Abstract

A mobile communication terminal includes a thin AWD (arrayed waveguide display) and a winding device to roll up the display to store the display in a housing. A storage medium on which a content is copied is installed in the mobile terminal. The user pulls the display from the housing to enjoy the content. There is provided a mobile terminal, a content distribution system, a content distribution method, and a program for executing the method thereof. The mobile terminal satisfies a requirement to increase the display area and a requirement to minimize the size of the mobile terminal, and hence can distribute contents using the advantageous features.
