A linkage mechanism including a base, at least one first linking rod, a first linkage member and a driving member is provided. Each of the at least one first linking rod includes a first pivot portion and a second pivot portion. Each of the first linking rod is pivoted to the base via the first pivot portion. The first linking member includes a first engaged portion and a first groove along a first direction. Each of the first linking rod is pivoted in the first groove of the first linkage member via the second pivot portion. The first linking rod is connected to the driving member. When the driving member is located at an unlocked position, the first engaged portion is retracted inside the base. When the driving member is moved from the unlocked position to a locked position, the first linking rod is driven by the driving member, so that the first linkage member is moved along a second direction, and the first engaged portion protrudes from the base. An electronic device is further provided.

Linkage mechanism and electronic device

An electronic device includes a base, a pivoting component, a display and a supporting component. The base has an upper side and a lower side and is suitable to be placed on a surface. The pivoting component is pivotally connected to a rear end of the base. The display is connected to the pivoting component and suitable to be unfolded or closed at the upper side of the base by the pivoting of the pivoting component. The supporting component is pivotally connected to the lower side of the base and suitable to be unfolded or closed at the lower side of the base. When the display is unfolded on the base, an end of the display slides along the supporting component, and the supporting component is unfolded on the base and supports the pivoting component and the rear end of the base away from the surface.
