Abstract:
1. A portable computer comprising: a base comprising, between a front end and a rear end, a base surface including a first area disposed at a front side of the base and a second area disposed at a rear side of the base, wherein the base surface has a slit; a display module comprising a connecting end, a display face, and a support plane opposite to the display face; at least one supporting element, with each supporting element comprising a first fixed end and a second fixed end, with the first fixed end pivotally connected to a portion of the display module other than the display face with the display module rotatable relative to the at least one supporting element, with the second fixed end pivotally connected to the rear end of the base or to a proximity of the rear end of the base with the at least one supporting element rotatable relative to the base; and at least one sliding assembly, with each sliding assembly comprising a sliding block and a slide rail, wherein the slide rail is disposed below the base surface, with the slide rail disposed at least in the second area of the base and including upper and lower surfaces parallel to and spaced from the base surface, with the upper surface being intermediate the base surface and the lower surface, with the upper surface divided into first and second portions on opposite sides of the slit; wherein the sliding block comprises a pivoting portion, a sliding portion, and a connecting portion, wherein the sliding portion is connected to the pivoting portion via the connecting portion, wherein the connecting end of the display module is pivotally connected to the sliding block via the pivoting portion; wherein the sliding portion is disposed within the slide rail and includes an outer surface abutting with the upper and lower surfaces of the slide rail, wherein the connecting portion of the sliding block goes through the slit with the pivoting portion and a portion of the connecting portion protruding out of the base surface, wherein the slit has a width smaller than that of the sliding portion, wherein the outer surface includes at least one auxiliary sliding structure disposed on the sliding portion and abutting with at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of the slide rail to reduce friction between the sliding block and the slide rail; and wherein when the display module is opened and rotated to an angle relative to the base via the second fixed end of the support element, the display module further rotates around the first fixed end with the first fixed end serving as a pivot point and simultaneously drives the connecting end to move from the second area towards the first area to a position along with the sliding element; and wherein the display module is supported by the at least one support element to keep a tilted angle.
