Abstract
The subject of the present invention is an electronic control panel (1) for a motor vehicle, characterized in that it comprises a touch-sensitive screen (3), a touch-sensitive control surface (5) contiguous with said touch-sensitive screen, and a common support (33) for the touch-sensitive screen (3) and for the touch-sensitive control surface (5), the touch-sensitive screen (3) and the touch-sensitive control surface (5) being arranged on the common support (33) at the same level where they meet so as to define a near-continuous control area.
Claims9
An electronic control panel for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a touch-sensitive display screen of a first capacitive structural construction;
- a touch-sensitive control surface of a second capacitive structural construction different from said first capacitive structural construction, contiguous with said touch-sensitive display screen;
- and
- a common support for the touch-sensitive display screen and for the touch-sensitive control surface,
- wherein the touch-sensitive display screen and the touch-sensitive control surface are disposed on top of the common support and joined at a same level to define a homogeneous, uniform, and virtually continuous control plane when said electronic control panel is in an off-state, and
- wherein the touch-sensitive display screen and the touch-sensitive control surface form an entirety of a top-most surface of the electronic control panel.
