Abstract
An apparatus includes a first display, an indicium, and a second display. The second display can include a light-generating source deposited on a substrate. The second display illuminates the indicium and the second display has a thickness of less than 0.25 millimeters. The apparatus also includes one or more controllers communicatively coupled to the first display and the second display and configured to control states of the first display and the second display.
Claims20
An electronic device comprising:
- a display housing including a first side and a second side opposite the first side;
- a user display disposed at the first side of the display housing;
- an indicium portion disposed at the second side of the housing;
- a first set of light-generating sources disposed to provide illumination for the user display;
- a second set of light-generating sources disposed to provide illumination for the indicium portion;
- and
- a shared reflector sheet disposed between the first set of light-generating sources of the first side and the second set of light-generating sources of the second side of the display housing, such that:
- light emitted from the first set of light-generating sources is prevented from illuminating the indicium portion, and
- light emitted from the second set of light-generating sources is prevented from illuminating the user display,
- wherein all of the second set of light-generating sources are disposed on a substrate in a pattern corresponding to a perimeter of a shape of the indicium portion.

An electronic device comprising:
- a display housing including a first side and a second side opposite the first side;
- a user display disposed at the first side of the display housing;
- an indicium portion disposed at the second side of the housing;
- a first set of light-generating sources disposed to provide illumination for the user display;
- a second set of light-generating sources disposed to provide illumination for the indicium portion;
- a shared reflector sheet disposed between the first set of light-generating sources of the first side and the second set of light-generating sources of the second side of the display housing;
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- illuminating, with the first set of light-generating sources, the user display in response to the user display being in an active state, and
- upon receiving a predetermined activation signal, illuminating, second set of light-generating sources, the indicium portion independent of an activation of the first set of light-generating sources.
