A portable electronic device includes a first body, a second body, a switching mechanism, a spring and a sliding mechanism. The first body includes a base and an input module slidably disposed on the base. The second body is pivoted to the base of the first body. The switching mechanism is disposed at the input module and is configured to switch an engaging relationship between the input module and the base. The spring is disposed at the base and abuts against the input module. The sliding mechanism includes a rack and a gear set engaged with the rack, wherein the rack is mounted to the input module and the gear set is slidably disposed at the base. The input module is pushed by the spring to slide relative to the base, and the rack slides relative to the base synchronously with the input module.

Portable electronic device

An expansion device includes a supporting base and a hub. The supporting base includes a bottom portion, a supporting portion, and an electrical connection port. The supporting portion is connected to the bottom portion and has an insert slot. The electrical connection port is disposed at the bottom portion. The hub is slidably disposed within the supporting portion and is located between the bottom portion and the insert slot. The hub includes a first electrical connection element and a second electrical connection element facing away from the first electrical connection element. The first electrical connection element is electrically connected to the electrical connection port, and the second electrical connection element extends into the insert slot. Another expansion device is also provided.

A display device including a main display and two sub-displays is provided. The main display has main display surface and a first frame area surrounding the main display surface. The two sub-displays are movably connected with the main display, wherein the two sub-displays are arranged side by side on the main display and cover the main display surface and the first frame area. Each of the sub-displays has a sub-display surface and a second frame area surrounding the sub-display surface. One side of each of the sub-display surfaces is exposed from the corresponding second frame area, and the two sides are aligned and attached together. After the two sub-displays are respectively moved relative to the main display along two opposite moving directions so as to separate the two sides from each other, the main display is exposed to the outside. An electronic device is also provided.

Display device and electronic device

A touch module is provided, including a hollow frame, a positioning member, and a touch unit. The positioning member includes a main body, an extending portion, and a U-shape structure. The extending portion is connected to the main body and fixed to the frame. The U-shape structure includes a contact portion and a pair of flexible arms. The flexible arms are connected to the main body, wherein the U-shape structure and the main body form a gap therebetween. The contact portion and the extending portion are disposed on opposite sides of the main body, wherein the contact portion is disposed between the two flexible arms. The touch unit is connected to the main body and forms a protrusion, wherein when a force is applied to the touch unit, the protrusion contacts the contact portion.

Touch module

An electronic device is provided, including a first module, a second module, and a protecting member. The first module includes a side surface and a fixed member, wherein the fixed member includes a protrusion protruding from the side surface. The second module includes a recess. The protecting member encompasses the protrusion and includes a first surface, a second surface, and an elastic portion, wherein the first surface is opposite to the second surface. The elastic portion protrudes from the first surface. When the protrusion is joined to the recess, the second surface and the elastic portion contact an inner wall of the recess.
