Patent attributes
A portable computer includes a base, a display module, a support element and a cam structure. The base comprises a first area and a second area. The display module includes a connecting end and a display face. The support element includes a first end connected pivotally to a portion of the display module other than the display face and a second end connected pivotally to the rear end of the base. Two ends of the cam structure are connected pivotally to the base and the support element. Accordingly, the support element is connected indirectly and pivotally to the base. When the display module is slid and rotated relative to the base to change a notebook state or a tablet state, the support element does not interfere the movement of the display module and keep the flatness of the whole appearance of the portable computer.
