Abstract: Implementations of the subject matter described herein provide a keyboard and an electronic device. The keyboard comprises a touch-sensitive region configured to send an indication of a position of a touch to the electronic device. The electronic device may display a menu including a plurality of configurable menu items. A shape of the menu matches a shape of the touch-sensitive region, and the menu item corresponding to the touch position may be highlighted, such that the user may acknowledge the touch position without looking at the keyboard. In this case, input efficiency may be improved in case of selecting menu items, since the user does not need to divert its sight from the display to the keyboard or the pointing device.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a two-dimensional material detector with an asymmetrically integrated optical microstrip antenna, structurally including a metal reflecting surface, a dielectric spacer layer, a two-dimensional active material layer, a top source electrode, and a drain electrode integrated with a metal strip array. Self-driven photoresponse of a metal/two-dimensional material/metal structure is induced by a Schottky junction formed due to contact between the two-dimensional material and the metal. The asymmetrically integrated optical microstrip antennas break the symmetry between the two contact/two-dimensional material junctions. Light absorption in the contact/two-dimensional material junction integrated with optical patch antennas is significantly enhanced by efficient light in-coupling and intensified light localization; meanwhile, the extended boundary of the contact/two-dimensional material junction enlarges the photocurrent collection area.
