Abstract:
An electronic device usable in a manner similar to reading a book and a novel electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes flexible first to n-th display panels (n is a natural number of 4 or more) and an shaft. The first to n-th display panels each include a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The first and second surfaces are provided with the first and second display portions, respectively. The shaft includes an operating circuit, to which the first to n-th display panels are electrically connected. The first display panel and the second display panel nearest to the first display panel are fixed to the shaft so that an angle formed by straight lines connecting a portion where the first display panel projects from the shaft and the center of the shaft and connecting a portion where the second display panel projects from the shaft and the center of the shaft is (360/n)° in a cross-sectional view along a plane orthogonal to an extending direction of the shaft.
