    Abstract: Techniques or processes for providing markings on products are disclosed. In one embodiment, the products have housings and the markings are to be provided on sub-surfaces of the housings. For example, a housing for a particular product can include an outer housing surface and the markings can be provided on a sub-surface the outer housing surface yet still be visible from the outside of the housing. Since the markings are beneath the surface of the housing, the markings are durable.

    Abstract: Techniques and apparatus to provide improved visibility to user input devices, such as keys, are disclosed. In low light conditions, keys can be difficult to distinguish. For example, often keys have legends on them to visually distinguish them from one another, but in low light conditions it can be difficult for users to visually distinguish the different keys. The legends can be textual and/or graphic. Hence, according to one embodiment, light from a nearby display device can be used to provide illumination to the user input devices (e.g., keys). More particularly, in one embodiment, some light from the nearby display device can be directed towards and reflected from the user input devices (e.g., keys) to enhance visibility of the keys or the legends thereon.

    Abstract translation: 公开了提供对用户输入设备(诸如键)的可见性的技术和设备。 在低光条件下,键可能难以区分。 例如,通常按键有它们的图例,以便将它们视觉上彼此区分开来,但是在低光条件下,用户可能难以在视觉上区分不同的键。 传说可以是文字和/或图形。 因此,根据一个实施例,来自附近的显示设备的光可以用于向用户输入设备(例如,键)提供照明。 更具体地,在一个实施例中,来自附近的显示设备的一些光可以被引导到用户输入设备(例如,键)并且从用户输入设备(例如,键)反射,以增强其上的键或图例的可视性。
