Abstract
An electronic device comprises a back plate, a fan and a coupling element. The fan includes a supporting base, a cover and a fan blade. The cover is disposed on the supporting base to form a fan blade accommodating space, the fan blade is disposed inside the accommodating space and is pivotally connected to the supporting base. In addition, the supporting base includes a coupling hole which is disposed inside the accommodating space. The coupling element passes through the coupling hole in order to have the supporting base installed on the back plate. Whereby, a bottom area of the fan is reduced by having both the coupling hole and the fan blade disposed inside the accommodating space, so that less space of circuit layout for a circuit board is occupied by the fan.
