Abstract

A terminal includes a front glass cover, a flexible-bendable display screen and a back cover. The front glass cover is formed of glass molding in a unibody, and includes: a front surface area covering a front surface of the terminal; and a first curved surface area, a second curved surface area, a third curved surface area and a fourth curved surface area respectively adjacent to the front surface area and respectively covering four sides of the terminal. The back cover is respectively connected to the first curved surface area, the second curved surface area, the third curved surface area and the fourth curved surface area. The flexible-bendable display screen is attached to an inner surface of the front glass cover, bent to each side surface of the terminal, bent for a second time at overlapping areas of sides of the terminal and covers the four sides and the overlapping areas.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A terminal comprising a front glass cover, a flexible-bendable display screen, and a back cover, wherein
the front glass cover is formed of glass molding in a unibody, and comprises: a front surface area covering a front surface of the terminal; and a first curved surface area, a second curved surface area, a third curved surface area, and a fourth curved surface area disposed adjacent to the front surface area, wherein
the first curved surface area, the second curved surface area, the third curved surface area and the fourth curved surface area respectively cover four sides of the terminal,
two adjacent curved surface areas are formed by glass molding in the unibody,
each curved surface area of the front glass cover is bent to a back surface of the terminal, and
the flexible-bendable display screen is bent to the back surface of the terminal;

the back cover includes four edge regions, each of which is respectively connected to the first curved surface area, the second curved surface area, the third curved surface area, and the fourth curved surface area; and
the flexible-bendable display screen is attached to an inner surface of the front glass cover, bent to each side surface of the terminal, bent for a second time at overlapping areas of sides of the terminal and covers the four sides of the terminal and the overlapping areas.

2. The terminal of claim 1 wherein the flexible-bendable display screen comprises: a flexible organic light emitting diode (OLED) screen.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of a front protective glass of the front glass cover comprises any one of the following shapes: a plane surface, a 2.5-dimensional curved surface, and a curved surface.

4. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the front glass cover comprises: inorganic glass.

5. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the front glass cover comprises: organic glass.

6. A terminal case, comprising:
a front glass cover and a back cover,
wherein the front glass cover is a glass molded in a unibody, the front glass cover comprising: a front surface area covering a front surface of the terminal; and a first curved surface area, a second curved surface area, a third curved surface area, and a fourth curved surface area disposed adjacent to the front surface area, wherein
the first curved surface area, the second curved surface area, the third curved surface area and the fourth curved surface area respectively cover four sides of the terminal,
two adjacent curved surface areas are formed by glass molding in the unibody, and
each curved surface area of the front glass cover is bent to a back surface of the terminal;

wherein the back cover comprises four edge regions, each of which is respectively connected to the first curved surface area, the second curved surface area, the third curved surface area, and the fourth curved surface area.

7. The terminal case according to claim 6 , wherein a shape of a front protective glass of the front glass cover comprises: a plane surface.

8. The terminal case according to claim 6 , wherein a shape of a front protective glass of the front glass cover comprises: a 2.5-dimensional curved surface.

9. The terminal case according to claim 6 , wherein a shape of a front protective glass of the front glass cover comprises: a curved surface.

10. The terminal case according to claim 6 , wherein a material of the front glass cover comprises: inorganic glass.

11. The terminal case according to claim 6 , wherein a material of the front glass cover comprises: organic glass.
