Abstract: A switch, particularly a switching device or operating device, includes a flat display, wherein the flat display is provided for the visual display of at least one item of information related to a current or future condition of the switch or a system or machine associated with the switch. A more effective spatial arrangement of the switch components, and reduced energy consumption, is accomplished by a flat display of the switch of at least one embodiment, at least partially including an electrochromic material and electrodes. The electrodes are provided to supply particular regions of the electrochromic material with an electrical voltage, in order to thus activate a color change, and to provide one or more items of information to the use by means of an intelligent control.

Abstract: A keypad assembly for an electronic device where characters are displayed on the buttons has a flexible display laminate (105). The flexible display laminate has a driver layer (106) on which button regions of conductor (300) are formed. Surrounding the button regions are conductorless regions (312). The lack of conductor in the surrounding regions allows appropriate tactile feedback to a user when the user depresses an actuating member (112), through which character formed by the flexible display laminate may be seen, actuating a popple switch circuit which allows the device to detect the button press.

Abstract: An adaptable keypad or button utilizes a display laminate made up of a driving layer (108), an electrically active ink layer (110), and a transparent conductor layer (112). In a preferred embodiment, the display laminate is placed between a switch (302, 303, 304) and an actuating member. The driving layer has a series of symbols or characters created by conductor patterns (202, 204, 208, 210) in the shape of the symbols or characters. Some of the conductor segments are used exclusively by one character, some are used exclusively by another character, and some may be common to both characters. The conductors making up the desired character or symbol to be displayed are electrically energized, causing a corresponding pattern in the electrically active ink layer to appear. If the character or symbol needs to be changed to the alternate symbol on the button, then the first character image is erased from the active ink, and the second conductor set is electrically energized to form an image of the second character in the active ink.

Abstract: Examples of performing an update of a display device are described. In some implementations, user gesture data may be received in response to a user gesture being performed on a touch sensitive surface of the display device. In response to determining that the user gesture data is unrecognized, performing one or more default actions, including performing an update of the display device. The update may include performing a flash of the display device. The user gesture data may be associated with the one or more actions automatically or in response to the user providing input to associate the user gesture data with the one or more actions. The user gesture and the associated one or more actions may be stored such that the update of the display device may be performed when the user gesture is subsequently performed.
