Abstract
A portable electronic device includes a host module, a display module, a pivoting mechanism and a moving component. The pivoting mechanism is connected to the host module and the display module and for pivoting the host module relative to the display module. The pivoting mechanism includes a base and a pivoting unit. The pivoting unit includes a lower pivoting component and an upper pivoting component. The lower pivoting component is installed on the base. The upper pivoting component is pivotally connected to the lower pivoting component in a first pivoting direction and installed on the display module, so that the display module rotates relative to the host module in the first pivoting direction. The moving component contacts an upper surface of the host module and moves relative to the upper surface as the display module rotates relative to the host module in the first pivoting direction.
