The second body is closed relative to the first body, the second body covers the first radiation penetrating part, the antenna module is rotated through the magnetic repulsion between the second magnetic part and the first magnetic part, so that the electromagnetic wave generated by the antenna module The first body is transmitted through the second radiation penetrating part.

Based on the above, the foldable electronic device pivots the antenna module to the first body, and when the second body is closed relative to the first body, the antenna module transmits the magnetic repulsion between the second magnetic part and the first magnetic part By being rotated, the electromagnetic waves emitted by the antenna module can be transmitted out of the first body through the second radiation penetrating part. Accordingly, the foldable electronic device created by the present invention can effectively prevent the signal of the antenna module from being shielded.
