Abstract
An electronic device includes a first body, a second body, a hinge structure, an ascending/descending mechanism, and a flexible screen. The hinge structure is located between the first body and the second body, and the first body is connected to the second body through the hinge structure. At least one of the first body and the second body has an accommodating space. The ascending/descending mechanism is disposed in the accommodating space and connected to the hinge structure. The flexible screen includes a first bonding portion fixed to the first body, a second bonding portion fixed to the second body, and a bending portion located between the first and second bonding portions. The bending portion is aligned to the hinge structure and the ascending/descending mechanism. The ascending/descending mechanism is driven by the hinge structure to ascend or descend, so that the bending portion moves out of or into the accommodating space.
