Abstract
An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention comprises: a housing including a front surface and a rear surface facing the direction opposite to the front surface; a support plate rotatably coupled to the rear surface of the housing, and rotating around a first axis from a position in which the support plate is in close contact with a partial area of the rear surface to an open state in which the support plate forms an angle with respect to the rear surface; and a hinge structure having at least a portion accommodated inside the housing, and rotatably coupling the support plate to the housing. Therein, the hinge structure can comprise: a first guide member mounted on and fixed to the inner side surface of the housing; a second guide member mounted on and fixed to one surface of the support plate; and a gear module for linking the first guide member and the second guide member, wherein the first axis can be positioned on the rear surface on the outside of the housing. The electronic device can vary according to embodiments.
