  • Patent number: 11216037
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a body and a flexible display. The body is provided with a slide rail and includes a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface and a side surface coupling the first and second surfaces. The flexible display is disposed on the body and includes a first and a second display portion. The first display portion is mounted with a bracket, and the bracket slides relative to the slide rail to switch the flexible display between a retracted state and a slide-out state. When in the retracted state, the first display portion covers the first surface and the side surface, and the second display portion covers at least a part of the second surface; wherein when switched to the slide-out state, a free end of the first display portion is approached the side surface to expose a hidden region of the first surface.
