In this case, the reflector 121 is formed to increase the reflectance of the light in the first fixing part 120, and the light reflected by the reflecting part 121 is emitted from the light emitting part 110 through the first fixing part 120. Is delivered. That is, as the light transmission and total reflection occur in the interior of the first fixing part 120, the remaining light that does not penetrate the first fixing part 120 is reflected inside the first fixing part 120 to emit light ( 110). The transmitted light is transmitted through the light emitting unit 110, the entire light emitting unit 110 is shined, the first reflecting surface 113 and the second reflecting surface 114 to minimize the transmission of light and the light emitting unit 110 Raising the reflectance of the light in front of the) to concentrate the light to the advertising unit (111).

In the present exemplary embodiment, the reflector 121 is formed as an inclined surface inclined at an angle with respect to the rear surface of the first fixing part 120. However, in order to increase the reflectance of the light, the reflector 121 is formed in an uneven shape or curved surface. It may be formed in various shapes.

In addition, a reflective layer (not shown) may be formed on the reflector 121 to maximize the reflectance of the flash light. The reflective layer may be a colored paint having a high reflectance of light or a sheet, a film, or a thin sheet having a high reflectance of light.

The second fixing part 130 may be elastically deformed, and presses the mobile terminal 200 to grip the mobile terminal 200 together with the first fixing part 120 in the form of tongs. To this end, the distance between the first fixing part 120 and the second fixing part 130 is preferably smaller than the thickness of the mobile terminal 200. In addition, the second fixing part 130 is provided with a non-slip protrusion 131 at a portion in contact with the mobile terminal 200. The non-slip protrusion 131 may be formed in various forms.
