    摘要: A foldable electronic device is provided, including an input module, a pivot member, a display module, and a hinge mechanism. The display module is rotatably connected to the pivot member, and the pivot member is rotatably connected to the input module via the hinge mechanism. Specifically, when the display module and the pivot member are unfolded less than a specific angle relative to the input module, a latch of the hinge mechanism is joined in an opening of the display module, so as to prevent rotation of the display module relative to the pivot member.

    摘要: A key structure including a base, a light sensing module, a carrier, a magnetic member, a cap, and a scissor structure are provided. The light sensing module is disposed at the base. The carrier is located above the base. The magnetic member is disposed on the carrier. The cap is adapted to be assembled to the carrier via a magnetic attracting force of the magnetic member or adapted to be detached from the carrier via overcoming the magnetic attracting force of the magnetic member. The scissor structure is connected between the base and the carrier. The carrier and the cap disposed thereon move up and down relative to the base via the scissor structure. An orthogonal projection of the magnetic member on the base is not overlapped with an orthogonal projection of the light sensing module on the base. A keyboard is also provided.

    摘要: An electronic device includes a casing, a driven component, a magnetic component and an electromagnetic component. The casing has an outer surface, an inner surface, and an accommodating groove penetrating through the outer surface and the inner surface. The driven component is movably disposed in the accommodating groove. The magnetic component is connected to the driven component. The electromagnetic component is aligned with the magnetic component, and the magnetic component and the electromagnetic component are located at the same side of the inner surface. When the electromagnetic component isn't powered, the magnetic component and the electromagnetic component are attracted to each other, and the driven component is positioned at a first position. When the electromagnetic component is powered, the magnetic component and the electromagnetic component are repulsed to each other so as to drive the driven component to move from the first position to the second position.

    摘要: An electronic device includes a first body, a hinge structure, a second body, a cover plate, a fulcrum, a lever element, a stand and a second gear. The first body has a convection groove and an accommodation groove. The hinge structure includes a driving element and a first gear arranged at the first body. The second body is pivoted to the first body through the hinge structure. The cover plate is movably disposed at the first body. The fulcrum is disposed at the first body. The lever element is pivoted to the fulcrum, wherein the lever element includes a first end and a second end. The driving element abuts against the first end, and the second end is movably coupled to the cover plate. The stand is movably disposed at the first body. The second gear is connected to the stand and coupled to the first gear.

    摘要: An electronic device includes a first body, a second body, a shaft, a cam, a cover plate, a fulcrum and a lever element. The first body has a convection groove. The shaft is connected to the second body. The fulcrum is connected to the shaft and disposed in the first body. The second body is pivoted to the first body through the shaft and the cam. The cover plate is movably disposed on the first body and configured to operably hide the convection groove. The fulcrum is disposed in the first body. The lever element is disposed in the first body and pivots about the fulcrum. The lever element includes a first end and a second end, respectively located at two opposite sides of the fulcrum. The cam abuts against the first end, and the second end is movably coupled to the cover plate.

    摘要: A portable electronic apparatus with multiple screens includes a first screen and a second screen movably coupled to the first screen along an arcuate path to be received in the first screen or moved out of the first screen. The first screen and the second screen face a same side of the portable electronic apparatus. The second screen includes a base, a lifting mechanism disposed on the base, and a display unit. The display unit is disposed on the lifting mechanism to be driven by the lifting mechanism to be lifted or lowered relative to the base. When the second screen is moved out of the first screen and a step is provided between a display surface of the display unit and a display surface of the first screen, the display unit is adapted to be lifted relative to the base through the lifting mechanism to compensate the step.
