Abstract

A 3D camera and a mobile terminal having the same can include a front body including a touch screen; a rear body coupled to the front body, the rear body including first and second holes; first and second cameras for capturing an image, the first and second cameras corresponding to the first and second holes; a bracket coupled to the first and second cameras, the bracket including third and fourth holes corresponding the first and second cameras; a main printed circuit board (PCB) for operation of the mobile terminal; a camera PCB coupled to the first and second cameras; and a connector extended from the camera PCB and connected to the main PCB electrically. Also, the bracket surrounds each of the first and second cameras, and at least a portion of the bracket is surrounded by the main PCB.

Claims (19)

1. A mobile terminal comprising:

a front body including a touch screen located on a front side of the mobile terminal;

a rear body coupled to the front body and located at a rear side of the mobile terminal, the rear body including first and second holes;

first and second cameras for capturing an image, the first and second cameras corresponding to the first and second holes;

a bracket coupled to the first and second cameras, the bracket including third and fourth holes corresponding the first and second cameras;

a main printed circuit board (PCB) including electronic components and electronic circuits for operation of the mobile terminal;

a camera PCB coupled to the first and second cameras; and

a connector extended from the camera PCB, the connector connected to the main PCB electrically,

wherein the bracket surrounds each of the first and second cameras, and

wherein at least a portion of the bracket is surrounded by the main PCB.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein at least the portion of the bracket includes a sidewall.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 2 , wherein the main PCB is located beside the sidewall.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the bracket includes a bridge between the first hole and the second hole.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 4 , wherein the bracket is formed integrally.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 4 , wherein the bracket is made of a metal.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the connector is connected on a surface of the main PCB.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 7 , wherein the surface of the main PCB faces the rear body.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the connector is provided as a plurality of connectors.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 9 , wherein the connectors are connected on a surface of the main PCB, and the surface of the main PCB faces the rear body.
