Abstract
The present application discloses an electronic device including a housing, support plates and a display panel. The housing is recessed inward to form one or more clearances penetrating the housing along a first direction. A number of the support plates is at least two, and one clearance is correspondingly arranged below adjoining parts of two adjacent support plates. The support plates are configured to support the display panel. The display panel is switchable between a folded position and an unfolded position. When the display panel is in the unfolded position, first surfaces of the support plates that abut against the display panel are flush. When the display panel is in the folded position, any two oppositely folded and adjacent support plates are separated by a part of the display panel that covers the any two oppositely folded and adjacent support plates when the display panel is in the unfolded position, and a part of the any two oppositely folded and adjacent support plates and a part of the display panel that covers the part of the any two oppositely folded and adjacent support plates when the display panel is in the unfolded position enter the clearance.
