 9. The protective support layer 11 has a weak elasticity. From the above configuration, it is possible to achieve all the functions of currently well-known mobile terminals (mobile phones). Furthermore, by providing various circuits in the circuit layer 8, it is possible to realize functions corresponding to them.

The first end region 1 and the second end region 6 are respectively formed of an elastomeric resin as a whole (both in the longitudinal direction X and in the thickness direction Z). The first end region 1 and the second end region 6 are preferably formed as joint surfaces. Both joint surfaces are formed so that they can be easily joined and separated, and not easily separated during use. The bonding surface may be formed as a magnetic bonding layer using an electric or the like utilizing a magnet or the like, and may be formed as a surface of an adhesive material. FIG. 4 shows another example of the mechanical bonding state of the first end region 1 and the second end region 6. A convex portion 12 is formed on the functional layer surface side of the first end region 1, and a concave portion 12 ′ is formed on the functional layer surface side of the second end region 6. The convex portion 12 of the first end region 6 is engaged with the force of the concave portion 12 'of the second end region 6 to maintain the bonding state, and the convex portion 12 is the concave portion 12 It can be easily removed from '. Such an uneven portion may be formed on the entire vacant area of the first end area 1 and the second end area 6 or the side end and the second end area 6 of the first end area 1. It may be formed on the side edge of

FIG. 5 schematically shows a first modified state of communication terminal apparatus 10. The first end regions 1 are joined to one another with respect to the second end regions 6. The functional side of the operation area 2 and the functional side of the first display screen area 3 face upward or obliquely upward, and the functional side of the second display screen area 5 is in contact with the desk surface 16. The plastic flexibility of the communication terminal 10 mainly Region 4 is given by. The image display surface of the first display screen area 3 is directed obliquely upward with respect to the desk top 16 and is inclined at an angle at which the image can be easily viewed. The operation area 2 is stably supported by the desk top 16 via the second display screen area 5. The communication terminal apparatus 10 in the first modified state can also be used as a fixed communication terminal.

FIG. 6 schematically shows a second modified state of communication terminal apparatus 10. The second deformation state is a state in which the communication terminal device 10 is joined upside down, contrary to the first deformation state of FIG. The communication terminal device 10 in the second deformed state is thin as a whole, and is housed in a pocket of clothes and in a hand bag so as to be easy to carry. By properly designing the fitting force between the convex portion 12 and the concave portion 12 ', the closed ring portion 4 formed by the deformable region 4 can be passed through the belt of the pants. In such a mode of use, the communication terminal device 10 can be readily obtained when it is necessary to communicate with the user.

FIG. 7 schematically shows a third modified state of communication terminal apparatus 10. As shown in FIG. The third deformation state is a state in which the communication terminal device 10 is spirally wound around the cylindrical surface of the prepared cylinder 22. According to the spiral winding, in the basic state of FIG. 1, the first display screen area 3 and the second display screen area 5 separated from each other can be arranged in the horizontal direction Y continuously. Thus, the screen of the first display screen area 3 and the screen of the second display screen area 5 can be formed as a single screen integrated in the Y direction. At this time, a magnetic joint or a mechanical joint such as a magnet is provided at corresponding portions of the first display screen area 3 and the second display screen area 5 to make it possible to form a joint by force and joint. Desired to form a single screen.

FIG. 8 schematically shows a fourth modified state of the communication terminal apparatus 10. As shown in FIG. The fourth deformation state is a state in which the communication terminal device 10 is wound in a twisted manner so as to form a mavis band. While the display screens of the first display screen area 3 and the second display screen area 5 are both located on the visible side in the basic state of FIG. 1, the display screen of the first display screen area 3 is approximate in the twist winding of FIG. The display screen of the second display screen area 5 is generally directed to the visible side. It is stably placed on the desk top at three points on the same side edge of operation area 2, first display screen area 3 and second display screen area 5. In this embodiment, it is possible to look at the screen of the operation area 2 by adjusting the line of sight obliquely upward and downward, but the interior design effect is rather greater. Communication terminal apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 9 is displaced in the lateral direction Y and partially circularized, with one end extending in the air and the other end mounted on the mounting surface. The camera 37 captures an indoor environment, and the video is transmitted as a video of a videophone during a call, and is displayed in at least one of the first display screen area 3 and the second display screen area 5 when not in a call. it can

