In this embodiment, both the first side edge 210Ae1 and the second side edge 210Ae2 of the display screen 210A move toward each other on the cover surface CS of the casing 201 to bend the display screen 210A.

However, the present invention is not limited to this. In another embodiment, when the display screen 210A wants to switch to the second state, the first side edge 210Ae1 thereof is fixed, but faces the first side through the second side edge 210Ae2 The edge 210Ae1 moves to bend the display screen 210A. Therefore, the bent display screen 210A is located on one side of the casing 201 (as shown in FIG. 11 ). On the contrary, in another embodiment, the second side edge 210Ae2 may be fixed, but the display screen 210A can be bent by moving the first side edge 210Ae1 toward the second side edge 210Ae2. Therefore, the bent display screen 210A is located on the other side of the casing 201 (as shown in FIG. 12 ).

Referring to FIG. 13 , when the first body 100 and the second body 200A of the notebook computer 20 are extended to 360 degrees from each other, the first surface 100s1 on the first body 100 faces away from the second body 200A. That is, the input module 110 (as shown in FIG. 10 ) is located on the side of the first body 100 away from the display screen 210A. Therefore, in order to increase the user's operational convenience, the notebook computer 20 can wirelessly connect the first input device 310 and the second input device 320 . For example, the first user USR1 operates the first input device 310 according to the first display information CT1 on the first sub-display surface DS_S1 of the display screen 210A, and the second user USR2 operates on the second sub-display surface according to the display screen 210A The second display information CT2 of DS_S2 performs the operation of the second input device 320, and the first display information CT1 is different from the second display information CT2 (as shown in FIG. 14A and FIG. 14B ). In other embodiments, the input devices can also be operated through wired connections, but not limited thereto.

That is, when the display screen 210A operates in the independent mode, the first user USR1 and the second user USR2 can independently operate the operating system of the notebook computer 20 through the external input devices to perform their respective work contents. It is particularly mentioned that, through the above configuration, the notebook computer 20 can have a wider operating space in the shared mode, thereby improving the user's operating experience.

On the other hand, similar to the notebook computer 10 of the aforementioned embodiment, the third sub-display surface DS_S3 of the display screen 210A of the notebook computer 20 in the bent state may also have a touch sensing area TS_Z. The touch sensing area TS_Z can be provided with a plurality of shortcut keys with different functions (such as volume, brightness, mode switching, font size, Wi-Fi setting and screen switching, etc.), so that the user can perform shortcut operations. The plurality of shortcut keys here can be defined by the third display information CT3 of the display screen 210A on the third sub-display surface DS_S3 (as shown in FIG. 14A and FIG. 14B ).

However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the display screen 210A operates in the merge mode, the display contents of the display screen 210A on the first sub-display surface DS_S1, the second sub-display surface DS_S2 and the third sub-display surface DS_S3 can be spliced into a complete and continuous display Information CT (shown in Figures 15A and 15B).

When the display screen 210A operates in the synchronous display mode, the first display information CT1 of the display screen 210A on the first sub-display surface DS_S1 is the same as the second display information CT2 of the display screen 210A on the second sub-display surface DS_S2 (as shown in FIG. 16A and 16B). At this time, the user of the notebook computer 20 can use this mode of the display screen 210A to conduct presentations or discussion of conference materials.

When the display screen 210A operates in the extension mode, the second display information CT2 of the display screen 210A on the second sub-display surface DS_S2 is an extension of the first display information CT1 of the display screen 210A on the first sub-display surface DS_S1 (as shown in FIG. 17A ). and Figure 17B), and vice versa. Different from the aforementioned merge mode, the third display information CT3 presented by the third sub-display surface DS_S3 in this mode is different from the first display information CT1 and the second display information CT2.

To sum up, in the notebook computer according to an embodiment of the present invention, the display screen of the second body has opposite side edges. The display screen switches between a bent state and a flat state. Accordingly, the visual orientation of the display screen can be increased to meet the needs of multiple people watching and the operation flexibility of the notebook computer.
