More Information
Summary:In a sliding type mobile terminal, a sliding mechanism 25 is provided to couple slidably a first housing 3 having on its surface a vertically long liquid crystal display part 2 long in the vertical direction to a second housing 5 having on its surface an operating part 4 . This slide mechanism 25 includes a rail part 26 which is mounted on the surface of the second housing 5 in a manner of extending in the vertical direction and is configured such that when the first housing 3 has slidingly moved by means of the slide mechanism 25 to the upper end side of the second housing 5 , the operating part of the second housing 5 will appear. Further, by means of the cam mechanism 10 (support mechanism), the first housing 3 is supported relative to the second housing 5 in a switchable manner between the vertically long state and the horizontally long state. While maintaining overall compactness, the first housing is supported stably to make it possible to slidingly move and to switch between the vertically long state and the horizontally long state, and when the first housing is placed in the horizontally long state, operation under the normal key arrangement is made possible.
