The first bending part 31 of the screen 8 corresponds to the first deformation part 83, which is used to accommodate and protect the first deformation part 83 in the target posture. The second bending part 32 corresponds to the second deformation part 84, which is used to support the second deformation part 84 in the target posture. The third bending part 33 corresponds to the third deformation part 85, which is used to accommodate and protect the third deformation part 85 in the target posture, thereby improving the protection effect of the screen 8.

[0077] In a specific embodiment, the electronic device can include a first body 1, a second body 2 and a connecting mechanism 3. The first body 1 is connected with the second body 2 through the connecting mechanism 3. The first body 1 meets the target relative position relationship with the second body 2 through the connecting mechanism 3, and the first body 1 at least partially blocks the second body 2 to represent that the electronic device is in the target posture. If the electronic device is in the target posture, the first body 1 and the second body 2 are in the target relative position relationship to form a gap through all the sides of the electronic device. The connecting mechanism 3 is applied to the electronic device, and the electronic device can be a mobile terminal, especially a mobile terminal with a bendable screen 8, such as a mobile phone, a PDA, a notebook computer or a tablet computer, etc.

The two rotating shafts of the third rotating group 36 rotate to drive the formation of a second containing space, which can make part of the screen 8 deformation area 80 located in the first containing space, thereby protecting the screen 8. The rotation of the two rotating shafts of the first rotating group 34 and the rotation of the two rotating shafts of the third rotating group 36 drive the second rotating group 35 to move, so that the first rotating group 34 or the third rotating group 36 can drive the second rotating group 35 to move when moving. When the screen 8 includes a first deformation part 83, a second deformation part 84, and a third deformation part 85, the first deformation part 83 can be located in the first containing space to protect the first deformation part 83, and the third deformation part 85 can be located in the second containing space to protect the third deformation part 85.

[0095] In combination Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the electronic device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can include a first body 1, a second body 2, a connecting mechanism 3, and a screen 8 that can be deformed. The first body 1 is flip-connected with the second body 2 through the connecting mechanism 3. A first area 81 of the screen 8 covers a first surface 11 of the first body 1, a second area 82 of the screen 8 covers a second surface 22 of the second body 2, and the screen 8 can further include a deformation area 80 between the first area 81 and the second area 82.

[0097] If the electronic device switches from the target posture to the first posture, the first area 81, the second area 82, and the deformable area 80 of the display screen 8 are longer than the sum of the first shell wall 14 of the first body 1 and the second shell wall 25 of the second body 2. The first shell wall 14 intersects with the side of the connecting mechanism 3 corresponding to the electronic device in the target posture; the second shell wall 25 intersects with the side of the connecting mechanism 3 corresponding to the electronic device in the target posture. That is, the first shell wall 14 intersects with the first side 4 of the connecting mechanism 3 corresponding to the electronic device in the target posture; the second shell wall 25 intersects with the first side 4 of the connecting mechanism 3 corresponding to the electronic device in the target posture. Figure 13 As shown, the first shell wall 14 can be the part of the second side 5 of the electronic device located on the first body 1 when the electronic device is in the target posture, and the second shell wall 25 can be the part of the second side 5 of the electronic device located on the second body 2 when the electronic device is in the target posture. The length of the first shell wall 14 can be L1, the length of the second shell wall 25 can be L2, and the sum of the lengths of the first area 81, the second area 82, and the deformable area 80 of the display screen 8 is L3, where L3 > L1 + L2.

[0098] Optionally, the first shell wall 14 can be the part of the first body 1 that is opposite to the first region 81, and the second shell wall 25 can be the part of the second body 2 that is opposite to the second region 82. The first region 81, the second region 82, and the deformable region 80 of the display screen 8 are longer than the sum of the first shell wall 14 of the first body 1 and the second shell wall 25 of the second body 2.

[0099] If the electronic device switches from the target posture to the first posture, the first area 81, the second area 82, and the deformable area 80 of the display screen 8 are longer than the sum of the first shell wall 14 of the first body 1 and the second shell wall 25 of the second body 2, thus achieving a wider screen playback effect and meeting the needs of larger screens. When the first body 1 and the second body 2 are in the target posture, the size of the electronic device does not increase, making it easy to carry.

[0100] Optionally, during the folding process between the second body 2 and the first body 1, the first rotating group 34 rotates toward the side covering the screen 8, the third rotating group 36 rotates toward the side covering the screen 8, and the second rotating group 35 rotates toward the side away from the screen 8, so as to fold between the first body 1 and the second body 2, and the deformable area 80 of the screen 8 between the first body 1 and the second body 2 is folded along the first rotating group 34, the second rotating group 35 and the third rotating group 36; during the unfolding process between the second body 2 and the first body 1, the first rotating group 34 rotates toward the side away from the screen 8, the third rotating group 36 rotates toward the side away from the screen 8, and the second rotating group 35 rotates toward the side covering the screen 8, so as to unfold the deformable area 80 of the screen 8 between the first body 1 and the second body 2.

[0101] If the electronic device is in the target posture, the first rotation group 34, the second rotation group 35 and the third rotation group 36 are all curved surfaces; if the electronic device is in the first posture, the screen 8 deformation area 80 located in the first rotation group 34, the second rotation group 35 and the third rotation group 36 is a flat surface. Based on the specific use requirements of the electronic device, the state of the first rotation group 34, the second rotation group 35 and the third rotation group 36 can be switched, and the state of the screen 8 of the screen 8 deformation area 80 is adjusted, so as to facilitate the use requirements of different use environments and user groups, and avoid the problem of inconvenience caused by a single curved surface structure.
