Abstract

An electronic device includes first and second bodies pivoted to each other and a supporting mechanism. The supporting mechanism includes a position-limiting component slidably disposed on the first body, a pushing component slidably disposed on the first body and a supporting component pivoted on the first body. When the second body is closed to the first body and presses the position-limiting component downward, the pushing component is limited at a first position by the position-limiting component to be away from the supporting component and the supporting component is retracted to the first body. When the second body is expanded from the first body, the position-limiting component is adapted to move upward to release the pushing component and the pushing component is adapted to move to a second position to push the supporting component, such that the supporting component is expanded from the first body and supports the second body.