The first display screen area 3 displays the first incoming call state (example: the other party's name, the other party's telephone number), and the second display screen area 5 displays the second incoming call state (example: message). The first display screen area 3 and the second display screen area 5 can be independent of one another or dependent on one another. The same figure (b) shows a movement form in which the handle of the handbag is passed through the annular portion 38.

It is done. By pressing the key group 28, the screen combining signal generation circuit 29 generates a mode selection signal 34 for selecting one screen combining mode out of the three screen combining modes. The mode selection signal 34 is output from the screen synthesis signal generation circuit 29 and input to the data distribution circuit 33. The 2-screen data 31 held in the data holding circuit 32 is also outputted to the data holding circuit 32 and inputted to the data distribution circuit 33. These circuits and wiring between circuits are formed on the inter-layer surfaces of the operation area 2, the first display screen area 3, the deformable area 4, and the second display screen area 5.

Two screens are treated independently according to the independent screen mode signal. Of the image data 31 for two screens, first image data 31-1 displayed in the first display screen area 3 is distributed to the first display screen area 3. The second image data 31-2 displayed in the second display screen area 5 among the image data 31 of two screens is distributed to the second display screen area 5. The first image data 31-1 and the second image data 31-2 are independent of each other. After the last scan line 35 scanned in the second display screen area 5, the first scan line 36 is created in the first display screen area 3. The image A displayed in the second display screen area 5 is located on the left side of the image B displayed in the first display screen area 3. According to another winding of the communication terminal device 10, the image A is located on the right side of the image B.

The first image data 31-1 and the second image data 31-2 are continuous with each other in the lateral direction Y. After the last scan line 35 scanned in the second display screen area 5, the first scan line 36 is created in the first display screen area 3. The image A is distributed to the first display screen area 3 and the second display screen area 5 and displayed in portrait orientation.

Communication terminal device 10, which is diversified in portable form, is rolled into a pocket or a hand bag and carried, and an annular body formed by combining both end portions is passed through a waist belt. Or carried around the wrist and shaped into a pseudo-tie under the neck Can be suspended. Furthermore, it is variously made as figurine. As shown in FIG. 7, a transparent cylinder 22 is used for display. Communication terminal apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 8 has an intellectual atmosphere.

When the deformable area 4 of the communication terminal device 10 shown in FIG. 14 (a) is bent,

As shown in (b), the reference unit length of the deformable layer 13-1 having elasticity extends to D + ΔD, and the reference unit length of the deformable layer 13-3 having elasticity is D — Shrink to ΔD. The middle layer 13-2 sandwiched between the two layers 13-1 and 3 thus stretched is sandwiched between the extension layer 13-1 which receives the extension force and the compression layer 13-3 which receives the extension force. If the middle layer 132 does not have plasticity such as lead, deformation energy is accumulated in the middle layer 13-2 which receives an excessive force, and the communication terminal 10 releases its deformation energy to return to its original shape. To restore.

