Abstract

An electronic device includes a first part and a second part that can be folded or expanded relative to each other. The electronic device has a closed state and an open state When the electronic device is in the closed state, a frame of the first part and a frame of the second part partially or totally overlap. The first part includes a first feeding antenna. The second part includes a first parasitic antenna, and when the electronic device is in the closed state, the first parasitic antenna is not grounded and can be coupled to the first feeding antenna.
