In the embodiment, the bottom portion of the plurality of recessed portions 204 is provided with a second conductive portion 205 (see FIG. 7). In the embodiment, the second conductive portion 205 is a metal layer 205. The number of the groove portions 204 is determined according to the number of wires in the wires of the second connector 40, and the metal layers 205 of each of the groove portions 204 are electrically connected to a wire in the wires of the second connector 40, respectively.

The first arc portion 102 of the first outer casing 101 is disposed such that when the display screen 20 is changed from the closed state to the open state, the metal layer 105 of the protruding portion 104 of the first outer casing 101 and the concave portion of the second outer casing 201 are respectively The metal layers 205 of the groove portions 204 are in contact such that the first connector 30 and the second connector 40 establish electrical connection through the metal layer 105 of the protrusions 104 and the metal layer 205 of the groove portions 204.

In the present embodiment, the first outer casing 101 is further covered with a protective casing 50 for shielding the protruding portion 104 of the first outer casing 101 such that the protruding portion 104 is not exposed.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, when the display screen 20 is in the closed state, the protruding portion 104 of the first outer casing 101 is separated from the groove portion 204 of the second outer casing 201, so that the first connector 30 and The second connector 40 is not electrically connected so that the host 10 and the display screen 20 are not electrically connected. When the display screen 20 is in the open state, the protruding portion 104 of the first outer casing 101 is engaged with the groove portion 204 of the second outer casing 201, thereby electrically connecting the first connector 30 and the second connector 40, thereby the main body 10 and The display screen 20 establishes an electrical connection.

In the second embodiment of the present invention, the notebook computer 1a includes a first housing 101a and a second housing 201a, and the notebook computer 1a and the notebook computer 1 differ only in that the first housing 101a has a first arc formed at its end. The outer surface of the first arcuate portion 102a is a circular arc surface 103a, and the circular arc surface 103a is formed with a plurality of groove portions 104a that are isolated from each other. The second outer casing 201a includes a second arc portion 202a at an end thereof, and an inner surface of the second arc portion 202a is a circular arc surface 203a formed with a plurality of mutually separated projections 204a.

With the present invention, since the first housing 101 of the main body 10 and the second housing 201 of the display screen 20 are respectively provided with connectors capable of engaging the first conductive portion 105 and the second conductive portion 205, and the connector is fixed to the housing Therefore, the opening and closing of the display 20 does not drive the movement of the connector, and thus, the connector is not easily damaged.
