Abstract

A wide-angle double-hinge structure to allow an electronic device to flip at different angles includes a coupling plate, a resistant hinge and a cam hinge. The double-hinge structure couples a first chassis and a second chassis of the electronic device to enable users to selectively flip in an ordinary notebook computer operating condition or a back-to-back operating condition according to their preference. Thus the users can selectively perform input operation in a handheld or desktop fashion.
