Abstract
An electronic device with retractable stylus. The electronic device comprises a main body and a stylus. The stylus comprises a resilient member disposed therein and a latching mechanism for engaging the main body. To connect the stylus and the main body, the resilient member is deformed and the latching mechanism is engaged with the main body. When the latching mechanism separates from the main body, the resilient member exerts force to extend the stylus to make the stylus protruded from the main body.
