According to the conventional folder / slide combined mobile phone 1, the folder / slide switching structure of the display unit 3 can be simplified.

However, even in the conventional folder / slide combined mobile phone 1 as described above, there is no horizontal viewing service related to DMB, and as the function buttons provided in the main body 2 are arranged in a vertical direction unlike a computer keyboard, the user is familiar with the user. There is a limit that you can not go. If the horizontal view of the display unit 3 is larger than the vertical size in order to solve the problem that the horizontal view service is not provided, the horizontal view may be possible, due to the characteristics of the sliding guides 4a and 4b. The horizontal size is also inevitably larger than the vertical size corresponding to the horizontal size of the display unit 3, in this case, there is a limit that the simple call function, which is an inherent advantage of the slide-type mobile phone, is inferior.

The present invention was created to solve the above problems, while retaining the inherent advantages of a slide-type mobile phone, it is possible to view a game or a DMB-related video horizontally and the function buttons are arranged horizontally so that the user can use it conveniently and intimately. It is an object of the present invention to provide a coupling device of a mobile phone that can rotate and slide.
