a hinge module;
a first body and a second body, each pivoted and slidably connected to the hinge module, wherein a cover of the hinge module is exposed out of the first body and the second body; and
a flexible display assembled to the first body and the second body, wherein the first body and the second body are rotated relatively via the hinge module to bend or flatten the flexible display, when the flexible display is bending from a flat state, a bending portion of the flexible display leans against the cover and pushes the cover away from the first body and the second body,
wherein the hinge module comprises a first guiding shaft and a second guiding shaft each rotated relative to the cover, the first guiding shaft extends from one side of the cover, the second guiding shaft extends from another side of the cover, the first body is slidably assembled to the first guiding shaft, and the second body is slidably assembled to the second guiding shaft.
