Patent ID: 8280446

Claim:
A mobile terminal, comprising: a housing; a first display module for displaying first information; a second display module located adjacent to the first display module for displaying second information; a cover layer comprising an optically opaque region shaped to define a first display region that generally corresponds with the first display module, and a second display region that generally corresponds with the second display module; a single window comprising optically transmissive material, the single window being positioned over the cover layer, wherein the single window is structured to permit viewing of the first information displayed by the first display module at a location that generally corresponds with the first display region of the cover layer, and wherein the single window is further structured to permit viewing of the second information displayed by the second display module at a location that generally corresponds with the second display region of the cover layer, wherein the single window is formed to extend over visible portions of the first display module and the second display module; a touch sensing layer for sensing a touch applied to the window and generating a signal according to the sensed touch, the touch sensing layer located between the window and both of the first display module and the second display module, wherein the first display module, the second display module, the cover layer, the single window, and the touch sensing layer are located in respective planes which are parallel; and a controller located in the housing and structured to operate according to the generated signal.
