A curved haptic actuator according to an embodiment may comprise: a housing having a receiving space and having a shape where the receiving space and an outer appearance thereof are bent outward; a vibration unit disposed in the receiving space, being movable along the longitudinal direction of the housing, and having a shape bent upward; elastic bodies connected to an inner wall of the housing and both sides of the vibration unit; and a magnetic field generation unit which is installed on the inner wall of the housing and generates a magnetic field and applies the magnetic field to the vibration unit.

Embodiments are directed to an electronic device having an illuminated body that defines a virtual or dynamic trackpad. The electronic device includes a translucent layer defining a keyboard region and a dynamic input region along an external surface. A keyboard may be. positioned within the keyboard region and including a key surface and a switch element (e.g., to detect a keypress). A light control layer positioned below the translucent layer and within the dynamic input region may have a group of illuminable features. The electronic device may also include a group of light-emitting elements positioned below the optical diffuser. One or more of the light control layer or the group of light-emitting elements may be configured to illuminate the dynamic input region to display a visible boundary of an active input area. At least one of a size or a position of the visible boundary may be dynamically variable.

A wearable device includes a dial plate, a watch body and an angle detection member. The dial plate is provided with an accommodating groove. The watch body is at least partially disposed in the accommodating groove and is rotatably connected to the dial plate, and the watch body is provided with a functional component. The angle detection member includes an annular resistor and a conductive connector electrically connected to the annular resistor. One of the annular resistor and the conductive connector is disposed at the dial plate, and the other is disposed at the watch body. The annular resistor is in sliding connection with the conductive connector.

A watch case including a thumbwheel for controlling a watch function, configured to be manipulated by a user, movable inside a housing and configured to allow a limited translational motion of one portion of the thumbwheel in a radial direction of the case, against an elastic return configured to move the portion away from an interior of the case. The housing includes a control detector detecting presence of the portion close to the center of the case when pressure is applied by a user, and configured to activate or deactivate a sensor included in the case in proximity to the housing, configured, when a rotational movement is imparted to the thumbwheel by the user, to detect passage of a transmitter included in the thumbwheel.
