Abstract: An electronic device including a hinge module, a first body, a first linking assembly, a second body, a second linking assembly, and a flexible display assembled to the first body and the second body is provided. The hinge module includes a first rotating shaft, a second rotating shaft parallel to the first rotating shaft, a first guiding shaft orthogonal to the first rotating shaft, and a second guiding shaft orthogonal to the second rotating shaft. The first body is slidably assembled to the first guiding shaft, the second body is slidably assembled to the second guiding shaft, the first linking assembly slidably assembled to the first guiding shaft connects the first body, and the second linking assembly slidably assembled to the second guiding shaft connects the second body. A deformation of the flexible display drives the first and second bodies to move close to or away from the hinge module.

Abstract: A hinge module including a first bracket, a linking rod, and a second bracket. A first rotating shaft is disposed on the first bracket. The linking rod has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end is pivoted to the first rotating shaft. A second rotating shaft is disposed on the second bracket and movably and pivotably connected to the first bracket. The second end of the linking rod is pivoted to the second bracket. In a process where the first bracket and the second bracket are rotated relatively, the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are moved close to or away from each other. A portable electronic device is also disclosed.

Abstract: A hinge module is provided, including a first bracket, a guiding rod movably assembled to the first bracket, an elastic member connected between the first bracket and the guiding rod, a second bracket pivotally connected to the guiding rod, and a linking rod pivotally connected between the first and the second brackets. In a process of the first and the second brackets rotating relative to each other, the guiding rod moves relative to the first bracket to deform the elastic member. A portable electronic device is also provided.

Abstract: An electronic device including a hinge module, a first body, a second body, and a flexible display assembled to the first body and the second body is provided. Each of the first body and the second body is pivoted and slidably connected to the hinge module, and a cover of the hinge module is exposed out of the first body and the second body. The first body and the second body are rotated relatively via the hinge module to bend or flatten the flexible display, when the flexible display is bending from a flat state, a bending portion of the flexible display leans against the cover and pushes the cover away from the first body and the second body.

Abstract: A portable electronic device including a first body, a second body, a first hinge connected to the first body, a second hinge connected to the second body, and a linking rod is provided. The linking rod has a first end and a second end opposite to each other, wherein the first end is pivoted to the first hinge eccentric to a rotation axis of the first hinge, and the second end is pivoted to the second hinge eccentric to a rotation axis of the second hinge. The first and the second bodies are rotated to be closed to or far away from each other by the first hinge, the second hinge, and the linking rod.
