ABSTRACT:
A latch device for a portable computer secures a main body to a foldable display. The main body may be folded onto or unfolded with respect to the display about a hinge. The latch device may include a latch installation portion that is formed on a rear case of the display; a latch that is seated in the latch installation portion and may include a hook which passes through a front case of the display and protrudes forward from a front end of the display to be selectively hooked into a catching groove on the main body; and an elastic member that provides an elastic force in a direction in which the hook of the latch is hooked into the catching groove of the main body. A release mechanism that is exposed to the exterior of an end of the display to receive a driving force inputted for moving the latch. Accordingly, the locking engagement between the display and the main body of the portable computer is more secure, and the latch is easily assembled and disassembled.
