CAMERA UNIT FOR SMALL MOBILE TERMINAL, PARTICULARLY FOR PHOTOGRAPHING A RELATIVELY FAR OBJECT AND A RELATIVELY CLOSE OBJECT WITH HIGH PICTURE QUALITY BY INSTALLING A CAMERA WITH A ZOOM FUNCTION AT A MOBILE TERMINAL

摘要

PURPOSE: A camera unit for a small mobile terminal is provided to allow a user to photograph a relatively close object, a relatively far object or a closed-up object clearly by zooming in while changing magnification. CONSTITUTION: The first and second lens groups(110,120) are movable from a low magnification position to a high magnification position and to a close-up photograph position. The third lens group(130) is fixedly positioned. The first lens barrel(210) supports the first and second lens groups(110,120) so as to be slidable in a vertical direction. The second lens barrel(310) moves the first and second lens groups(110,120) to a low magnification photograph position, a high magnification photograph position and a close-up photograph position. An image sensor(510) converts an image of an object into an electric signal and transmits it to a signal processor of a mobile terminal. A mounting unit(410) is coupled with the first lens barrel(210) and the image sensor(510) and mounted in the mobile terminal.
