Patent ID: 7830316

Claim:
A foldable electronic device with an antenna, comprising: a first body having a holding recess at one side; a second body; a pivotal mechanism for pivotally connecting the first body to the second body, the pivotal mechanism comprising: a first pivot connected to the first body; and a second pivot connected to the second body and located at the other side of the first body opposite to the holding recess, wherein the first pivot is pivoted the second pivot to allow the first body to rotate relatively to the second body; an antenna pivotally disposed in the holding recess of the first body; and a driving element, wherein one end of the driving element is fixed to the second pivot, and the other end is fixed to one end of the antenna; wherein when the first body is opened relatively to the second body, the first pivot generates a first rotation displacement relatively to the second pivot, the first rotation displacement allows the driving element to generate a first linear displacement toward the first pivot, and the first linear displacement allows the antenna to generate a second rotation displacement to allow the antenna to extend out of the holding recess.
