FOLDABLE-DISPLAY TYPE PORTABLE TERMINAL

A foldable-display type portable terminal has a flexible display mounted thereon and can be folded and unfolded by an external force. The portable terminal includes a body having a first panel, an adjacent second panel, and a hinge part between and connecting the first and second panels, permitting the first and second panels to rotate with respect to each other. A flexible display on the upper surface of the body folds with the first and second panels when the first and second panels are folded about the hinge part. In one alternative, a support member beneath the flexible display covers the upper part of the hinge part and supports the lower part of the flexible display. In another alternative, a support rotatably installed at the body is arranged inside the body and folded at the upper part of the flexible display when the first and second panels are folded.
