Abstract
Disclosed is a retractable door handle assembly for a vehicle. The assembly includes: a retractable door handle installed in a door of the vehicle to be projected or retracted further to the outside in a width direction of the vehicle than a outer door panel constituting the door; and a linkage connected to the door handle to support the door handle so that the door handle pops out to the outside in the width direction of the vehicle and pops in to the inside in the width direction of the vehicle. The linkage includes a main link having one end connected to the door handle, and an auxiliary link having one end connected to the main link to support a pivot movement of the main link, and as a result, pop-out and pop-in operations of the door handle can be stably performed.
