Abstract:
A flexible electronic device includes a flexible display, a support mechanism for carrying the flexible display thereon, and two hinge mechanisms. Each of the hinge mechanisms is disposed between first and second substrate units and interconnects inboard end edges of the first and second substrate units of the support mechanism, and includes first and second linking units pivotable relative to a mounting assembly. With a first height between first outer and inner pivot axes of the first linking unit and a second height between second outer and inner pivot axes of the second linking unit, substrate seats can be moved away from inner support plates, and the inner support plates are movable downwardly to provide a leeway space for a bending part of the flexible display to be bendably received therein.
