Abstract

A flexible device is provided according to the present application, which includes a first sliding shaft, a second sliding shaft, a middle sliding shaft group and a connecting member group. The middle sliding shaft group includes multiple middle sliding shafts arranged in rows. The middle sliding shaft group is movably connected to the first sliding shaft and the second sliding shaft by the connecting member group. The flexible device can be bent along an extending direction of the middle sliding shaft group, and a bent portion of the flexible device is always of an arc-shaped structure. The flexible device according to the present application adopts a mechanical structure to realize a bending deformation thus can avoid problems of a degraded bending performance and breakage generated after the flexible device is frequently used in the conventional technology. An electronic device employing the flexible device is further provided.
