Abstract
A portable electronic device includes a first body, a second body and a linkage. The first body has a first upper surface, and the second body has a second upper surface. An end of the linkage is coupled to the first body through a first pivot shaft and another end of the linkage is coupled to the second body through a second pivot shaft, in which the second body is suitable to be stacked on the first upper surface of the first body to make the portable electronic device in a retracted state. The linkage is suitable to rotate relatively to the first body so that the first body and the second body of the portable electronic device are side by side in an expanded state.
