Electronic mobile device seamless key/display structure

An electronic mobile device, comprising:

• a base;
• a first switch and a second switch supported by the base;
• a display module supported by the base and disposed aside the first switch and the second switch;
• a lens disposed adjacent the display module and having an inner surface facing the base, the lens including a first deflectable portion cantilevered past an edge of the display;
• a first foot supported by the inner surface of the lens and normally disposed apart from the base;
• a first key disposed to a first side of the first foot and including a first contact region of the first deflectable portion of the lens, the first key being actuated by deflecting the first contact region to actuate the first switch;
• a second key disposed to a second side of the first foot and including a second contact region of the first deflectable portion of the lens, the second key being actuated by deflecting the second contact region to actuate the second switch;
• and
• wherein when the first key is actuated, the first foot contacts the base to inhibit the second contact region from actuating the second switch, and when the second key is actuated, the first foot contacts the base to inhibit the first contact region from actuating the first switch.

An electronic mobile device, comprising:

• a base;
• a first switch and a second switch supported by the base;
• a display module supported by the base and disposed aside the first switch and the second switch;
• a lens overlying the display module and including:
• a first contact region adjacent the first switch;
• a second contact region adjacent the second switch;
• a first foot integrally supported between the first contact region and the second contact region and extending toward the base;
• a first key defined by the first switch and the first contact region such that the first key is actuated by deflecting the first contact region to actuate the first switch;
• a second key defined by the second switch and the second contact region such that the second key is actuated by deflecting the second contact region to actuate the second switch;
• and
• wherein when the first contact region deflects to actuate the first switch, the first foot contacts the base to inhibit the second contact region from actuating the second switch, and when the second contact region deflects to actuate the second switch, the first foot contacts the base to inhibit the first contact region from actuating the first switch.
