Abstract
An electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing, and a hinge device which foldably interconnects the first housing and the second housing with a folding axis extending in a first direction. A hinge housing accommodates a portion of the hinge device and is disposed between the first housing and the second housing. A first electrical object is disposed in the first housing, a second electrical object is disposed in the second housing, and a flexible connection assembly interconnects the first electrical object and the second electrical object. The connection assembly includes a connection member disposed in the hinge housing. The connection assembly electrically interconnects the first electrical object and the second electrical object. A support unit is coupled to the connection member. A sliding connection unit connects the support unit to each of the first housing and the second housing and is slidable perpendicular to the first direction.
