We have observed the Class 0/I protostellar system Ced110 IRS4 at an angular resolution of 0.05′′ (∼10 au) as a part of the ALMA large program; Early Planet Formation in the Embedded Disks (eDisk). The 1.3 mm dust continuum emission reveals that Ced110 IRS4 is a binary system with a projected separation of ∼250 au. The continuum emissions associated with the main source and its companion, named Ced110 IRS4A and IRS4B respectively, exhibit disk-like shapes and likely arise from dust disks around the protostars. The continuum emission of Ced110 IRS4A has a radius of ∼91.7 au (∼0.485′′), and shows bumps along its major axis with an asymmetry. The bumps can be interpreted as an shallow, ring-like structure at a radius of ∼40 au (∼0.2′′) in the continuum emission, as demonstrated from two-dimensional intensity distribution models. A rotation curve analysis on the C18O and 13CO J=2-1 lines reveals the presence of a Keplerian disk within a radius of 120 au around Ced110 IRS4A, which supports the interpretation that the dust continuum emission arises from a disk. The ring-like structure in the dust continuum emission might indicate a possible, annular substructure in the surface density of the embedded disk, although the possibility that it is an apparent structure due to the optically thick continuum emission cannot be ruled out.
