Abstract

A pop up device of an outside door handle includes a motor part interlocking with a smart key and receiving a signal from the smart key to thereby be operated; a cam part connected to the motor part to be rotatable in a horizontal direction; and a grip handle body having one end provided at an outer side of a door of a vehicle and another end provided at a cam part side to thereby be mounted at a grip handle base on a door side so as to be popped up. Therefore, the grip handle body is popped up to improve convenience in operating the outside door handle when a passenger gets in the vehicle and to prevent damage to the vehicle and injury to a hand of the passenger, thereby making it possible to improve salability and stability.
