We investigate the property of the hadron-quark mixed phase using the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock model for hadron (hyperon) phase and the MIT bag model for quark phase. To satisfy the Gibbs conditions, charge density as well as baryon number density becomes non-uniform in the mixed phase, accompanying phase separation. We clarify the roles of the surface tension and the charge screening effect. We show that the screened Coulomb interaction tends to make the geometrical structure of the mixed phase less stable, and the resultant EOS becomes similar to the one given by the Maxwell construction. The composition of the mixed phase, however, is very different from that of the Maxwell construction; in particular, hyperons are completely suppressed in the mixed phase, because hadron phase is positively charged. This is a novel mechanism of hyperon suppression in compact stars.
