Abstract

The invention provides a hinge for foldable type electronic apparatus comprising a first part (10), a second part (30) and an intermediate part (20). The first part is rotatably connected to the intermediate part about a first axis via a first rotating mechanism (21) and the second part is rotatably connected to the intermediate part via a second rotating mechanism (22). The first rotating mechanism is constructed such that the first unit can be rotated between an opening position and a closing position. The second rotating mechanism is configured such that the second unit can be rotated and can be positioned at least two rotation positions with respect to the intermediate unit. The present invention can set the first unit and the second unit at further different specific/predetermined open -angle positions except a closing position and a normal opening position.
