Abstract

Disclosed is a mobile/portable terminal comprising: a case of which at least a part is flexible; a camera module which is provided on one side of the case to photograph in one direction; a display unit for displaying images photographed by the camera module; a bending unit in which the camera module bends toward another side direction; and a control unit for controlling the camera module according to a change in an angle of the bending unit. The mobile/portable terminal has advantages of being capable of photographing images on both front and rear sides with a single camera so that the number of cameras can be decreased to thereby reduce costs for components, utilizing a mounting space for cameras, and using a camera with a high resolution for self-shooting.
