Description of the invention (2) With the increasing number of mobile phones with color screens, if mobile phones The color screen is continuously in a full-screen display state, and its power consumption will be much greater than the power consumption of the monochrome or grayscale screens. As a result, the power supplied by the battery loaded in the mobile phone is insufficient. Therefore, when a mobile phone equipped with a color screen is not in use, the backlight module of the color screen is usually automatically turned off to save power, and then its color screen no longer displays the full screen mode and enters a power saving mode, and only Show time or date. Then, when the user presses a specific key again, the color screen will return to full-screen mode. In addition, most mobile phones use automatic timing (such as when the user is no longer using the mobile phone after 10 seconds) to turn off the backlight module of the screen and switch the mobile phone to standby mode. Among them, the mobile phone The time to enter the standby mode can be set by the user. [Summary of the Invention] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a handheld electronic device with multiple display modes, which drives the screen to switch to one of a plurality of display modes by rotating a cover.
