Abstract
A mobile terminal is disclosed, by which a user is facilitated to carry and use a terminal in a simple and easy way. According to the present invention, since a camera module is configured in a manner that a protective cover is provided not to a case but to a module body, it is advantageous in protecting a lens unit provided to the module body before installing the camera module at the case. While light passes through a protective cover, a protective cover physically isolates an inside of a camera module from an outside to prevent external particles from being introduced into the camera module. Therefore, it is advantageous in enhancing durability of the camera module. A loading portion is provided to a case to guide an installation position of a camera module. A separate cover is not added to the case. And, a protective cover of a camera module is directly exposed to outside. Therefore, accumulation of numerical value tolerance is barely generated and an assembly process is simplified.
