Disclosed is a sliding-type portable terminal including a first housing; a second housing coupled to the first housing so as to slide while facing the first housing; and a sliding module for slidably coupling the first and second housings to each other. The sliding module includes a sliding guide mounted on the first housing, the sliding guide having at least one slit extending in a longitudinal direction; a sliding plate mounted on the second housing, the sliding plate being slidably coupled to the sliding guide and facing the sliding guide; and a hook extending from the sliding plate so as to slide in the slit, the hook extending into the first housing via the slit, an end of the hook being bent so as to face an inner surface of the sliding guide.

Sliding-type portable terminal

An illumination sensing device for a portable terminal is disclosed. The illumination sensing device includes a housing having a sensor hole extending through a side of the housing, a printed circuit board in the housing and connected to a backlight unit, an illumination sensor coupled with the printed circuit board and disposed in the sensor hole, and an optical guide disposed in the sensor hole and facing the illumination sensor. The illumination sensor senses light introduced through the optical guide from outside the housing, and the backlight unit is operated based on the light sensed by the illumination sensor.

Illumination sensing device for portable terminal

Disclosed is a hinge device for a display rotation type mobile phone comprising a main housing, a folder having a main display device and rotatable around a first hinge axis extending in a direction perpendicular to the length of the main housing and a connection member for rotatably connecting the folder to the main housing, said hinge device including a first hinge member; a second hinge member connected to the first hinge member which allows and restricts the rotation of the second hinge member; a swing washer interposed between the first and second hinge members to rotatably connect the second hinge member to the first hinge member and providing an elastic force acting to rotate the folder; and a swing bush engaged into the first hinge member sequentially connected to the swing washer and the second hinge member.
