In general, the term “portable communication device” refers to a device that a user can carry and perform wireless communication with a counterpart. Such portable communication devices are referred to as HHP, CT-2 cellular phones, digital phones, PCS phones and PDAs, and are classified into various types in appearance. For example, wireless terminals are classified into bar-type, flip-type, or folder-type wireless terminals according to their appearance. Bar-type wireless terminal means that a single housing is configured as a bar-type, flip-type wireless terminal means that the flip or cover is rotatably configured by a hinge device in the bar-type housing, folder-type wireless The terminal means that the folder is configured to be rotatably connected to the single bar-type housing by a hinge device and to be folded. In addition, the portable terminal may be classified into a neck wearable type or a wrist wearable type according to a body wearing position or a wearing method. A necklace-type wireless terminal refers to a portable method of wearing a terminal around a neck using a string, and a wrist-type wireless terminal refers to a portable method of wearing a terminal to a wrist. In addition, the wireless terminal may be classified into a rotation-type or sliding-type wireless terminal according to the opening and closing method. The rotatable-type wireless terminal means that two housings are rotatably connected and opened while facing each other, and the sliding-type wireless terminal is a state in which one of the two housings faces in a longitudinal sliding movement. It means to open and close. The variously classified wireless terminals listed above will be readily understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. Meanwhile, the above-mentioned conventional portable terminals are essentially provided with an antenna device, a data input / output device, and a data transmission / reception device. Of course, the data input device is commonly used as a keypad for inputting data mainly by a finger pressing operation, a touch pad or a touch screen is also used.

In addition, the data display function according to the data output device is commonly used LCD (LCD).

In addition, in the conventional portable communication device for a video call, the photographing means includes a camera lens, through which a video call with the other party or a desired subject can be taken.

Here, the folder-type wireless terminal has a folder form employing a dual LCD that simply displays, or the sliding type wireless terminal 10 has a main body adopting a single form of LCD.

However, the LCDs of the terminals have developed smaller as the terminals have become smaller, and the change from the early black-and-white LCD to the current color LCD has revolutionized the terminals as the TV has been developed. The use of terminals has advanced from the concept of mobile phones in the past to the level of a computer with more functions attached to it and now capable of carrying with it.

The user of the terminal has a desire to implement more functions with his terminal, and the developer has a desire to implement more functions with his terminal, and according to the desire, the developers still have many desires. In this part, we are working to implement various functions of the terminal. Among the basic functions of the current terminal, there is a simple voice call, but thanks to the great development of mobile communication technology, a terminal that supports the transmission of more data, not just a call function, has been commercialized. Media features have emerged as a requirement for handset users.

As a result, the terminal has advanced to a terminal having a high quality and a high processing speed for providing a better multimedia service. In this process, the LCD, which is a major part of the output portion of the terminal, has been developed to have high quality and color.

However, in the dual folder method used in this series of processes, by using two LCDs, the external LCD has only limited functions such as a simple external clock, which is inefficient. In case of not using it, it is not only inefficient to use, but also wastes power. In the case of dual folder with more than two external output devices, the terminal itself has higher specification and the use of various supported operating modes is proposed. There was this.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to configure a small LCD and a large LCD to selectively use in a portable communication device, thereby improving the use of the product. It is to provide a portable communication device.

Another object of the present invention is to configure a small LCD and a large LCD in a portable communication device by configuring a switch key to be selectively used by the user according to the function, it is possible to prevent the waste of power due to the use of the product In addition, the present invention provides a portable communication device that can be utilized as a variety of operation mode functions that can be supported as the terminal specifications increase.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a portable communication device configured to prevent the exposure to the outside of the LCD by preventing the exposure to the outside of the LCD by configuring each of the LCD in the terminal according to the rotation of the hinge device portable communication To provide a device.

In order to achieve the above object, another embodiment of the present invention, in the sliding type portable communication device comprising a main housing and a sliding housing provided to slide by a predetermined length in the longitudinal direction of the housing on the main housing,
