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

On the other hand, in using the portable device, from the user's point of view, the user interface should be arranged at a convenient location and easy to operate. That is, the display device of the portable device should be large and convenient for viewing, and the keys should be easy to press in a quick and accurate operation because their key top is wide.

However, the conventional portable device has a problem to improve portability in pursuit of miniaturization and light weight. Considering this, there is a limit to mounting a wide display device having a large horizontal and vertical lengths, which are essentially mounted on the portable device. have. In practice, there is a problem in that the display device of the portable device cannot be enlarged indefinitely for the user. That is, the purpose of miniaturization of a portable device and the problem of enlargement of a display device are conflicted.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a portable device capable of providing a wide display device without increasing its overall size.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a portable device which is convenient to carry and can provide a wide display device.

In order to achieve the above objects, the present invention provides a display device of a portable device,

A fixed display device provided at a predetermined position of the main body; And

And a sliding display device mounted on the fixed display device to be stacked side by side to be exposed at all times and to open and close the fixed display device according to the sliding thereof.

In addition, the present invention is a display device of a portable device,

A fixed display device provided parallel to an upper surface of the main body and always exposed; And

The sliding display device is mounted to be stacked side by side under the fixed display device, and is opened and closed by the fixed display device according to the sliding thereof, and is disposed on the same plane as the upper surface of the fixed display device by the upward movement after the sliding movement. It is composed.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In describing the present invention, detailed descriptions of related well-known functions or configurations are omitted in order not to obscure the subject matter of the present invention. The portable device according to the present invention includes two display devices, and one of the two display devices is configured to move one display device to open and close the other display device and to be parallel to the other display device.
