Abstract

An electronic device is provided, including a display module, an input module, a hinge module, and an antenna. The hinge module connects the display module and the input module and has a first side and an opposite second side. The antenna is disposed in the hinge module and is situated on the first side. When the display module is rotated with respect to the input module, the hinge module forces the antenna to move from the first side to the second side.

Claims (14)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a display module;

an input module;

a hinge module, connecting the display module and the input module and having a first side and an opposite second side; and

an antenna, disposed in the hinge module and situated on the first side, wherein when the display module is rotated relative to the input module, the hinge module forces the antenna to linearly move from the first side to the second side in the hinge module along a direction perpendicular to an inner surface of the second side.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hinge module has a central axis, and when the display module is rotated relative to the input module, the antenna moves along a direction perpendicular to the central axis.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hinge module has a guide portion and a rod portion, the guide portion connects to the rod portion, and when the display module is rotated relative to the input module, the guide portion forces the rod portion to move and the rod portion forces the antenna to move from the first side to the second side.

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the hinge module has a first fixing member and a first shaft, the first fixing member connects the display module and the first shaft, and the guide portion is disposed on the first shaft.

5. The electronic device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the rod portion has an elongated structure that extends along a direction perpendicular to the first shaft.

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the hinge module has a second fixing member and a second shaft, the second fixing member connects the input module and the second shaft, and the guide portion is disposed on the second shaft.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the guide portion has a first gear and a second gear, the rod portion has a rack structure, and the second gear connects the first gear and the rack structure.

8. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hinge module has a housing portion covering the antenna.

9. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein when the display module is rotated relative to the input module into an expanded position, a display surface of the display module is facing backward the input module.

10. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display module is rotatable 360 degrees relative to the input module.
