technical field

The invention relates to an electronic device.

Background technique

At present, portable electronic devices such as notebook computers and mobile phones mostly adopt a foldable structure, and the screens and bases of these electronic devices are connected by hinges. When needed to use, the screen is flipped open relative to the base.
