Abstract
A hinge device applicable to soft display screen ensures that the total amount of motion is uniformly distributed to every motional shaft. The hinge device includes multiple joint units and motional shafts. Each joint unit has a shaft fixing section and a shaft guide section assembled with the motional shafts. Each joint unit has a top portion, a first side and a second side. A rotary shaft is formed on the first side along the top portion. A socket is formed on the second side along the top portion. A (soft) display screen is disposed on the top portions of the joint units. The shaft guide section is defined with a first position and a second position. When a user opens/closes the display screen, the rotary shafts serve as rotational fulcrums and the motional shafts are rotatably movable between the first and second positions of the shaft guide section.
