A foldable electronic device has a first housing, a second housing, a central shaft assembly, and two shielding members. In a first direction, the first housing and the second housing are respectively connected to two opposite sides of the central shaft assembly. Each shielding member includes a first shielding body, a second shielding body, and a third shielding body. The second shielding body and the third shielding body are located at two opposite sides of the first shielding body. In a second direction, the second shielding body is located at a side of the first shielding body facing the central shaft assembly and is partially stacked with the first shielding body, and the third shielding body is located at the side of the first shielding body facing the central shaft assembly and is partially stacked with the first shielding body.

This application relates to the electronic field, and in particular, to a foldable electronic device.
At present, foldable electronic devices are increasingly popular in the market. Take a foldable smartphone characterized by a flexible and bendable screen as an example. After the screen is bent, a dimension of the screen is similar to that of a common smartphone, and the foldable smartphone with the bent screen is easy to carry and use. After the screen is unfolded, a dimension of the screen is similar to that of a tablet computer, and entertainment or office functions are convenient to use on the unfolded screen. The foldable smartphone has advantages of the electronic device and the tablet computer, thereby meeting current consumer's needs. However, the bendable screen is more likely to break because of its large area and frequent folding activities. Therefore, screen protection is very important. Locations at which the foldable electronic device is most vulnerable to damage are end parts of a folded part of the screen. Therefore, how to effectively increase strength of the end parts of the folded part becomes a problem that cannot be avoided by the foldable electronic device.
An objective of this application is to provide a foldable electronic device with a high-strength end part appearance shielding member.
To describe the technical solutions in this application more clearly, the following briefly describes the accompanying drawings required for describing the implementations. It is clear that the accompanying drawings in the following description show merely some implementations of this application, and a person of ordinary skill in the art may still derive other drawings from these accompanying drawings without creative efforts.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a foldable electronic device in a folded state at an angle according to an embodiment of this application;
FIG. 2 is a schematic exploded diagram of a display and a main body of a foldable electronic device according to an embodiment of this application;
The following describes the specific implementations of this application in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the accompanying drawings show example implementations of this application, it should be understood that this application may be implemented in another manner different from that described herein. Therefore, this application is not limited to the following implementations.
For ease of understanding, terms in embodiments of this application are first explained. “A plurality of” means “two or more”.
Connection should be understood in a broad sense. For example, if A is connected to B, A may be directly connected to B, or A and B can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium.
