Abstract
The electronic device comprises a data processing facility, a flexible panel, and a facility for arranging the panel at least into an extended shape and into a compact shape. The flexible panel includes a display structure responsive to output signals from the data processing facility, a touch sensitive structure arranged for providing input signals to the data processing facility indicative for a change of capacitance at a position where a pointing device approaches the panel.
Claims28
An electronic device comprising:
- a data processing facility;
- and
- a flexible panel, and a facility for arranging the flexible panel at least into an extended shape and into a compact shape, the flexible panel including:
- a display structure responsive to output signals from the data processing facility, and
- a touch sensitive structure arranged for providing input signals to the data processing facility indicative of a change of capacitance at a position where a pointing device approaches the panel.
A method for manufacturing a flexible panel comprising the steps of:
- providing a first substrate,
- applying a display layer on said first substrate,
- providing a second substrate,
- applying on said second substrate a pattern of electrically conductive material, and
- adhering the first substrate to the second substrate with the display layer facing the pattern of electrically conductive material.
