Abstract:
1. An electronic device comprising: two display casings each having a display included therein; a connecting member comprising two rotation shafts arranged in parallel to each other and coupled to respective ones of the two display casings so as to allow each of the two display casings to rotate toward each other to place the two display casings in a closed state, in which the displays of the two display casings substantially face each other, and rotate away from each other to place the two display casings in an open state, in which the displays of the two display casings are substantially in the same plane; and a sliding mechanism configured to allow respective sides of each of the two display casings to move toward each other and contact each other so as to allow the displays of the two display casings to form a single larger display area, wherein when the two display casings are in the open state and the respective sides of the two display casings are in contact with each other, the connecting member is fully enclosed within the two display casings, and when the two display casings are in a closed state, at least a portion of the connecting member is located outside of the two display casings.
