Abstract
An electronic device with a fold mode and an unfold mode includes a display module and an input module. The display module includes a first connecting component, a second connecting component and a flexible displaying panel. The second connecting component rotates relative to the first connecting component via a first direction to form as the fold mode or the unfold mode. The flexible displaying panel is disposed on the first connecting component and the second connecting component. The flexible displaying panel is bent to be U-shaped when the display module is formed as the fold mode. The flexible displaying panel is flat when the display module is formed as the unfold mode, and a planar normal vector points toward a second direction. The input module is rotatably connected to the display module via a third direction.
