Abstract: In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus is provided, comprising: a user input element body; a photochrome layer, the photochrome layer disposed on a surface of the user input element body; and an aperture through the photochrome layer, the aperture having a character shape.

Abstract: Described herein is an apparatus having a first closed configuration and a second open configuration. The apparatus has a user output area configured to be able to provide viewable user output content, and a user input area including a transparent region configured to be able to receive touch user input. The apparatus is configured such that, in the first closed configuration, the transparent region of the user input area is positioned to at least partially overlie and cover the user output area to provide a covered region of the user output area, the transparent region of the user input area allowing the content on the user output area in the covered region to be viewable through the user input area. The apparatus is also configured such that, in the second open configuration, the user input area is positioned to be moved away from the user output area to provide a revealed region of the user output area to allow the content of the user output area in the revealed region to be directly viewable.
