Abstract

A foldable electronic device is provided, including a first body, a second body, a supporting member, a first hinge connecting the first body and the supporting member, a second hinge connecting the supporting member and the second body, and a gravity-type latch movably disposed in the supporting member. The first body and the supporting member are rotated relatively to be folded or unfolded via the first hinge, and the second body and the supporting member are rotated relatively to be folded or unfolded via the second hinge. In a transforming process of the first body folding to the supporting member and together unfolding relative to the second body, the gravity-type latch is latched onto the first body once the unfolding angle is less than a predetermined value, and the gravity-type latch is de-latched from the first body once the unfolding angle is equal to or greater than the predetermined value.
