Abstract

A cellular phone capable of observing a background. The cellular phone includes a first main body and a second main body slidably connected to the first main body. A display is provided to the second main body. The display is divided into a first area that is not overlapped with the first main body when the second main body is slidably open, and a second area that is overlapped with the first main body when the second main body is slidably open. In the cellular phone, the first area has first pixels formed into a transparent structure in which a background is observed, and the second area has second pixels formed into a non-transparent structure in which the background is not observed.

Claims (32)

1. A cellular phone, comprising:

a first main body;

a second main body slidably connected to the first main body; and

a display provided to the second main body, the display being divided into a first area that is not overlapped with the first main body when the second main body is slidably open, and a second area that is overlapped with the first main body when the second main body is slidably open,

the first area comprising first pixels formed into a transparent structure in which a background is observed through the first pixels, and the second area comprising second pixels formed into a non-transparent structure in which the background is not observed.

2. The cellular phone according to claim 1 , wherein:

at least one of the first pixels is positioned in a pixel area defined by a scan line, a data line and a power line; and

the pixel area has a first section in which transistors, and anode electrode and a light emitting layer are formed, and a second section in which only a transparent insulating layer is formed.

3. The cellular phone according to claim 2 , wherein the second section is set to have a narrower area than the first section.

4. The cellular phone according to claim 2 , wherein the anode electrode formed in the second section is overlapped with the scan line and the power line, and the light emitting layer is overlapped with the scan line.

5. The cellular phone of claim 2 , wherein the first section is non-transparent and the second section is transparent to allow a user to view an image behind a backside of the second main body by looking through the second section.

6. The cellular phone of claim 2 , wherein the second section is absent of the light emitting layer and the anode electrode.

7. The cellular phone according to claim 1 , wherein, when the second main body is not slidably open, an area overlapped with the first area in the first main body is set as black.

8. The cellular phone according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the second pixels is positioned in a pixel area defined by a scan line, a data line and a power line, and transistors, an anode electrode and a light emitting layer are formed in the pixel area.

9. The cellular phone of claim 1 , wherein the user can look through the first area and observe an object on a back side of the first area from a front of the first area of the second main body when the second main body is slidably open.

10. The cellular phone of claim 1 , wherein the second area comprises an organic light emitting display.

11. A cellular phone, comprising:

a first main body;

a second main body slidably connected to the first main body; and

a display provided to the second main body, the display being divided into a first area that is not overlapped with the first main body when the second main body is slidably open, and a second area that is overlapped with the first main body when the second main body is slidably open,

the first area comprising second pixels formed into a non-transparent structure in which a background is not observed, and the second area comprising first pixels formed into a transparent structure in which the background is observed through the first pixels.

12. The cellular phone according to claim 11 , wherein:

at least one of the first pixels is positioned in a pixel area defined by a scan line, a data line and a power line; and

the pixel area has a first section in which transistors, and anode electrode and a light emitting layer are formed, and a second section in which only a transparent insulating layer is formed.

13. The cellular phone according to claim 12 , wherein the second section is set to have a narrower area than the first section.

14. The cellular phone according to claim 12 , wherein the anode electrode formed in the second section is overlapped with the scan line and the power line, and the light emitting layer is overlapped with the scan line.

15. The cellular phone of claim 12 , wherein the first section is non-transparent and the second section is transparent to allow a user to view an image behind a backside of the second main body by looking through the second section.

16. The cellular phone of claim 12 , wherein the second section is absent of the light emitting layer and the anode electrode.

17. The cellular phone according to claim 11 , wherein, when the second main body is not slidably open, an area overlapped with the second area in the first main body is set as black.

18. The cellular phone according to claim 11 , wherein, when the second main body is slidably open, the shape of predetermined function keys is shown in an area overlapped with the second area in the first main body.

19. The cellular phone according to claim 11 , wherein at least one of the second pixels is positioned in a pixel area defined by a scan line, a data line and a power line, and transistors, an anode electrode and a light emitting layer are formed in the pixel area.

20. The cellular phone of claim 11 , wherein the user can look through the second area and observe an object on a back side of the second area from a front of the second area of the second main body when the second main body is slidably open.
