Abstract: A rotating mechanism and a foldable electronic device is provided. The rotating mechanism includes a fixed base, a flexible support member, a first rotating member, and a second rotating member. A first rotating body of the first rotating member is installed in a first rotating groove of the fixed base and is slidable along the first rotating groove. When the first rotating body rotates relative to the fixed base along the first rotating groove, the flexible support member is driven to bend or unfold. A second rotating body is installed in a second rotating groove of the fixed base and is slidable along the second rotating groove. When the second rotating body rotates relative to the fixed base along the second rotating groove, the flexible support member is driven to bend or unfold.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a hinge module; a first housing, a second housing, and a flexible display. The first housing is connected to the hinge module. The second housing is connected to the hinge module. The flexible display is disposed through at least a portion of the first and second housings. The flexible display includes a display panel includes a first surface facing in a first direction and a second surface facing in a direction opposite, when the electronic device is in an unfolded state. The flexible display also includes a window layer disposed at the first surface and a metal sheet layer. The display panel, the window layer, and the metal sheet layer are disposed so that a separation distance between the display panel, the window layer, and the metal sheet layer and inner side walls of the first and second housings and generates different interlayer slips.

Abstract: A display module includes a display panel including a main body region, a first bendable region, a second bendable region and a back region, a buffer layer and a stress relief portion. The first bendable region and the second bendable region are both bent toward the back side of the display panel, and the back region is bent to be disposed opposite to the first bendable region. The buffer layer includes a first buffer portion corresponding to the main body region and a second buffer portion corresponding to the first bendable region, and an elastic modulus of the second buffer portion is less than that of the first buffer portion. The stress relief portion is configured to absorb and release a stress generated during a bending process of the second bendable region of the display panel.

Abstract: An electronic device includes two bodies, at least one hinge structure, a functional assembly, and at least one linkage structure. The two bodies are pivotally connected to each other through the hinge structure. The functional assembly is movably disposed on one of the two bodies. The linkage structure is connected between the two bodies, and the functional assembly is connected to the linkage structure. The linkage structure is adapted to drive the functional assembly to move relative to the corresponding body as the two bodies are rotated relative to each other.
