BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION <First Embodiment> FIG. 1 is a side view showing a mobile phone according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, the mobile phone body (hereinafter,
An antenna 2 is attached to the main body 1), and a liquid crystal screen 3 is integrally formed on the main body 1, and a seal 3a having a polarization function (not shown) is attached to the liquid crystal screen 3. Instead of the seal 3a, a magic mirror or a half mirror may be provided on the liquid crystal screen 3.

With such a structure, the liquid crystal screen 3 becomes a mirror depending on the viewing angle, and also becomes a display screen of an ordinary mobile phone. For example, as shown in the figure, when the liquid crystal screen 3 is viewed from the position A, the liquid crystal screen 3 becomes a mirror so that the user can see his / her face and figure wherever he is, and effectively use the mobile phone.
On the other hand, when using the telephone function, by viewing the liquid crystal screen 3 from the position B, the telephone number display, mail, i
You can see sites such as modes.

<Second Embodiment> FIG. 2 is a front view showing a portable telephone according to a second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the main body 4 is equipped with an antenna 5, and the main body 4 is provided with a button 6 labeled as a mirror. Further, the main body 4 is provided with a liquid crystal screen 8 to which a seal 7 having special characteristics is attached.

With such a configuration, the liquid crystal screen 8 is changed in the reflectance or the transmittance of the light in response to the brightness difference of the backlight lighting, the light of a specific color or a specific wavelength, or the electromagnetic wave. It is possible to provide a mobile phone equipped with.

It should be noted that it is normally a mirror, and the liquid crystal screen 8 may be transparent during a call or button operation.
Also in this example, the seal 7 may be formed of a magic mirror, a half mirror, or the like.

<Third Embodiment> FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a portable telephone according to a third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the main body 8 is provided with an antenna 9.
A liquid crystal screen 10 is integrally formed on the main body 8.
Further, a mirror 11 is hinged on the liquid crystal screen 10 so as to be openable and closable.

The liquid crystal screen 10 may be hinged to the mobile phone so that the liquid crystal screen 10 can be opened and closed, and a mirror may be provided inside when the liquid crystal screen 10 is opened. <Fourth Embodiment> FIG. 4A is a front view showing a mobile phone according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4B is a side view thereof.

As shown in the figure, the antenna 13 is attached to the main body 12.
Is equipped with. Further, a liquid crystal screen 14 in which a polarizing glass (not shown) is attached is integrally formed with the main body 12. Further, a knob 15 is rotatably attached to the liquid crystal screen 14.

With this structure, the knob 15 can be operated to make the liquid crystal screen 14 a mirror. For example, the degree of deflection of the liquid crystal screen 14 can be changed by operating the knob 15 and can be set as a mirror or can be set as the normal liquid crystal screen 14.

<Fifth Embodiment> Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described. Although not shown in the drawings, the present embodiment provides a mobile phone that uses a mirror, a sticker, or the like having optimized transmittance and reflectance as a display screen. With this configuration, the screen becomes a mirror when the backlight is off, and when something is displayed on the screen, the screen functions as glass rather than the mirror due to the brightness of the display, and immediately becomes the normal screen.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned first to fifth embodiments. For example, when a self-portrait is displayed on the monitor, the self-portrait is recognized when the self-portrait is displayed on the monitor. However, a configuration is also possible in which a mobile phone that sets the device to the usable state is provided.
