Abstract

An electronic device is provided, which includes a display, a housing and a supporting structure. The display is disposed in the housing and a side of the housing opposite to the display has a storeroom. The supporting structure is disposed at the storeroom and has a flexible sheet, a first supporting-part and a second supporting-part. One end of the flexible sheet is fixed to the storeroom, the first supporting-part and the second supporting-part are respectively disposed at the flexible sheet, and the second supporting-part is bent relatively to the first supporting-part through the flexible sheet so as to provide the housing with a supporting force.

Claims (14)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a display;

a housing, wherein the display is disposed in the housing and a side of the housing opposite to the display has a storeroom; and

a supporting structure, disposed at the storeroom and having a flexible sheet, a first supporting-part and a second supporting-part, wherein one end of the flexible sheet is fixed to the storeroom, the first supporting-part and the second supporting-part are respectively disposed at the flexible sheet, and the second supporting-part is bent relatively to the first supporting-part through the flexible sheet so as to provide the housing with a supporting force.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing has a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, a first included angle is formed between the housing and a plane when the first side and the supporting structure together support the housing on the plane, and a second included angle is formed between the housing and the plane when the second side and the supporting structure together support the housing on the plane.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the flexible sheet has a first end and a second end, the first end is connected to the storeroom and the second end is movable disposed at the storeroom.

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the housing has a fixing-portion, and the second end is fixed at the fixing-portion when the second end is bent toward the first end.

5. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the storeroom has a first magnetic block, the second end of the flexible sheet has a second magnetic block, and the magnetic forces of the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block are attracted by each other.

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first supporting-part and the second supporting-part are disposed at a same surface of the flexible sheet.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first supporting-part and the second supporting-part are disposed at different surfaces of the flexible sheet.

8. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first supporting-part and the second supporting-part are integrated formed with the flexible sheet.

9. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first supporting-part and the second supporting-part lean against each other to provide the housing with the supporting force.

10. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an included angle is formed between the first supporting-part and the second supporting-part and the included angle is an acute angle.

11. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an included angle is formed between the first supporting-part and the second supporting-part and the included angle is an obtuse angle.
