Abstract
A hinge mechanism connectable with two housing shells for a flexible display to be attached thereto includes a base seat, a torque transmitting unit and two rotary members. The base seat defines therein a rail region and two mounting regions. Each mounting region is defined by an arcuate bottom wall and first and second ribs. The torque transmitting unit includes two transmitting shafts and a synchronously driving member. The rotary members are disposed at the mounting regions to be pivoted about the transmitting shafts so as to bring the housing shells into unfolded and folded states.
