US Patent 10564682 Hinge mechanism and flexible electronic device having the same

A flexible electronic device includes a flexible display, a support structure, and two hinge mechanisms. With the pivoting of first and second arm units of each hinge mechanism toward each other, a first inner arm is rotated with and moved relative to a first outer arm to bring a first support plate from a horizontal state to an upright state, and a second inner arm is rotated with and moved relative to a second outer arm to bring a second support plate from a horizontal state to an upright state so as to provide a leeway distance between the first and second inner arms and provide a leeway between the first and second support plate for the flexible display to be bendably received therein.