The above structure is described as having a uniform film structure from the first display screen area 2 to the second display screen area 5 via the deformable area 4. However, as described with reference to FIG. 14, it is desirable to be able to respond more flexibly to bending of the communication terminal device 10. FIG. 15 shows such a deformable area 4. The deformable area 4 forms a layered structure of one or more layers, and is arranged in the central area of the communication terminal device 10. The deformable region 4 has a three-layer structure stacked in the thickness direction. The three-layer structure of the deformable region 4 is formed as a multilayer structure by the deformed free layer 13-1 and 13-2 and 13-3. The deformable layer 13-1 and the deformable layer 13-3 are formed in the same structure so as to be substantially mirror-symmetrical to the central plane of the deformable layer 13-2. The deformable layer 13-1 has a laminated structure of a plurality of weak elastic plastic films 14 having relatively weak elasticity. The deformable layer 13-1 includes, for example, a functional layer 7 and a circuit layer 8. A plurality of layers of plastic thin films 14 are mutually connected in the thickness direction Z at both ends in the longitudinal direction X. The intermediate portions of the longitudinal direction X do not bond to each other, and free displacement in the longitudinal and lateral directions is allowed. It is done. Here, “displacement is free” means that “displacement is possible”. If there is a “slip”, shape preservation can be guaranteed even if it is variously deformed regardless of the existence of elongation difference (peripheral difference) between multiple layers when bending. At that time, it is particularly desirable that the surfaces of the multiple layers have proper friction. The simultaneous presence of slippage and friction is equivalent to mechanical plasticity. Clay, lead Such plastic objects naturally have friction and slippage as physical properties as local chemical bonds.

The deformable layer 13 can be plastically deformed in a two-dimensional manner. Here, the coil spring is elastically deformed by receiving a strong deforming force, but returns to the original shape when the deforming force is eliminated, which means that it has “single shape memory”. . The deformable layer 13 used herein has a plurality of specific shapes corresponding to the respective physical and chemical conditions. As a representative material, a shape memory alloy capable of holding a plurality of shapes corresponding to a plurality of temperatures is known. Similar to this shape memory alloy, a shape memory resin may be used as the material of the deformable layer 13 by storing a plurality of shapes.

As the material of the plastic thin film 14, a lead plate can be used. In this example, 4 cm X

If a 20 cm rectangular lead is used, its appropriate thickness is 0.5 mm. The lead plate changes its radiation direction in a two-dimensional manner, allowing bending including twisting and maintaining its shape in any deformation state. However, they still have problems in terms of discardability.

FIG. 16 shows another example of the deformable layer 13-1, 2, 3 of FIG. 4. In this example, a weak elastic resin monofilament is used in place of lead as the material of the deformable layer 13-1. As the resin monofilament, it is preferable to use a monofilament which is elastically adjustable, such as a salt / carbon chain polymer monofilament used for fishing line and PP (polypropylene) monofilament, and whose self-frictional force is appropriately strong. . A large number of monofilaments extending in the longitudinal direction X extend in the transverse direction Y in a sine curve in one plane, and adjacent two monofilaments are aligned in the longitudinal direction X at overlapping positions by parallel displacement. ing . The two monofilaments intersect three-dimensionally in the valley portion and the peak portion of the sine curve, and frictionally surface-contact in the thickness direction Z and overlap each other. Such a net has a deformability that memorizes a plurality of shapes in which slippage and friction are provided as a mechanical structure.

The first valley portion 17-1 of the first monofilament 17 penetrates below the first peak portion 18-1 of the second monofilament 18, and the second valley portion 17-2 of the first monofilament 17 is the second mono filament 17. It extends in the longitudinal direction X beyond the upper side of the second peak portion 18-2 of the filament 18. The first peak portion 17-3 of the first monofilament 17 dives under the first valley portion 18-3 of the second monofilament 18, The second valley portion 17-4 of the first monofilament 17 extends in the longitudinal direction X beyond the upper side of the second peak portion 18-4 of the second monofilament 18.

The plurality of valley portions of the first monofilament 17 and the plurality of peak portions of the second monofilament 18 slide at two points respectively, and the plurality of peak portions of the first monofilament 17 and the second monofilament The 18 valleys slide at two points each. At the sliding portions, sliding friction occurs between the first monofilament 17 and the second monofilament 18. In the basic state in which the communication terminal device 10 maintains a planar form, the peak portion of the first monofilament 17 and the valley portion of the second monofilament 18 form a first closed ring 19 and the first monofilament 17 The valley portion and the peak portion of the second monofilament 18 form a second ring closure 21. In the basic state, a reference unit length, which is a reference distance between X-direction centers between two first closed rings 19 and second closed rings 21 adjacent in the longitudinal direction X, is represented by D.

