A portable electronic device, including a first unit, a second unit and a hinge structure, is disclosed. The first unit includes a first display portion, a first back portion and a first receiving groove disposed on the first back portion. The second unit includes a second display portion and a second back portion selectively stacked with the first back portion. The hinge structure is disposed in the first receiving groove of the first unit and includes a fixing element disposed in the first receiving groove, a sliding element slidably disposed on the fixing element and a rotary element disposed on an outer side of the sliding element, wherein the second unit is pivoted to the rotary element via the second back portion. In this way, the hinge structure will not protrude outside the first and second units when the portable electronic device is in the folded status.
