Abstract

An electronic device includes a base having two opposite sidewalls, two carriers connected pivotally and respectively to the sidewalls, and two light guide plates respectively disposed on the carriers. The carriers are rotatable relative to the base between a first position, where the carriers cooperatively define a carrier surface, and a second position, where the carriers are parallel to each other. A flexible screen is superposed on the light guide plates, is expanded to a planar state when move along with the carriers to the first position, and is folded when move along with the carriers to the second position.
