## Abstract

An electronic device is provided, the electronic device includes a first display screen and a second display screen, the first display screen and the second display screen are articulated to the same side of a control system, and can rotate up and down, and can display page information, the page information displayed by the first display screen and the second display screen is the same or different according to a selection of a user. The two display screens of a display apparatus can display page information for the user in multiple display forms and display modes, which greatly enriches the display manner of the electronic device and improves user experience.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electronic device, comprising a first display screen and a second display screen; wherein the first display screen and the second display screen are articulated to the same side of a control system; the first display screen and the second display screen are configured to, in a case that both the first display screen and the second display screen are in an operating state, display page information, and the page information displayed by the first display screen and the second display screen is the same or different according to a selection signal of a user.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the first display screen is an electronic paper screen, and the first display screen is rotatable about an axis at the articulation position and is fixable at any position within a rotation range of the first display screen; and
the second display screen is an organic light-emitting diode display screen, and the second display screen rotatable about an axis at the articulation position and is fixable at any position within a rotation range of the second display screen.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the second display screen is a transparent light-emitting diode display screen.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The electronic device according to claim 3, wherein the first display screen and the transparent light-emitting diode display screen are configured to cooperate with each other to display page information in the case that both the first display screen and the transparent light-emitting diode display screen are fixed at a position with the same angle.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The electronic device according to claim 4, wherein the first display screen is configured to display first page information; the transparent light-emitting diode display screen is configured to display second page information; the first page information is different from the second page information.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)
