Abstract

An electronic device includes an input module, a connection assembly and a display module. The input module has a recess structure. The connection assembly includes a link member and a support plate. The link member has a first end and a second end, and the first end is pivotally disposed on one side of the input module. The support plate has a first edge and a second edge, and the first edge is pivotally disposed on the second end. The display module is pivotally disposed on the second edge. The recess structure is configured for accommodating the support plate.

Claims (12)

1. An electronic device comprising:

an input module having a recess structure, the recess structure comprising at least one elastic member and a plate body, one end of the at least one elastic member disposed on one side of the plate body, and the plate body having a hold-up position and a sinking position, relative to the input module;

a connection assembly comprising:

a link member having a first end and a second end, and the first end being pivotally disposed on one side of the input module; and

a support plate having a first edge and a second edge, and the first edge being pivotally disposed on the second end; and

a display module pivotally disposed on the second edge,

wherein the recess structure is configured for accommodating the support plate, when the display module is at a tablet position, the support plate pushes the plate body, so that the plate body moves from the hold-up position to the sinking position and the at least one elastic member stores elastic potential energy, while when the support plate moves away from the input module, the at least one elastic member releases the elastic potential energy, thereby making the plate body move from the sinking position to the hold-up position.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the input module further has an input surface, and when the at least one elastic member is not compressed, the input surface and the surface of the plate body away from the at least one elastic member are coplanar.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the display module is a touch screen.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the input module further has a accommodating groove located on one side of the input module which is near the link member, and the accommodating groove is configured for accommodating the second end of the link member.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the display module further has a tablet mode, and in the tablet mode, the display module is stacked on the support plate and the input module while the support plate is accommodated in the recess structure.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the display module further has a close mode, and in the close mode, the display module is disposed between the support plate and the input module.
