Conventional portable communication terminals are classified into bar-type or folder-type communication devices according to their appearance in consideration of portability and ease of use. Bar-type communication device refers to a configuration in which a single housing is configured as a bar-type, and is equipped with a data input / output device, an antenna device, a transceiver, etc., and a folder-type communication device is a folder hinged device in a single bar-type housing. By means of rotatably connected is configured in a folding manner. For example, the folder-type portable communication terminal has a structure in which a folder is rotatably coupled to the main body by a hinge portion, and keys are arranged on the main body side and a display portion is arranged on the main body side, which is advantageous in miniaturization and portability. There is this. The folding portable communication terminal is disclosed in US Patent No. 6,865,406. In US Patent No. 6,865,406, a camera lens housing is mounted and used at the hinge portion of a folding portable communication terminal.

In addition, the portable communication terminal may be classified into a swing-type or a sliding-type communication device according to an opening and closing method. A swing-type communication device means that one housing is swinged to open and close the other housing while the two housings face each other and remain facing each other. A sliding-type communication device is a combination of two housings facing each other. It means that the housing of the sliding in the longitudinal direction to open and close the remaining housing.

For example, the sliding type mobile communication terminal has a structure in which a main body and a slider are faced to each other by a sliding module, a plurality of keys are arranged on the main body side, and a display is arranged on the slider side. It is an advantageous structure to provide, and the opening and closing operation is convenient.

A sliding type mobile communication terminal is disclosed in detail in Korean Patent No. 2002-71911. A plurality of keys are arranged in the main body housing, and the display unit is mounted in the sliding housing. Swing type portable communication terminals are disclosed in detail in US Patent Application No. 10 / 822,380.

However, among the conventional portable communication terminals, the sliding type portable terminal has a problem in that the display device is fixed to the sliding housing, so that the screen view displayed on the display device is inconvenient.

That is, the user's position is that the display device mounted on the portable communication terminal should be large, wide, and inclinedly mounted so that viewing the screen displayed on the display device is convenient.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a portable communication terminal which is convenient for viewing a screen displayed on a display device in which the display device is inclinedly mounted in the sliding type mobile terminal.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a portable communication terminal,

A main body including a plurality of first keys;

A slider comprising a display device;

A sliding mounting device connected between the upper surface of the main body and the bottom of the slider to slide the slider while maintaining the state facing the main body, and to be mounted on the upper surface of the main body to be inclined after the sliding movement; And

It is formed on the upper surface of the main body and comprises a guide means for determining the slider movement direction.

In addition, the present invention provides a portable communication terminal,

A main body including a plurality of first keys;

A slider comprising a display device;

A sliding mounting device connected between the upper surface of the main body and the bottom of the slider to slide the slider while facing the main body or to be lifted from the upper surface of the main body to mount the display device in an inclined state; And

It is formed on the upper surface of the main body and comprises a guide means for determining the slider movement direction.
