Claim 13:
14. A mobile terminal, comprising:
a first housing;
a second housing;
a flexible display; and
a hinge, wherein the first housing and the second housing capable of being relatively folding and unfolding via the hinge, wherein the hinge comprises:
a main body,
a first folding assembly disposed on a first side of the main body, wherein the first folding assembly comprises:
a first swing link,
a first swing arm having one end rotatably connected to the main body and the other end rotatably connected to the first swing link,
a first driven arm having one end rotatably connected to the main body and the other end slidably connected to the first swing link, wherein a rotation axis of the first driven arm relative to the main body and a rotation axis of the first swing arm relative to the main body are parallel to each other, and wherein the rotation axis of the first swing arm relative to the main body is closer to the flexible screen than the rotation axis of the first driven arm relative to the main body, and
a first support plate rotatably connected to the first swing link and slidably connected to the first driven arm, and

a second folding assembly disposed on a second side of the main body, wherein the second folding assembly comprises:
a second swing link,
a second swing arm having one end rotatably connected to the main body and the other end rotatably connected to the second swing link,
a second driven arm having one end rotatably connected to the main body and the other end slidably connected to the second swing link, wherein a rotation axis of the second driven arm relative to the main body and a rotation axis of the second swing arm relative to the main body are parallel to each other, and wherein the rotation axis of the second swing arm relative to the main body is closer to the flexible screen than the rotation axis of the second driven arm relative to the main body, and
a second support plate rotatably connected to the second swing link and slidably connected to the second driven arm,
wherein during folding of the hinge, the first swing link rotates clockwise and the second swing link rotates counterclockwise, the first swing link drives the first driven arm to rotate, the first swing link slides relative to the first driven arm in a direction away from the main body, the second swing link drives the second driven arm to rotate, and the second swing link slides relative to the second driven arm in a direction away from the main body to increase a length of the hinge; and the first support plate rotates clockwise relative to the first swing link, and the second support plate rotates counterclockwise relative to the second swing link, such that the first support plate, the second support plate and the main body form an accommodation space, and
wherein the first housing is fixedly connected to the first swing link, and the second housing is fixedly connected to the second swing link; and the flexible display covers one side of the first housing, the second housing, the first support plate, the second support plate, and the main body; a part of the flexible display is fixedly connected to the first housing, and a part of the flexible display is fixedly connected to the second housing.
