Abstract

A hinge structure includes a hinge, a first bracket, a second bracket and a third bracket. The first bracket and the second bracket are pivoted with each other through the hinge, wherein the second bracket has a first connecting portion. The third bracket has a second connecting portion, wherein the second connecting portion is rotatably connected to the first connecting portion. When the third bracket receives a force and wobbles, the second connecting portion rotates relatively to the first connecting portion, and a kinetic energy of the third bracket is consumed by a kinetic friction between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. In addition, an electronic device having the hinge structure is also provided.
