Abstract
A portable electronic device comprises: a first body including an opening formed in the side surface in a first direction; a hinge module comprising a first bracket fixed to the first body and a second bracket coupled to be rotatable about a hinge shaft; and a second body which has one end portion inserted in the opening and is coupled to the second bracket of the hinge module, wherein the hinge shaft is located inside of the first body and is extended in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The upper end portion of the opening is located in the first direction as compared with the hinge shaft of the hinge module. In the portable electronic device, the distance between a pair of bodies may be reduced, and thus, a portion between the bodies, in particular, the opening in which the hinge module is extended is invisible from the field of view of a user.
