The present invention includes a plurality of rotatable lenses and mirrors, each of which can adjust the focal length when rotating through the wrong lens, the mirror also has the same viewing angle according to the focal length of the lens The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal having a camera configured to facilitate shooting.

In general, a mobile communication terminal is a mobile communication device for a user in a location separated from each other to communicate through a base station. Recently, due to the rapid development of the electronic communication industry, mobile communication terminals have been added with various designs and additions of new functions, and the functions of the mobile communication terminals have been gradually expanded to enable the transmission of text messages and various information as well as internet access. It is also possible to transmit video calls or image information.

The spread of such mobile communication terminals has become widespread in general, and in particular, in recent years, a mobile communication terminal having a camera capable of capturing a photograph or video of a subject and storing the image data thereof, and then editing, transmitting and deleting them as necessary. The trend is spreading rapidly.

In addition, recently, a camera module capable of optical zoom and a mega-class camera module supporting high resolution have been introduced, and the quality of the captured video has also been improved, and a camera for capturing one's own image, objects, and others is also available. There are many mobile communication terminals equipped with.

Hereinafter, a conventional mobile communication terminal will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a perspective view showing a mobile communication terminal having a conventional camera.

As shown in FIG. 1, the main body 10 is formed in an enclosure type to enable the embedding of various electronic devices to perform functions of a mobile communication terminal, and includes a lens 11 and a mirror 12 for photographing to the rear side. do.

However, since the focal length of the lens is fixed to the mobile communication terminal having the conventional camera shown in FIG. 1, the disadvantage of the distance between the object and the mobile communication terminal must be adjusted in order to enlarge or reduce the object. have.

In addition, the length of the user's arm during self-shooting is limited, the focus and viewing angle of the lens and the mirror is fixed, there is a problem that the range of taking a picture to take a self-camera is limited.

In the case of digital cameras, a zoom is used to adjust the distance of the lens from the inside of the camera. Since this needs to be changed intricately, there are many problems in applying to a mobile communication terminal lacking an internal surplus space.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional mobile communication terminal, and includes a plurality of lenses and mirrors having respective focal lengths and viewing angles, and thus the lenses and mirrors having the same focal length and viewing angle. To provide a mobile communication terminal having a camera configured to expose a set of lenses and mirrors to the outside when rotating in a pair.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a mobile communication terminal having a liquid crystal display for outputting an image, a transmitter / receiver unit for input / output of voice, and a keypad for inputting a signal. A main body having an opening and having a lens exposure portion and a mirror exposure portion at a rear side thereof, and having an insertion hole rotatably coupled to the rotating shaft, and having one side half portion having a plurality of mirrors having different viewing angles, the mirror Opposite side of the half is characterized in that it comprises a camera unit having a plurality of lenses having different focal lengths.

When the camera unit rotates, a mirror having a viewing angle corresponding to the focal length of the lens exposed through the lens exposure unit is exposed to the outside through the mirror exposure unit.

The main body is provided with an elastic member, the outer circumferential surface of the camera portion corresponding to the elastic member is configured to include a stop groove, and between the stop groove further comprises an uneven portion.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings such that those skilled in the art may easily implement the present invention.

2 is an exploded perspective view showing an exploded state of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention, Figure 3 is a perspective view showing a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

2 to 3, the mobile communication terminal A according to the present invention is largely divided into a main body 100 and a camera unit 200.

The main body 100 is formed in a housing type to enable the embedding of various electronic devices that perform the functions of the mobile communication terminal, and a liquid crystal screen (not shown) for outputting various image information is provided on the front surface.

In addition, the upper surface of the main body 100 is provided with a keypad (not shown) for the input of numbers and characters, and a transmitter (not shown) and a receiver for inputting and outputting voice to one side of the keypad (not shown). (Not shown) is provided. In addition, the back of the main body 100 is detachably coupled to the battery 106 for power supply of the mobile communication terminal. An antenna (not shown) is provided for transmitting and receiving radio waves.

In addition, the center of the main body 100 is provided with a rotating shaft 101, the rotating shaft 101 is provided with an opening 102 on one side, and comprises an elastic member 103 above the rotating shaft 101. . The elastic member 103 is a leaf spring that provides a spring force in the direction of the rotation axis (101). In addition, the rear surface is configured to include a lens exposure unit 104 and a mirror exposure unit 105.

The camera unit 200 has a disk-like shape and has an insertion hole 201 corresponding to the rotating shaft 101 at the center, and has a plurality of lenses 210 at one side half of the front surface, and the lens 210. One side half of the opposite portion includes a plurality of mirrors 220.

The mirror and the lens are preferably configured to have the same viewing angle and focal length in the symmetrical direction.

In addition, the outer circumferential surface of the camera unit 200 is provided with a plurality of stop grooves 230 corresponding to the elastic member 103, and comprises a concave-convex portion 240 between the stop grooves 230.

Therefore, the insertion hole 201 of the camera unit 200 is rotatably inserted into the rotation shaft 101 of the main body, and the stop groove 230 and the elastic member 103 are also engaged with each other, and the camera unit 200 The lens 210 and the mirror 220 are coupled outwardly through the lens exposure unit 104 and the mirror exposure unit 105 to the rear side. In addition, one side of the camera unit 200 is exposed to the outside through the opening 102 to manually apply a rotational force, the elastic member 103 when the camera unit 200 is rotated in the stop groove 230 The lens 210 and the mirror 220 are inserted into the lens exposure unit 104 and the mirror exposure unit 105 so as to stop exactly. In addition, a click feeling is formed while the elastic member 103 rides over the uneven portion 240 between the stop grooves 230.

In this case, the camera unit 200 is shown to be built in the rear side of the mobile communication terminal (A) in order to shoot an external image, but is not limited to this, various positions such as the front or side of the mobile communication terminal (A) Note that it can be installed in.
