Abstract

A display device. A display device comprises a body and a movable portion. The body comprises a display panel. The movable portion is rotatably disposed on the body, movable between a first position and a second position. When the movable portion is at the first position, the movable portion is closed on the body, covering and protecting the display panel. When the movable portion rotates a predetermined angle from the first position to the second position, the movable portion becomes a supporting member, to support the body in an upright position.
