For example, when the control button 60 receives an instruction that the display device 30 is moved from the third side 13 of the main body 10 to the fourth side 14, the motor 41 of the driver 40 drives the shaft 43 to rotate the gear 42 clockwise. Thus, the tooth portion 21 of the driving transmission member 20 is moved from the third side 13 of the main body 10 to the fourth side 14. Conversely, when the control button 60 receives an instruction to move the display device 30 from the fourth side 14 of the main body 10 to the third side 13, the motor 41 of the driver 40 drives the shaft 43 to cause the gear 42 to rotate counterclockwise, thus The tooth portion 21 that drives the transmission member 20 is moved from the fourth side 14 of the main body 10 to the third side 13.

When the user presses the control button 60 on the main body 10, the driver 40 drives the motor 41 according to the pulse signal sent from the control button 60, so that the rotating shaft 43 of the driver 40 drives the gear 42 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. In this way, the transmission member 20 engaged with the gear 42 can drive the display device 30 to be displaced relative to the main body 10 according to the rotation direction of the gear 42. In this way, the user can adjust the display device to an ergonomic position according to the viewing angle of the user, and can avoid accidentally touching the keyboard module 50 of the main body 10 when the touch function of the display device 30 is used. The situation of malfunction.