In the deformable layer 13-1, 2, 3 of the present invention, a large number of first ring closures 19 and a large number of second ring closures 21 receive forces from directions unique to their positions, and are specified in probability distribution The two closed rings that are deformed and entangled in the three-dimensional direction shrink or expand, and the deformation force is accumulated as frictional energy between the two closed rings. For this reason, the frictional force of the deformed self-layered layers 13-1, 2 and 3 which are intertwined and generated effectively suppresses the restoration of the deformable layers 13-1 and 2 and 3 which are sufficiently larger than their restoring forces. It has shape characteristics that can be done. Thus, this deformation state can be stored.

[0031] FIG. 17 shows a modification of the multilayer structure shown in FIG. The first end region 1 and the second end region 6 are formed in a single layer in the thickness direction Z. The functional layer 7 and the circuit layer 8 of the operation area 2 are the same as the functional layer 7 and the circuit layer 8 described above in FIG. The deformation layer 9 is formed as a multilayer structure of a plurality of thin film resin layers 23 and a plurality of layers of the plastic thin film 14 shown in FIG. The plastic thin film 14 is sandwiched by the thin film resin layer 23. The lowermost thin resin layer 23 is also used as the protective support layer 11. The functional layer 7 and the circuit layer 8 in the first display screen area 3 are the same as the functional layer 7 and the circuit layer 8 described above in FIG. The deformation layer 9 of the first display screen area 3 is the same as the deformation layer 9 of the operation area 2. The deformable region 4 is formed as a composite laminated structure of a plurality of plastic thin films 14 and a plurality of thin film resin layers 23. The layered structure of the second display screen area 5 is the same as the layered structure of the first display screen area 3. Thus, the entire communication terminal 10 As a result, the variety of plastic deformation of the deformation layer 9 is improved.

[0032] FIG. 18 shows still another embodiment of a multilayer laminate structure that can be plastically deformed into various forms. It is formed of a common encapsulation end 24 at both ends, a plurality of encapsulation layers 25 and a jewel-like material layer 26. Both end surfaces of the encapsulation layer 25 and both end surfaces of the jewel-like material layer 26 are welded and joined to the encapsulation surface of the common encapsulation end 24. The jewel-like material layer 26 is hermetically sealed by being sandwiched between the upper encapsulation layer 25 and the lower encapsulation layer 25. Since the sum of the displacements of the plurality of encapsulation layers 25 is the displacement of the whole of the plurality of layers, the displacement of the single layer is small, and the restoring force that makes the displacement unreasonable is small.

FIG. 19 shows a communication terminal 10 according to another embodiment of the present invention. On the surface on the opposite side of the display screen side of the communication terminal device 10, two continuous uneven streaks continuous in the X direction are formed. The uneven strip is formed as the protective support layer 11, but is formed as the deformation layer 9 when the protective support layer 11 is not present. The uneven strip is formed as a first uneven strip 41 and a second uneven strip 42. The first concavo-convex strip 41 is formed in a convex shape in the X direction rear area (for example, the first end area 1 side) as shown in FIG. 20, and as shown in FIG. For example, the second end region 6 side is formed in a concave shape. The second concavo-convex strip 42 is formed in a concave shape in the X direction rear area (for example, the first end area 1 side) as shown in FIG. 20, and as shown in FIG. It is formed in a convex shape at the second end region 6 side). The first uneven strip 41 has a slope 43, as shown in FIG. The inclined surface 43 is thicker in the thickness direction Z at the rear in the X direction and thinner in the thickness direction Z at the front in the X direction. The inclined surface (not shown) of the second uneven strip 42 has a smaller thickness in the thickness direction Z at the rear in the X direction and a thicker thickness in the thickness direction Z at the front than the X direction. When the communication terminal device 10 is folded into a fold as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the X-direction rear portion (convex portion) of the first uneven-surface band 41 is the X-direction forward portion of the first uneven-surface band 41 The two parts are integrated by friction contact, and the X-direction forward part (convex part) of the second concavo-convex strip 42 is the X-direction rear part of the second concavo-convex strip 42 (concave part) The two parts are integrated by friction contact.

