A portable electronic device including a first body, a second body, a stand, and a hinge structure is provided. The stand has a first pivot part and a second pivot part opposite to the first pivot part, wherein the first pivot part is pivotally connected to the first body, and the second body is pivotally connected to the second pivot part. The hinge structure includes a first bracket secured to the second body, a second bracket secured to the second pivot part of the stand, a first movable base, a first shaft secured to the first bracket and pivoted to the first movable base, a second movable base, a second shaft secured to the first movable base and pivoted to the second movable base, and a sliding shaft fixed to the second movable base and slidably connected to the second bracket.

Portable electronic device having biaxial hinge structure

An electronic device includes a host, a main display, an auxiliary display, and a hinge mechanism. The auxiliary display is located between the host and the main display and includes a sliding part and a lifting part. The sliding part is slidably connected to the host. The hinge mechanism includes a first bracket, a second bracket pivotally connected to the first bracket, and a third bracket pivotally connected to the second bracket. The first bracket is secured to the host, and the second bracket is secured to the main display. The third bracket is secured to the lifting part of the auxiliary display.

Electronic device

An electronic device, including a host, a main display, an auxiliary display, and a lifting mechanism, is provided. The main display is pivoted to the host. The auxiliary display is disposed on the host. The lifting mechanism is disposed between the auxiliary display and the host. The lifting mechanism is configured to lift the auxiliary display and maintain a lifting height of the auxiliary display.

A hinge assembly, including a rotating shaft and a pair of cams, is provided. The cams are sleeved on the rotating shaft so as to be rotatable relative to each other. The pair of cams respectively has a first flat surface and a second flat surface facing each other, and a curved surface adjacent to the first flat surface and the second flat surface. The first flat surface of one of the cams passes by the curved surface to move from one flat surface to the other flat surface of the other cam, so as to enable the pair of cams to move relatively away or closer along an axial direction of the rotating shaft. The curved surfaces of the cams are in surface contact when the first flat surface passes by the curved surface. A portable electronic device is also provided.
