Abstract: A foldable electronic device (100) includes a flexible hinge mechanism for enabling the opening and closing of the first housing element (102) and the second housing element (104). The flexible hinge mechanism includes a flexible hinge element (106), a drag link (108) and a flexible connection strip (506). The flexible hinge element connects the two housing elements and is elastic in nature. The drag link also connecting the two housing elements and limits an opening angle between the two housing elements to an angle less than 180 degrees. The flexible connection strip is routed along the length of the flexible hinge element and connects electrical circuits in the two housing elements for exchange of signals.
