BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to digital communication devices including cellular phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), hand-held phones (HHPs), camera phones, game phones, Internet phones, and the like. A digital communication device.

The term “portable communication device” of a conventional concept refers to an electronic device that a user can carry out wireless communication with a counterpart while carrying. Such portable communication devices have been trending toward miniaturization, slimness, grip, and light weight in consideration of portability, and are moving toward a multi-mediaization direction to pursue more various functions. In particular, more and more portable terminals will be used for miniaturization, light weight, multifunction, and versatility, and will be modified to adapt to various multimedia environments or the Internet environment. In addition, the portable terminal is an electronic device commonly used anywhere in the world, men and women, and is being recognized as a necessity to carry around at all times.

Conventional portable communication devices are classified into various types in appearance. For example, portable communication devices are classified as bar-type, flip-type, or folder-type communication devices depending on their appearance. The bar-type communication device means that the single housing is configured as a bar-type, the flip-type communication device means that the flip is rotatably configured by the hinge device in the bar-type housing, the folder-type communication device is It is meant that the folder in a single bar-shaped housing is configured to be rotatably connected and folded by a hinge device.

In addition, portable communication devices may be classified into either a neck wearable type or a wrist wear type according to a wearable position or a manner of wearing. A necklace-type communication device refers to a portable method of wearing a terminal around a neck using a string, and a wrist-wear type communication device refers to a portable method of wearing a terminal around a wrist.

In addition, the portable communication device may be classified into a rotation-type or sliding-type communication device according to an opening and closing method. The rotation-type communication device means that the two housings are rotatably connected and opened while remaining facing each other, and the sliding-type communication device means that the two housings are opened and closed by sliding movement in the longitudinal direction. it means. The variously classified communication devices listed above will be readily understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.

In addition, conventional portable communication apparatuses are being converted into structures capable of communicating high-speed data in addition to voice communication functions. That is, as the needs of consumers increase, the service will be provided using a wireless communication technology that transmits high speed data.

Currently, camera lenses have been adopted in conventional portable communication devices, and transmission of video signals and the like has been made. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In general, portable communication devices have been equipped with a camera lens module as an external type or a built-in type to perform a video call with a counterpart or photograph a desired subject.

However, among the conventional portable communication devices, the sliding type portable communication device disclosed in the application number 2002-71911 filed by the present applicant is capable of sliding movement only in one direction, and only one rotatable camera lens is mounted. There was a problem inconvenient to use. That is, the conventional sliding type portable communication device has a structure in which the sliding housing is slidable only in one direction, which is disadvantageous in miniaturization or slimming of the main body.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a portable device that is convenient to be used in the camera mode because the first and second camera lenses are respectively installed on the upper and lower surfaces of the main body so that one camera lens is selectively used according to the mode switching.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a portable device that is provided with first and second sliding housings sliding in both directions so that the selected sliding housing is used, which is convenient for the user and minimizes the body size from the manufacturer's point of view. Is in.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a portable device that can be protected by the first sliding housing from external environment, in particular, intrusion of foreign matter, breakage phenomenon caused by falling, and contamination of the foreign matter when two mounted camera lenses are not used. In providing.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a sliding type portable digital communication device,

A main body having an upper surface, a bottom surface and a side surface; A display device mounted on an upper surface of the main body, the display device including a first display area that is always open and a second display area that is selectively open;
