An intuitive operation of the device is not achieved by these U-shaped areas of the screen.
  • US 2003/0214612 A1 likewise discloses a screen which can be used in a mobile telephone, which is constructed from a plurality of individual layers which are held together by a structural element in such a way that they can shift relative to one another in order to obtain a flexibly deformable screen ,

Due to the flexibility of the film, this also results in a flexibly formable screen with which, for example, even curved display surfaces can be achieved. Due to its structure free of glass, it is also characterized by a thin design and low weight. In particular, with this OLED technology, flexible displays can be provided which yield elastically under pressure so as to simulate pressure points of switches.

  • Object of the present invention is to propose a mobile terminal of the type mentioned, which facilitates the operation by at least for individual functions, the type of operation the user regardless of a graphical representation on the screen is suggested, so that the execution of these functions can be initiated in an intuitive way. Furthermore, a corresponding method for operating such a terminal should be specified.

  • the recipient area defining the receiving address of a person or a group of people is assigned, which is stored in a, in particular in the terminal existing phone book file. Then, with regard to an intuitive operation, it is further advantageous if, as far as possible, self-explanatory and immediately recognizable data are displayed in a receiver area whose position is indicated or defined by the shape of the screen surface. It is particularly advantageous if an image of the person or persons is stored in connection with the receiving address, which can be displayed in the recipient area.
