Abstract: A foldable electronic device including a hinge module and a pair of bodies is provided. The hinge module is connected between the bodies such that the bodies may rotate relatively to be folded or unfolded. The hinge module includes a first torsion member and a second torsion member linked respectively to the bodies to generate torsional forces during a travel of a rotation of the bodies to be folded or unfolded. The first torsion member generates torsional force in a first section of the travel, the second torsion member generates torsional force in a second section of the travel, and the first section and the second section overlap partially, in which the direction of the first torsion member is opposite to the direction of the second torsion member.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided, including a main body, a cover movably connected to the main body, a biasing element connected to the cover and the main body, a movable member movably disposed on the main body, and a magnetic element disposed on the movable member. When the cover is located in a closed position relative to the main body, the cover is attracted by the magnetic element and restricted in the closed position. When the movable member is pushed by an external force to move from its initial position to a first position, the movable member and the magnetic element separate from the cover, and the biasing element drives the cover to move from the closed position to an open position.
