  • Electronic device capable of adjusting orientation of display content in response to rotation of a support
    Patent number: 8599570
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a front frame, a back cover, a support stand rotatably connected to the back cover, a display panel and a circuit board. The display panel and the circuit board are fixed between the front frame and the back cover. The circuit board includes a first contact and a number of second contacts. The second contacts surround the first contact. The support includes a central shaft and a third contact. The central shaft is electrically connected to the first contact. The third contact rotates with the rotation of the central shaft to contact each of the second contacts. The circuit board includes a circuit and a processor. The electric circuit generates different signals when the first contact is connected different second contacts. The processor adjusts an orientation of display content on the display panel to rotate based on the signal.
