Abstract
A mobile terminal includes a first frame, a second frame movable from the first frame in a first direction, a third frame movable in the first direction with respect to the second frame, a flexible display including a first region coupled to the first frame, a second region coupled to the third frame, and a third region bendably disposed between the first region and the second region, and a display frame bendably coupled to a rear surface of the third region. The second frame includes a side portion positioned facing in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and a guide rail formed on the side portion. The display frame has a guide hook inserted into the guide rail. Even when the display is extended, the mobile terminal keeps the display flat such that the display unit is prevented from being separated or sagged from the frame.
