ABSTRACT:
A foldable electronic device includes a first body having a display and a screen for protecting the display, and a second body having a plurality of operation keys. The first and second are rotatable to each other through a hinge. The first and second bodies have first and second surfaces facing each other when the electronic device is folded. The operation keys project by a height from the second surface, and the first body is formed a recess at the first surface, the recess having a depth equal to or greater than the height. The second body has a projection projecting from the second surface. The first body has an elastic piece through which the screen is mounted on the first body such that the screen moves in the recess in a depth-wise direction of the recess. The projection pushes the screen when the electronic device is folded, thereby the elastic piece being compressed, and the elastic piece pushes the screen back when the electronic device is unfolded.
