In general, in a mobile terminal, a display module displays information processed by the mobile terminal. For example, when the mobile terminal is in a call mode, a user interface (UI) or a graphical user interface (GUI) related to a call is displayed.
그리고 이동 단말기가 화상 통화 모드 또는 촬영 모드인 경우 촬영 또는/및 수신된 영상 또는 UI, GUI 를 표시한다. 상기 디스플레이 모듈은 액정 디스플레이(liquid crystal display), 박막 트랜지스터 액정 디스플레이(thin film transistor-liquid crystal display), 유기 발광 다이오드(organic light-emitting diode), 플렉시블 디스플레이(flexible display), 3차원 디스플레이(3D display) 등으로 구성될 수 있다.In addition, when the mobile terminal is in a video call mode or a photographing mode, a photographed or/and received image, UI or GUI is displayed. The display module includes a liquid crystal display, a thin film transistor-liquid crystal display, an organic light-emitting diode, a flexible display, and a 3D display. ), etc.
그 중에서 플렉시블 디스플레이(flexible display)(또는 플렉시블 LCD)는 모양을 마음대로 변형할 수 있다는 장점 때문에 현재 그 연구가 본격화되고 있다. 하지만, 현재 공상영화에서 보여주는 것처럼 완전히 종이와 같은 디스플레이를 두루마리처럼 가지고 다니기까지는 앞으로 많은 시간이 걸릴 것으로 보여진다.Among them, a flexible display (or flexible LCD) is currently being studied in earnest because of the advantage of being able to change its shape at will. However, it seems that it will take a lot of time in the future to carry a completely paper-like display like a scroll, as shown in current science fiction films.
따라서, 플렉시블 디스플레이의 개발이 진행되어 사용이 본격적으로 활성화되기 전까지는 과도기적 형태가 많이 사용될 것이며 이 형태는 현재의 단말기 구조와 크게 다르지 않을 것이다. 또한, 현재 개발되고 있는 플렉시블 디스플레이가 이동 단말기에 사용될 때 그 사용 형태 및 그 보호방법에 대하여 기술할 필요성이 대두된다.Therefore, until the development of the flexible display is in progress and its use is activated in earnest, a transitional form will be used a lot, and this form will not differ much from the current terminal structure. In addition, when the currently developed flexible display is used in a mobile terminal, the necessity of describing the usage type and the protection method thereof arises.
