The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, as a slider is slid with respect to a main body during a call and is formed in a pop-up form at an angle corresponding to a curve of a user's ear and an incidence, The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal configured to be in close contact with a user's mouth and ears.

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 prevalence of such mobile communication terminals has become widespread and the trend of mobile communication terminals having various opening and closing methods of mobile communication terminals is rapidly spreading. For example, a mobile terminal such as a mobile communication terminal or a PDA is formed by combining a main body provided with a keypad and a cover body provided with a liquid crystal display so as to be openable and closed, and a folding type according to the open / close structure of the cover body for the main body. It may be classified into a slide type and a swing type.

In the case of the folding portable terminal, the folder has a structure in which the folder is opened and closed while being tilted within a predetermined angle range with respect to the hinge means formed between the main body and the folder, and in the case of the slide portable terminal, corresponding to the main body and the slider, respectively. The sliding means is formed so that the slider is opened and closed while sliding within a predetermined length range with respect to the main body, in the case of a swing-type portable terminal when the cover body is rotated at a predetermined angle with respect to the main body, the main body and the cover body The cover body is open to the main body while being rotated (swing) by 180 degrees by a rotation opening and closing device provided therebetween.

Recently, thanks to the rapid development of communication technology, the use of mobile communication terminals is also diversified, and multimedia functions such as Internet search, video playback, and various games using mobile communication terminals are enabled. Since the size of the LCD screen is required to display a large amount of information at once, recently, a terminal manufactured in a folder type or a slide type that can increase the size of the LCD screen is preferred to the existing mobile communication terminal.
