A stand (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60) for a handheld device, characterized in that the stand comprising: a first plate (11, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61) having a first area and a second area opposite to the first area thereof; a second plate (12, 22, 32, 42, 52, 62) having a first area and a second area opposite to the first area thereof; wherein the first area of the first plate is pivotally connected to the first area of the second plate, to form a pivot portion (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6); a lifting device (13, 23, 33, 43, 53) arranged between the first plate and the second plate; the lifting device including: an elastic sheet (131, 231, 331, 431, 531, 631) having a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion disposed on the second area of the first plate; a limiting device adapted to guide the elastic sheet to move along a length direction of the second plate within a limited range; when the second end portion of the elastic sheet and the pivot portion proceed to a first relative displacement, the second area of the first plate is adapted to be driven to generate a second relative displacement relative to the second area of the second plate; and when the first relative displacement increases, the second relative displacement also increases, and the elastic sheet is gradually deformed into an arc shape, whereas when the first relative displacement becomes smaller, the second relative displacement becomes smaller. a first plate (11, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61) having a first area and a second area opposite to the first area thereof; a second plate (12, 22, 32, 42, 52, 62) having a first area and a second area opposite to the first area thereof; wherein the first area of the first plate is pivotally connected to the first area of the second plate, to form a pivot portion (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6); a lifting device (13, 23, 33, 43, 53) arranged between the first plate and the second plate; the lifting device including: an elastic sheet (131, 231, 331, 431, 531, 631) having a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion disposed on the second area of the first plate; a limiting device adapted to guide the elastic sheet to move along a length direction of the second plate within a limited range; when the second end portion of the elastic sheet and the pivot portion proceed to a first relative displacement, the second area of the first plate is adapted to be driven to generate a second relative displacement relative to the second area of the second plate; and when the first relative displacement increases, the second relative displacement also increases, and the elastic sheet is gradually deformed into an arc shape, whereas when the first relative displacement becomes smaller, the second relative displacement becomes smaller. an elastic sheet (131, 231, 331, 431, 531, 631) having a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion disposed on the second area of the first plate; a limiting device adapted to guide the elastic sheet to move along a length direction of the second plate within a limited range; when the second end portion of the elastic sheet and the pivot portion proceed to a first relative displacement, the second area of the first plate is adapted to be driven to generate a second relative displacement relative to the second area of the second plate; and when the first relative displacement increases, the second relative displacement also increases, and the elastic sheet is gradually deformed into an arc shape, whereas when the first relative displacement becomes smaller, the second relative displacement becomes smaller.
