  • Patent number: 11720148
    Abstract: A portable electronic device having a rollable display structure is proposed. When the rollable display panel is unrolled from the display drum inside the housing and drawn out of the housing, a self-standing guide unit guides the rollable display panel to be curved in an arc shape so that the rollable display panel stands upright on its own, whereby the rollable display panel may be maintained in an unrolled state without an additional structure. In this way, the size and weight of a product may be reduced, so that portability of the portable electronic device may be improved.

  • Patent number: 7308733
    Abstract: A swivel hinge assembly is provided for use in an electronic device, such as a portable electronic device. The swivel hinge assembly includes a first rotary shaft configured to be rotatable about a substantially vertically extending axis, a base configured to be rotatable in a substantially horizontal plane by the first rotary shaft, and a second rotary shaft, which is installed on the base, at least a portion of which is configured to be rotatable about a substantially horizontally extending axis which intersects with the first rotary shaft. The swivel hinge assembly may further comprise a cover plate configured to cover an opening formed on a top surface of a main body of the electronic device, and in which the base rotates.

  • Patent number: 6807053
    Abstract: A portable computer with built-in type speakers is disclosed in which a speaker or speaker holder is mounted at inside a main body of a computer and a sounding part of the speaker is installed pointing in a direction toward the ground or support surface where a main body of the computer is placed. Since the speaker is installed at a lower portion of the main body of the computer and the sounding part of the speaker is installed directed toward the ground, a phenomenon that the sound discharge hole is interfered due to an external factor can be prevented and a sound quality is prevented from degradation.
