Composition and Reaction of the Invention The following is detailed explanation of this invention, using attached figures as reference.

As shown on Figure 1 and 3, mobile phone with mirror with one transparent side is comprised of main body (1), covering part (2) and mirror with one transparent side (3).

As depicted on Figure 1 and 3, main body (1) includes at the lower part of the inner side that enables caller to communicate with others by voice. At the upper part, hinge conjoining part (12a) (12b) that is conjoined with the covering part (2) is included, and number board (13) is included between the above mentioned phone microphone (11) and hinge conjoining part (12a) (12b).

As depicted on Figure 1 and 3, covering part (2) is conjoined by hinge conjoining part (12a) (12b) (12') at the inner side of the above mentioned main body (1). The size of the covering part (2) corresponds to the size of the above mentioned main body (1). Outside display screen (23) that enables user to check time and the reception (or non-reception) of text message is installed at the upper side of the covering part (2). Phone receiver (21) that

receives the voice of others is installed at the upper part of the inside. Hinge conjoining part (12') is included at the lower part to conjoin the above mentioned main body (l)'s hinge conjoining part (12a) (12b) with hinge. Screen display part (22) that displays various information in a visual manner is installed between the above mentioned phone receiver (21) and hinge conjoining part (12').

Moreover, the above mentioned covering part (2) 's hinge conjoining part (12') is conjoined with the mirror with one transparent side (3) 's hinge conjoining part (12"). If and when the covering part (2) of the main body (1) is closed, the transparent mirror side of the above mentioned mirror with one transparent side (3) comes into contact with the inner side of the above mentioned main body (1). Mirror side of the mirror with one transparent side (3) is conjoined with the inner side of the above mentioned covering part (2) in the form of contact. Push button (24) and suspension sill (25) that are normally used for cosmetic product containers are formed as single unit at the upper side of the covering part (2) so that the mirror with one transparent side (3) can be fixed onto the above mentioned covering part (2).

The above mentioned push button (24) is projected higher at the upper part of the covering part (2) compared to the suspension sill (25).

Mirror with one transparent side (3) vacuum plates metal such as aluminum at one side of the mirror. It is seen as a mirror from the vacuum plated side (mirror side) due to the reflection of the metallic surface. From the opposite side (glass side), it is possible to

see the object towards the mirror side in a transparent manner. As depicted on Figure 1 and 3, its size corresponds to the size of the above mentioned covering part (2). At the lower part, hinge conjoining part (12") is included at the top of the covering part (2)'s hinge conjoining part (12'). However, both sides of the spring (34) are each injected into the inside of this covering part (2) 's hinge conjoining part (12'), and mirror with one transparent side (3)'s hinge conjoining part (12"), and they are conjoined with elasticity. At the upper part, projection part (31) with perforated conjoining hole (32) is projected outward as if embracing the upper part of the covering part (2). Suspension sill (25) included at the upper part of the above mentioned covering part (2) is inserted at the above mentioned conjoining hole (32), and the covering part (2) and mirror with one transparent side (3) are fixated in a tight manner. Each of rubber packing (33a) (33b) (33a') (33b') is attached onto the upper part of the mirror with one transparent side (3) 's glass side and both sides of the mirror side's upper part to absorb shock at the time of opening and shutting the covering part (2) of the mobile phone to prevent mirror with one transparent side (3) from breaking.

Meanwhile, thickness of the above mentioned mirror with one transparent side (3) may be adjusted according to need. Use of strong material with 0. 8-1. 2 mm is recommended, and use of material that does not break easily and that prevents pieces from flying array is recommended.

The reaction of this invention is explained in detail as follows.

As shown on Figure 2 and 3, mirror with one transparent side (3) 's hinge conjoining part (12") is conjoined with the covering part (2)'s hinge conjoining part (12') in an elastic manner. Suspension sill (25) at the upper part of the above mentioned covering part (2) is inserted into the conjoining hole (32) perforated into the above mentioned mirror with one transparent side (3) 's projection part (31). Since the above mentioned covering part (2) and mirror with one transparent side (3) are fixated in a tight manner, it is possible to see the screen display part (22) in a clear manner during normal times through the transparent glass side of the mirror with one transparent side (3) that is closely attached onto the covering part (2). Pressing on the push button (24) that is included on the above mentioned covering part (2) will enable user to look at the mirror if and when needed.

Suspension sill (25) that is projected lower than this push button (24) and that forms single unit with the above mentioned push button (24) will be separated from the above mentioned conjoining hole (32). Due to the elasticity of the elastic piece (34), user can check own appearance briefly through the mirror side since mirror with one transparent side (3) unfolds automatically from this covering part (2).
