A display control apparatus includes a switching unit configured to switch a display mode of a setting screen between a first display mode and a second display mode, the setting screen being arranged to display a plurality of setting items, including a predetermined setting item; and a control unit configured to, in the first display mode, display on the setting screen a first item related to the predetermined setting item and a plurality of items related to a plurality of setting items different from the predetermined setting item, and display a second item, on the setting screen in the case that the first item is selected, the second item representing candidate values which may be set, and in the second display mode, display on the setting screen a third item representing candidate values which may be set, and display a plurality of items related to the plurality of setting items.

An optical imaging lens assembly that may have six lens components. The first, third, fourth, and fifth lens components may have positive refractive power. The second and sixth lens components may have negative refractive power. The lens assembly may satisfy the relation |f/f.sub.5|+|f/f.sub.6|<1.4, wherein f is a focal length of the optical imaging lens assembly, f.sub.5 is a focal length of the fifth lens component, f.sub.6 is a focal length of the sixth lens component. The lens assembly may also satisfy the further relation 0.8<|f/f.sub.5|+|f/f.sub.6|. The first lens component may include a wafer lens having a lens element molded on one or both surfaces of a planar substrate or two wafer lenses having a lens element molded on one surface of each of two planar substrates. The wafer lens may include an electrically controlled electrochromic surface having variable light transmittance.

Embodiments of systems and methods for using electronic diffusers to implement message indicators are described. A segment of a diffuser attached to an electronic device is configured to indicate an informational message in response to signals that result in a change to an optical property. A set of information to be displayed using the segment is determined, and a signal is transmitted to the segment to display the information.
