Abstract

A portable electronic device includes a body and a support structure. The support structure pivotally connected to the body includes a first structural member and a second structural member, and the first structural member is pivotally connected to the body along a first axis. The second structural member pivotally connected to the first structural member along a second axis includes a first support region and a second support region. The combination of the first structural member and the second structural member rotates around the first axis towards or away from the body, and when it rotates away from the body, the first support region leans against a first support surface. The second structural member rotates around the second axis towards or away from the body, and when it rotates away from the body, the second support region leans against the support surface.
