  • Patent number: 8832574
    Abstract: An apparatus including a first display configured to be able to display user content and to have an active display state in which said user content can be stably displayed via active powering of the display, and a second display configured to be able to display user content and to have a passive display state in which said user content can be stably displayed without active powering of the display. The apparatus is configured such that the first display is positioned to at least partially overlie and cover the second display to provide a covered region of the second display. The apparatus is also configured such that the content on the second display in the covered region can be viewed through the first display.

  • Publication number: 20050206808
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of preventing a light leakage of environmental light to a first display of an electronic device through a second display of the electronic device. The first display and the second display are arranged on opposite sides of the electronic device, and a single backlight guide is used for providing a backlight to the first display and to the second display. The method comprises determining whether a light leakage protection mode is to be entered. In case it is determined that a light leakage protection mode is to be entered, the second display is caused to present an essentially black screen. The invention relates equally to a corresponding device and to a corresponding software program product.
