When the magnetic structure 43 receives the pop-up electrical signal from the electronic device, the magnetic structure 43 is powered on to lose magnetism, and then loses the attraction force to the second display screen 20, the second display screen 20 moves along the sliding rail 50 to the sliding entrance of the inner cavity of the upper housing 30 under the restoring force of the elastic element 41 in the pressed state until the second display screen 20 completely pops up the inner cavity of the housing 30, and then the magnetic structure 43 is powered off to recover magnetism, at this time, the electronic device completes the pop-up process of the second display screen 20, and the second display screen 20 and the rear camera 23 are in working states. Here, in the state of fig. 4, in order to ensure that the second display 20 can stably operate, the elastic member 41 is still in a compressed state and the restoring force is upward.

The second display screen 20 retracting process (i.e., the process of changing from the state shown in fig. 4 to the state shown in fig. 6): when the second display screen 20 needs to be retracted into the inner cavity of the housing 30, the second display screen 20 is pressed downwards by a hand, at this time, the elastic member 41 contracts under the action of the pressing force, the second display screen 20 moves downwards along the sliding rail until the second display screen 20 is in contact with the power-off magnetic structure 43 (with magnetism after power-off), the magnetic structure 43 adsorbs the second display screen 20 by magnetic force, and the second display screen 20 and the rear camera 23 are in a standby state, so that the retraction process of the second display screen 20 is completed.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the second display screen 20 is in the pop-up state and the electronic device falls, and the falling contact point is the top of the second display screen 20 or the bottom of the first display screen 10, the elastic member 41 may provide a buffer for the whole electronic device, so as to reduce the probability of failure of the second display screen 20 or the first display screen 10 or the electronic device.
