In this way, the electronic apparatus <NUM> may be flattened from the folded state, and the possibility of damaging the electronic apparatus <NUM> caused by folding backwards may be reduced.

The rotating arm <NUM> may include one or more connecting arms (e.g., a first connecting arm <NUM> and a second connecting arm <NUM>) and a rotating connection portion <NUM>. The number of the connecting arms may be one or more.

Under the action of the spring <NUM>, the rotating shaft <NUM> moves in an opposite direction, so as to keep the rotating shaft <NUM> stable and improve stability of the electronic apparatus <NUM>. When the rotating shaft <NUM> and the rotating shaft <NUM> are rotated, the abutting member <NUM>, the abutting member <NUM>, the abutting member <NUM>, the abutting member <NUM>, the abutting member <NUM>, and the abutting member <NUM> are rotated simultaneously, which in turn drives the supporting member <NUM> to move, thereby supporting the display module <NUM>. Under the rotation of the rotating arm <NUM> and the rotating arm <NUM>, a distance between the rotating arm <NUM> and the buffer arm may change, such that the connecting shaft <NUM> slides in the strip through holes such as the first strip through hole <NUM> and the second strip through hole <NUM>.
