Abstract
The invention provides an electronic device comprising: a first housing; a second housing; and a double-axis hinge housing connecting the first housing and the second housing such that the second housing can rotate from the first housing around a first hinge-axis or around a second hinge-axis that is parallel to the first hinge-axis, respectively. The double-axis hinge housing may contain a double-axis hinge device comprising a first hinge device connecting the first housing and the double-axis hinge housing such that the same can rotate around the first hinge-axis, and a second hinge device which is parallel to the first hinge device, and which connects the second housing and the double-axis hinge housing such that the same can rotate around the second hinge-axis. The double-axis hinge housing may comprise a cam arranged between the first and second hinge devices to be able to rotate. The cam may be set so as to interwork with the first hinge device at a first rotational angle such that the cam prevents a rotating operation of the first housing and allows a rotating operation of the second housing. The cam may be set so as to interwork with the second hinge device at a second rotational angle such that the cam prevents a rotating operation of the second housing and allows a rotating operation of the second housing.
