A user can hold the contacting part of the display element 12, the first body 111 and the second body 112 of the electronic device 10 b. Therefore, a distance between the center of gravity of the electronic device 10 b and the hand of the user, that is the arm of force of the user hand relative to the gravity, is shortened; and the moment caused by the gravity to the hand is also shortened. The user does not have to provide a large moment for resisting the moment caused by the gravity to the electronic device 10 b. Thus, the user can hold the electronic device 10 b with its ergonomic design in folding shapes.
  • According to the electronic device of the present disclosure, by using the first body, the second body and a part of the display element to form a triangle together, or by moving the first body and the second body relatively to each other to form an acute angle for supporting the display element to form an acute angle with the first body, the second body can support the display element remaining erected. Therefore, the electronic device itself can be used for erecting the display element without having the users to install other accessories. Also, the user can save the costs for purchasing other accessories and can avoid having to additionally carry other accessories with the electronic device. Furthermore, since a part of the display element is contacting directly the first body and the second body, the center of gravity of the electronic device is changed. When the user holds the overlapping part of the display element, the first body and the second body, the user does not have to provide a large moment for resisting the moment caused by the gravity to the electronic device. Therefore, it is convenient and comfortable for the user to handle.
