Electronic apparatus including flexible display
An electronic apparatus according to example embodiments may include a flexible display, a frame part configured to support the flexible display, and a rear cover attached to an outer surface of the frame part to cover at least a portion of the frame part, wherein the rear cover is disposed to be detachable from the frame part based on an electrical signal. Other various embodiments are also possible.
1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a flexible display;
a frame part configured to support the flexible display;
a rear cover coupled to an outer surface of the frame part to cover at least a portion of the frame part and comprising a hook on one surface thereof facing the frame part, wherein the rear cover is configured to be decoupled from the frame part based on an electrical signal;
a first element having two end portions fixed to the frame part and configured to be extended or contracted based on the electrical signal;
a second element coupled to the first element and configured to move in a first direction in accordance with a contraction of the first element; and
a third element having two end portions fixed to the frame part, pressurized in accordance with the contraction of the first element, and configured to cause the second element to move in a second direction opposite the first direction when the first element is extended,
wherein the second element is further configured to be:
in a state in which the second element is moved in the second direction and engaged with the hook to couple the rear cover to the frame part; or
in a state in which the second element is moved in the first direction and disengaged from the hook to decouple the rear cover from the frame part.
2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the frame part comprises:
a first frame; and
a second frame configured to slidably move relative to the first frame in response to a change in shape of the flexible display,
wherein the rear cover is coupled to an outer surface of the second frame.
3. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first element is:
contracted in response to the electrical signal being received; and
extended in response to the electrical signal being released.
4. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the frame part comprises a guide rail configured to guide a path along which the second element moves in the first direction or the second direction.
5. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the flexible display is located between the frame part and the rear cover.
6. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the rear cover includes a substantially transparent material such that an image displayed on the flexible display is viewable through the rear cover.
7. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a flexible display comprising:
a first area configured to display an image on a front side of the electronic apparatus;
a second area configured to display an image on a rear side of the electronic apparatus; and
a third area positioned between the first area and the second area, wherein a position of the third area is changeable;
a frame part comprising a first frame supporting at least a portion of the first area and a second frame supporting the second area;
a rear cover coupled to the second frame on the rear side of the electronic apparatus, and configured to be decoupled from the second frame based on an electrical signal, wherein the rear cover comprises a hook on one surface thereof facing the frame part;
a first element having two end portions fixed to the frame part and configured to be extended or contracted based on the electrical signal;
a second element coupled to the first element and configured to move in a first direction in accordance with a contraction of the first element; and
a third element having two end portions fixed to the frame part, pressurized in accordance with the contraction of the first element, and configured to cause the second element to move in a second direction opposite the first direction when the first element is extended,
wherein the second element is further configured to be:
in a state in which the second element is moved in the second direction and engaged with the hook to couple the rear cover to the frame part; or
in a state in which the second element is moved in the first direction and disengaged from the hook to decouple the rear cover from the frame part.
