    Abstract: An improved membrane switch (10) is the subject matter of this patent. The switch (10) includes a pair of transparent, laminar contacts (16, 18) sandwiching a spacer (30) therebetween. The spacer (30) has a window (36) formed therein so that the contacts (16, 18) can be engaged at the location of the window (36) by the application of pressure to one of the contacts (16, 18). Engagement of the contacts (16, 18) closes a circuit to effect a desired function.

    Abstract: A pressure-responsive touchpad is provided with a touch-sensitive area, wherein the position of an actuator exerting a compressive force on the touch-sensitive area can be detected. The touchpad comprises a first sheet member and a second sheet member arranged at a certain distance from each other by a spacer, the spacer delimiting the touch-sensitive area, a first resistive electrode arranged in the touch-sensitive area on the first sheet member and a second resistive electrode arranged in the touch-sensitive area on the second sheet member in facing relationship with the first resistive electrode, in such a way that, in response to the compressive force acting on the touch-sensitive area, the first and second sheet members are pressed together whereby a contact area is formed and an electrical contact is established in the contact area between the at least first and second resistive electrodes. The touchpad comprises at least one light source and/or reflective element arranged underneath the first and second sheet members with respect to the direction of the compressive force. The first and second resistive electrodes are substantially intransparent for light coming from the at least one light source and/or reflective element, and the first and second electrodes, respectively, have at least one opening associated with the at least one light source and/or reflective element for allowing light to pass from the at least one light source and/or reflective element through the touch-sensitive area.

    Abstract: A touch screen assembly includes a first outer layer (102) and a second outer layer (110) separated by a separator layer (118). The first and second outer layers are transparent, and the separator layer has openings (120) at button locations where buttons will be defined. On each of the outer layers is a layer of transparent conductor (104, 112). On the first outer layer the transparent conductor is in the form of a contiguous trace or path. The touch screen assembly is placed on a display element (203) and images displayed on the display element can be seen through the touch screen assembly. Images such as characters are displayed at button locations, and when a user presses on one of the images the conductive layers on the first and second outer layers of the touch screen assembly come into contact.
