Disclosed is a sliding module for a mobile terminal, which includes a
sliding plate having a guide rail with curving points in first and second
sections adjacent to each other in a longitudinal direction; a guide
plate connected to the sliding plate to support the slidable movement of
the sliding plate in a longitudinal direction; a pair of rollers linearly
movable on the guide plate to be in rolling contact with the guide rail;
and an elastic means for generating an elastic force that makes the
rollers move in a direction towards an end of the first or second
section. The sliding module connects a pair of housings in such a manner
that one can slidably move on the other in both upward and downward
directions.
