Abstract
An electronic device may have a multi-touch display device and a texturizing polymer layer. The texturizing polymer layer can elevate a surface portion of the texturizing polymer layer to a level to texturize information displayed on the multi-touch display device. A gesture may be detected for the elevated surface portion.
Claims8
An electronic device comprising:
- a multi-touch display device, wherein a texturizing polymer layer is arranged above the multi-touch display device and the multi-touch display device is substantially rigid;
- a controller further configured to control the texturizing polymer layer to elevate a surface portion to a level to texturize a key on a keyboard displayed on the multi-touch display device;
- and
- a sensor configured to detect a gesture on the elevated surface portion, wherein the gesture applies pressure or force to a part of the elevated surface portion and the gesture includes a touch input of the elevated surface portion.

A method performed by an electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a multi-touch display device of the electronic device, an input, wherein a texturizing polymer layer is arranged above the multi-touch display device and the multi-touch display device is substantially rigid;
- controlling, by a controller, the texturizing polymer layer to elevate a surface portion to a level to texturize a key on a keyboard displayed on the multi-touch display device;
- and
- detecting a gesture on the elevated surface portion, wherein the gesture applies pressure or force to a part of the elevated surface portion and the gesture includes a touch input of the elevated surface portion.
