Embodiment Construction

[0029]Below, the embodiments are described in detail to demonstrate the technical contents of the present disclosure.

[0030]Referring to FIG. 1, a perspective view schematically shows a portable electronic device 20 with a flexible support structure 10 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The present disclosure proposes a flexible support structure 10 to support a portable electronic device 20. The flexible support structure 10 comprises two support members symmetrically arranged on two opposite sides 202 of the portable electronic device 20. The present disclosure does not restrict that the flexible support member 11 should be arranged symmetrically on the portable electronic device 20 but allows the flexible support member 11 to be arbitrarily arranged on the portable electronic device 20. The flexible support member 11 can be deformed and maintain the post-deformation shape to attain various positions, whereby the flexible support structure 10 can support the por...
