  • Publication number: 20210089083
    Abstract: An electronic device with sliding screens including a first body, a second body, a plurality of hinge modules, a first screen and a second screen is provided. The first body has a first surface. The second body has a second surface. The hinge modules are connected between the first body and the second body. The first screen is slidably disposed on the first surface of the first body. The second screen is slidably disposed on the second surface of the second body. When the first body and the second body are unfolded to a first angle relative to each other, the first screen and the second screen are moved relatively close and lifted upwards. When the first body and the second body are unfolded to a second angle relative to each other, the first screen and the second screen are in contact with each other to cover the hinge modules.

  • Patent number: 10905020
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a first body, a second body, a hinge mechanism, two driving mechanisms, at least two lifting mechanisms, and a flexible panel. The first body is connected to the second body through the hinge mechanism. The two driving mechanisms are disposed in the first and second bodies, respectively, and the hinge mechanism is connected to the two driving mechanisms. The lifting mechanisms are respectively disposed in the first body and the second body, and each lifting mechanism is connected to the corresponding driving mechanism. The hinge mechanism is configured to drive the two driving mechanisms which respectively drive the two lifting mechanisms to ascend or descend. The flexible panel includes a first bonding portion secured to the first body, a second bonding portion secured to the second body, and a bending portion between the first and second bonding portions. The bending portion contacts the two lifting mechanisms.

  • Patent number: 10895894
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a first body, a second body, a hinge structure, an ascending/descending mechanism, and a flexible screen. The hinge structure is located between the first body and the second body, and the first body is connected to the second body through the hinge structure. At least one of the first body and the second body has an accommodating space. The ascending/descending mechanism is disposed in the accommodating space and connected to the hinge structure. The flexible screen includes a first bonding portion fixed to the first body, a second bonding portion fixed to the second body, and a bending portion located between the first and second bonding portions. The bending portion is aligned to the hinge structure and the ascending/descending mechanism. The ascending/descending mechanism is driven by the hinge structure to ascend or descend, so that the bending portion moves out of or into the accommodating space.

  • Patent number: 10772224
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a first body, a second body and at least one driving mechanism. The second body includes a casing and a flexible screen installed on the casing. The driving mechanism includes a shaft, a driving element and a linking assembly. The shaft has first and second connecting portions opposite to each other, the first connecting portion is fixed to the first body, and the second body is pivoted to the second connecting portion. The driving element is sleeved on the shaft and is located in the casing. The linking assembly is carried by the casing and covered by the flexible screen. When the second body is folded onto the first body, the flexible screen keeps flat. When the second body is unfolded with respect to the first body, the driving element is rotated and moved with respect to the shaft to drive the linking assembly to move, and the linking assembly drives the flexible screen to bend.

  • Publication number: 20200272201
    Abstract: An electronic device with multi screens including a host, a hinge module, a first connecting base, a second connecting base, a first screen, and a second screen is provided. The hinge module is pivotally connected to the host and rotates along a first axial direction. The first connecting base is fixed on a first side of the hinge module. The second connecting base is pivotally connected to a second side of the hinge module and rotates along a second axial direction parallel to the first axial direction. The second connecting base is adjacent to the first connecting base. The first screen is slidably disposed in the first connecting base and the second connecting base. The second screen is detachably disposed in the second connecting base. The second connecting base is suitable for rotating relative to the hinge module to be aligned with or separated from the first connecting base.

  • Publication number: 20200064884
    Abstract: Provided is a notebook computer with a functional body, including a host, a functional body and a display body. The host has a keyboard portion and a receiving portion, and a height difference is formed between the keyboard portion and the receiving portion. The functional body has a first end and a second end. The first end is in pivot connection to the keyboard portion of the host. The display body has a display portion and a base. The second end of the functional body is in pivot connection to the display body. The display body is adapted to be rotated relative to the host and the functional body, so that the base is in contact with the receiving portion to switch to a folded state or a first unfolded state. The functional body is adapted to be rotated relative to the host, so that the base of the display body is relatively away from the receiving portion to switch to a second unfolded state.
