BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly to a slide storage type mobile communication terminal capable of reducing the volume of the mobile communication terminal, simplifying the structure, and realizing a shooting environment in a camcorder.

In general, mobile communication terminals have been developed from a bar type terminal to a flip type terminal, a folder type terminal, a slide type terminal, and the like according to the appearance. Terminals and slider-type terminals are mainstream.

That is, since the folder type terminal has enough space to adopt a wide LCD screen as a display device and folds in half, the portability is superior to other terminals.

In addition, the slide type terminal has a form in which the slider is opened by sliding a predetermined length in the longitudinal direction of the main body on the front of the main body, and may have an LCD screen similar to the folder type terminal, and at the same time contributes to the miniaturization of the terminal. This is because there is an advantage.

However, the conventional folder type terminal has the inconvenience that the LCD screen is not visible in the standby mode because the LCD screen is mounted inside the folder.

In order to solve such a problem, a dual folder type mobile communication terminal having a liquid crystal screen on both sides of a folder has also been proposed.

However, since the dual folder type mobile communication terminal requires the installation of two LCD screens, there is a problem that the cost is increased due to the addition of components, and the failure rate is also increased.

On the other hand, the slide-type terminal, while the liquid crystal screen is always exposed to the outside compared to the folder-type terminal, but can look at the LCD screen in the standby mode, but there is a disadvantage that it is vulnerable to external shock and foreign material contamination.
