    摘要: An assembly for a terminal device, the assembly comprises a frame; a panel operable to receive a haptic user input; a member pivotally connected to the frame to define two or more pivot axes and supporting the panel at locations distinct from the pivot axes, the member being arranged in such a way that the length of a part of the member connecting points on the two pivot axes varies in response to the haptic user input, and such that the panel is displaced relative to the frame as said length varies, and a force sensor operable to detect a haptic input applied to the panel. It also includes a transducer, for instance a piezo actuator, operable to provide a tactile feedback to the user through the panel.
