A multi-layer display system may include a plurality of display panels/screens arranged in an overlapping manner, a backlight configured to provide light to the plurality of display screens, and a processing system. The processing system may be configured to: display content (e.g., button or text) on a first display screen of the plurality of display screens, detect an input (e.g., touch) proximate the content, and responsive to the input move the content so that it is displayed at least on a different display screen/panel such as a further rearward screen/panel and/or a further forward screen/panel. This may, for instance, simulate the pressing of a button or the like in the case of moving content so that is becomes displayed on a further rearward screen/panel.
