    Abstract: A hinge structure for use in an electronic device such as a digital camera for connecting two elements and making the two elements turn against each other. A gear unit is provided, which has two gears engaging with each other and turning in opposite directions. The two gears connect respectively with the two elements. When one element is turned in one direction, through the transmission of the gear unit, another element will be driven to turn in the opposite direction, to thereby change the angle between the two elements and enhance picture taking flexibility.
