As a medium for transmitting video information, portable terminals such as mobile phones or PDAs with cameras have been developed and spread. The camera mounted on the portable terminal is in accordance with general camera principles, and includes an image sensor module having an image sensor that receives light from an external light source and recognizes the image as an image.

In addition, in order to satisfy various needs of consumers, for example, the macro function of the lens that can change the lens focus manually and take a short distance or the digital zoom function that can enlarge a specific part of the image are becoming important functions.

In addition, the flash function that allows shooting in the dark or at night is a function that is already common in analog and digital cameras, and it is essential to mount it even in the case of a portable terminal with a camera.

Therefore, a portable terminal capable of transmitting information such as a video by performing a camera function as well as an original communication function includes an image pickup device module for recognizing an image and an LED as means for emitting light to a subject so that the subject can be photographed at night. It is required.

1 is a perspective view of a conventional portable terminal having a camera equipped with an image pickup device module and an LED and performing a flash function, and FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b) are schematic views of the image pickup device module according to FIG. And (c) and (d) are schematic and sectional views of the LED according to FIG.

Referring to FIG. 1, a portable terminal 1 equipped with a conventional camera includes a camera 2 having an imaging device module 10 for capturing an image, and an LED that emits light so as to serve as a flash during night photography. 20) are mounted respectively.

Here, in the image pickup device module built in the camera 2, the image pickup device module 10 is connected to the image pickup device module connector 17 through the FPC 16 as schematically shown in Fig. 2 (a). . More specifically, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the imaging device module 10 includes a housing 11 having a space part 12 formed in the center thereof; An imaging lens 13 mounted on an upper portion of the housing 11 for focusing an image; It consists of a printed circuit board (PCB) 15 supporting the housing 11 and mounted with an image sensor 14 on a central upper surface thereof, and is connected to an image sensor module connector 17 through an FPC 16. The connector 17 is connected to the motherboard of the portable terminal, not shown.

In addition, a light emitting diode (LED) 20 is a diode that emits excess energy as light when electrons or holes injected by using a pn junction structure of a semiconductor are recombined. The characteristics of the semiconductor include processing speed, power consumption, and lifespan. It is showing great advantages in various aspects, and it plays a role of lighting fixture as high brightness products are produced.

This LED 20 is electrically fixed by soldering light on the PCB 23 as schematically shown in Fig. 2 (c), the PCB 23 is connected to the connector 25 for the LED through the connection wire 24 ) More specifically, as shown in Fig. 2 (d), the LED contains a chip (not shown) that emits light when a current is applied therein, and on one side, a cathode made of a conductive metal material for applying current to the chip. A lead 21 and an anode lead 22 are provided. The cathode lead 21 and the anode lead 22 are electrically fixed on the PCB 23 by soldering lights, and the LED 20 is connected to the LED connector 25 through the connection wire 24. On the other hand, the LED connector 25 is also connected to the motherboard of the portable terminal (1).

In this way, an electrical signal is applied to the PCB 15 on which the image sensor 14 is mounted on the motherboard of the mobile terminal 1 via the image pickup device module connector 17 and the FPC 16. In response to the signal, the image sensor 14 recognizes an image of the subject.

In addition, when a flash such as night photography is required, a flash signal through the LED connector 25 and the connection wire 24 is applied from the motherboard of the portable terminal to the PCB 23, and the LED 20 is applied by the applied signal. ) Emits light toward the front. Since the subject is emitted by the LED 20, the subject can be captured at night through the imaging device module 10.

However, the portable terminal 1 with the conventional camera configured as described above is a medium for transmitting an electrical signal to each of the imaging device module 10 and the LED 20, and the connector 17 for the imaging device module and the LED Since the connectors 25 are separately required, it is difficult to arrange two connectors inside the portable terminal due to the space occupied by the connector 17 for the imaging device module 17 and the connector 25 for the LED.

In addition, the camera module embedded in the portable terminal has a problem that the volume of the portable terminal is increased because it needs to accommodate the two connectors (17, 25), the problem of the increase in the manufacturing cost over each connector is required inevitably Was caused by.

On the other hand, Figure 3 is a portable terminal (folder) in which the main body is folded in half, the camera 32 is attached to the camera hinge portion 31, the camera 32 is rotated by the rotation of the camera hinge portion 31 ( 30 is partially shown. For reference, since the portable terminal 30 to which the camera 31 rotates can photograph the camera 32 in the direction of the subject only by the rotation of the camera hinge 31, the portable terminal 30 itself can be directed toward the subject. It has the advantage of not having to move.

Here, as shown and described above, even in the case of the portable terminal 30, the camera hinge portion 31 provided with a narrow space is required because the imaging device module connector and the LED connector are separately required and restricted in space. Only a camera 32 having an image pickup device module for picking up an image is mounted, and an LED 33 emitting light to a subject is mounted in a portion other than the camera hinge portion 31 (folding hinge portion in FIG. 3). There was no choice but to be. Therefore, when the camera hinge portion 31 is rotated automatically or manually according to the position of the subject, the camera 32 having the imaging device module mounted on the camera hinge portion 31 may be rotated by the camera hinge portion 31. Although it could be rotated integrally to capture the subject, the LED 33 cannot be mounted on the camera hinge portion 31, so that the LED 33 is fixed regardless of the rotation of the camera hinge portion 31 on which the image pickup device module is mounted. Bar, there is a problem that the direction of the LED 33 can not match the direction of the camera (that is, the direction of the position of the subject). After all, in the case of night photography in which the subject is photographed by the flash of the LED 33, the camera hinge 31 has to be rotated in the direction of the subject after the LED 33 is directed in the direction of the subject. There was a problem in that it could not enjoy the technical benefits of the device that the subject can be easily photographed by only rotating the hinge part 31.

Even if the image pickup device module connector 17 and the LED connector 25 are embedded in the camera hinge portion 31 at the same time, due to the narrow space constraints of the camera hinge portion 31, the arrangement is difficult and is difficult to assemble. There was a problem with the waste of time and manpower required.
