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 load control device for controlling the amount of power delivered to an electrical load from an AC power source provides improved sensory feedback to a user of the load control device. The load control device comprises a touch screen actuator having a touch sensitive front surface responsive to a plurality of point actuations, each characterized by a position and a force. The touch screen actuator has an output operatively coupled to a controller for providing a control signal representative of the position of the point actuation. The load control device further comprises a visual display and an audible sound generator, both responsive to the controller. The controller is operable to cause the visual display to illuminate and the audible sound generator to generate an audible sound in response to the control signal of the touch screen actuator.

Abstract: There is disclosed an improved switch panel (SP), e.g. for use in automotive vehicles or electronic/electrical apparatus such as white goods or keypads. Modern switch panels, particularly in cars/automobiles, are provided with an increasing number of electronic controls and equipment. A problem has therefore arisen in that a driver/passenger/user can easily become confused when presented with an array of control switches. The invention therefore provides a switch panel (SP) having a panel member (P) and at least one switch member (S), wherein the panel member (P) has a first appearance when front lit, and at least one second appearance when at least a portion thereof is back lit. The back lighting is provided by illumination means controlled by the at least one switch member (S). The at least one switch member (S) is provided on a reverse (rear) side (105) of the panel member (P) and is controlled by a user from an obverse (front) side (100) of the panel member (P).
