Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a mobile terminal display structure and a mobile terminal. The display structure may include: a terminal housing; a display module, including a display screen and a glass panel attached to the display screen; wherein the glass panel has a touch region and extension regions bending and extending along both lateral sides of the touch region, an exterior surface of each extension region being located in a same plane with a corresponding edge of the terminal housing. The mobile terminal display structure according to the present disclosure is provided with the glass panel which at least covers both the lateral sides of the whole front surface thereof, and at least the packaging regions on both the lateral sides of the display screen are bended and extended into the housing. A real visual frameless design for the mobile terminal is achieved, while the screen occupying proportion is increased.

First claim

1 . A mobile terminal display structure comprising:
a terminal housing; and a display module, including a display screen and a glass panel attached to the display screen, wherein the glass panel includes
a touch region including one or more lateral sides,
one or more extension regions along one or more lateral sides of the touch region, bending downwards, and
an exterior surface of each of the one or more extension regions located in a same plane with a corresponding edge of the terminal housing.

2 . The mobile terminal display structure of claim 1 , wherein one or more extension regions are perpendicular to the touch region.

3 . The mobile terminal display structure of claim 1 , wherein for each of the one or more extension regions, an area of the extension region projected on the terminal housing does not go beyond an area of the touch region projected on the terminal housing.

4 . The mobile terminal display structure of claim 1 , wherein the display screen comprises:
a display region configured to display an image, including one or more side edges; and a packaging region along a periphery of the display region and bended downward.

5 . The mobile terminal display structure of claim 4 , wherein a distance between an outer edge of the packaging region and a corresponding outer edge of the one or more extension regions equals to a thickness of the one or more extension regions.

6 . The mobile terminal display structure of claim 4 , wherein one or more packaging regions are perpendicular to the display region.

7 . The mobile terminal display structure of claim 4 , wherein an area of the packaging region projected on the terminal housing does not go beyond the projection of the display region on the terminal housing.

8 . The mobile terminal display structure of claim 4 , wherein the terminal housing further comprises a recess to receive the packaging region.

9 . The mobile terminal display structure of claim 1 , wherein the display screen comprises a flexible liquid crystal display.

10 . A mobile terminal comprising a mobile terminal display structure according to claim 1 .

11 . A mobile terminal display structure comprising:
a terminal housing; and a display module, including a display screen and a glass panel attached to the display screen, wherein the glass panel includes
a touch region including one or more lateral sides,
an extension region along a periphery of the touch region and bending downwards, and
an exterior surface of the extension region located in a same plane with a corresponding edge of the terminal housing.

12 . The mobile terminal display structure of claim 1 , wherein one or more extension regions are perpendicular to the touch region.

13 . The mobile terminal display structure of claim 11 , wherein an area of the touch region projected on the terminal housing overlaps a periphery of the terminal housing.

14 . The mobile terminal display structure of claim 13 , wherein the display screen comprises:
a display region configured to display an image; and a packaging region extending along a periphery of the display region and bending downward.

15 . The mobile terminal display structure of claim 14 , wherein a distance between an outer edge of the packaging region and a corresponding outer edge of the extension region equals to a thickness of the extension region.

16 . The mobile terminal display structure of claim 14 , wherein one or more packaging regions are perpendicular to the display region.

17 . The mobile terminal display structure of claim 14 , wherein an area of the packaging region projected on the terminal housing does not go beyond the projection of the display region on the terminal housing.

18 . The mobile terminal display structure of claim 17 , wherein the terminal housing further comprises a recess to receive the packaging region.

19 . The mobile terminal display structure of claim 11 , wherein the display screen comprises a flexible liquid crystal display.

20 . A mobile terminal comprising a mobile terminal display structure according to claim 11 .
