Abstract: The present disclosure provides an electronic device having rotary input members. The device includes a substantially cylindrical main body, at least one hollow rotary input member rotatably connected to the main body, at least one pair of pads including two pads spaced from each other, arranged on the main body and beneath the at least one rotary input member, at least one selection contact arranged on an internal surface of the at least one rotary input member, and a processing unit. When a closed loop includes a pair of pads, a selection contact and the processing unit is formed, the processing unit determines input characters according to a relationship table.

Abstract: A portable electronic device includes a host, a display unit pivotably connected to the host, and a projecting unit received in the display unit. The projecting unit is configured for receiving video signals from the host and projecting corresponding image on the display unit.