In the present embodiment, the display screen side of the first display screen area 3 or the second display screen area 5 is in the folded state in which the first uneven line band 41 and the second uneven line band 42 are respectively coupled to each other.

The first uneven stripe band 41 and the second uneven stripe band 42 continuous in the X direction facilitate bending of the communication terminal 10, in particular, bending including twisting. The communication terminal 10 in the folded state is closed in its entirety in an annular shape, so that it can retain its shape against vibration and immediately strengthen its eigenmorphology.

Also, unlike the present example, a plurality of support bands extending in the Y direction may be gathered to form a protective support layer. In this case, a plurality of support bands may contract like a bellows to absorb elongation and contraction.

[0035] FIG. 23 shows still another form for implementing the communication terminal device according to the present invention. In the embodiment described above, the dynamic realization used as the two-screen type is used as the four-screen type. The present embodiment is formed as a connected body of a combination of two communication terminal devices 10. The first communication terminal 10-1 and the second communication terminal 10-2 are connected by a hinged connection film 44. As a material of the hinged connection film 44, a PP (Polypropylene) film is suitable. The first communication terminal device 10-1 is composed of a first display screen area 3-1, a second display screen area 5-1 and a first operation area 2-1. The second communication terminal 10-2 includes a first display screen area 3-2, a second display screen area 5-2, and a second operation area 2-2. The flexible deformation and the intrinsic formability which are the physical properties of the deformable area 4 are mainly given to the first operation area 2-1 and the second operation area 2-2, respectively.

The operation area 2-2 of the second communication terminal device 10-2 is formed to be shorter in the longitudinal direction X than the operation area 2-1 of the first communication terminal device 10-1. The first communication terminal 10-1 and the second communication terminal 10-2 face each other with the longitudinal center line 45 of the hinged connection film 44 as a fold line so that the display surfaces face each other, and then If the first communication terminal device 10-1 and the second communication terminal device 10-2 are simultaneously deformed into a ring so that the horizontal direction wire 46 is wound around the horizontal direction wire 46, the first communication terminal device 10 can be obtained. The first communication terminal device 10-2 and the second communication terminal device 10-2 are realized as double rings in a state of being connected by the hinged connection film 44, as shown in FIG. In addition, in order to hold the ring state, the first display screen 3-1 and the second display screen 5-1 are displayed by the uneven fitting portion 49, and the first display screen 3-2 and the second display screen 5-2 are displayed. It is fitted respectively. This Such double rings are suitable as portable states.

In FIG. 25, the first communication terminal 10-1 and the second communication terminal 10-2 in the flat state shown in FIG. 23 are wound around the lateral direction line 46 so that the four display surfaces form the same plane. The first display screen area 3-1 and the second display screen area 5-1 and the second display screen area 5-1 and the second display screen area 5-2 Screens can be combined to form a single screen. The interdependence and interdependence of the four screens are as described above. In the combined screen state of FIG. 24, the gap between the first communication terminal 10-1 and the second communication terminal 10-2 corresponds to the first display screen area 3-1 and the first display screen area 3-2. It is canceled by close contact by the 1st uneven | corrugated fitting site | part 47 each formed, and the 2nd uneven | corrugated fitting area | region 48 each formed in 2nd display screen area 5-1 and 2nd display screen area 5-2. . Other relief fit sites 49 are used to hold the ring condition.
