Abstract
A foldable electronic device is provided, including an input module, a pivot member, a display module, and a hinge mechanism. The display module is rotatably connected to the pivot member, and the pivot member is rotatably connected to the input module via the hinge mechanism. Specifically, when the display module and the pivot member are unfolded less than a specific angle relative to the input module, a latch of the hinge mechanism is joined in an opening of the display module, so as to prevent rotation of the display module relative to the pivot member.
