The folding electronic device 100 may include a folding hinge structure 10, a first housing 20, a second housing 30, and a flexible screen 40. The two opposite sides of the foldable electronic device 100 are respectively connected to the first housing 20 and the second housing 30, so that the first housing 20 and the second housing 30 can be relatively rotated or rotated back to back through the foldable rotating shaft structure 10, and the switch between the flat state and the folded state is realized. The flexible screen 40 is disposed on the first housing 20, the folding spindle structure 10 and the second housing 30. Specifically, the first casing 20 includes a first surface, the second casing 30 includes a second surface, the flexible screen 40 continuously covers the first surface of the first casing 20, the folding spindle structure 10 and the second surface of the second casing 30, and the flexible screen 40 is respectively and fixedly connected to the first surface of the first casing 20 and the second surface of the second casing 30.
It is understood that in some implementations, the flexible screen 40 may be used to display information and provide an interactive interface for a user, and the flexible screen 40 may be fixedly connected to the first housing 20 and the second housing 30 by using glue, etc. The first casing 20 and the second casing 30 may respectively form an installation space for installing electronic components such as a circuit board, a battery, a receiver, a speaker, a camera, etc. of the foldable electronic device 100.
