An input device with a backlight function and a backlight color adjustment method are provided. The input device with the backlight function includes a casing, plural color light-emitting elements, a control module and a charge-coupled device. The control module provides electric power to at least two selected color light-emitting elements through a power supply circuit. By the control module, the chromaticity value of a mixed white light beam from the color light-emitting element is adjusted to be consistent with the chromaticity value of a white light beam, and the luminance value of the mixed white light beam from the color light-emitting element is adjusted to be consistent with the luminance value of the white light beam.

An electronic device, including a host, a main display, an auxiliary display, and a lifting mechanism, is provided. The main display is pivoted to the host. The auxiliary display is disposed on the host. The lifting mechanism is disposed between the auxiliary display and the host. The lifting mechanism is configured to lift the auxiliary display and maintain a lifting height of the auxiliary display.

An invisible, light-transmissive display system with a light resistant material is provided. Substantially invisible, tapered, light-transmissive holes are penetrated in a light transmissive pattern through at least a portion of the light resistant material using a laser beam having a focal width less than the smallest diameter of the tapered holes.

A computing device can include a housing including a peripheral housing defining an aperture, the peripheral housing having a constant cross-sectional area. The computing device can also include a display having a first major surface and a second major surface opposing the first major surface, the display disposed within the aperture defined by the peripheral housing and attached to the housing at one or more locations such that the first major surface and the second major surface of the display are substantially unobstructed by any other portion of the computing device.

Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can include a key height activation engine and a keyboard. The keyboard can include a plurality of keys and one or more of the plurality of keys can include a key height mechanism. The key height mechanism includes a shape memory material and when the key height mechanism is activated by the key height activation engine, the shape memory material raises the one or more of the plurality of keys that includes the key height mechanism from a first height to a second height.

Embodiments of an apparatus and system are described for a hybrid computing device. Some embodiments may comprise a computing device having an enclosure arranged to support a display on a front of the enclosure and a cover mechanically coupled to a side of the enclosure, the cover comprising a first portion having at least one integrated input device and a second portion having at least one flexible seam arranged to allow the second portion to adjustably pivot around the seam. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Wake-on-touch display screen devices and related methods are disclosed herein An example computing device includes a display screen, a first sensor to detect a presence of a user in an environment, a second sensor to detect a presence of an appendage of the user, and at least one processor to control a power state of the computing device based on first data generated by the first sensor and second data generated by the second sensor.

Computing devices and methods for producing vibrations in computing devices are disclosed. In one example, a computing device comprises a chassis that includes a trackpad comprising a printed circuit board. A haptic actuator assembly comprises at least one conductive coil formed on or affixed to the printed circuit board, and at least one magnet rigidly affixed to the chassis. The magnet is spaced from and not mechanically coupled to the at least one conductive coil. A memory stores instructions executable by a processor to receive a haptic event requests, determine that the trackpad is not in use, and at least on condition of receiving the haptic event request and determining that the trackpad is not in use, cause a driver signal to be sent to the conductive coil(s) to cause the at least one magnet to produce user-perceptible vibrations in the chassis beyond the trackpad.

A portable keyboard structure includes a plastic substrate, multiple metal support plates, a plastic bottom cover and multiple buffer members. The plastic substrate has a mounting surface, the metal support plates are mounted on corners of the mounting surface, the plastic bottom cover is disposed corresponding to the mounting surface and in conjunction with the plastic substrate clamps and secures the metal support plates, and the buffer members are respectively configured corresponding to the metal support plates. Each buffer member includes a fixing portion and a protection portion, the fixing portion are respectively disposed at the corresponding metal support plates, and the protection portions respectively envelop corners of the plastic substrate. Thus, the weight of the keyboard structure is significantly reduced, the production cost is lowered, and certain structural strength and fall-resistance are maintained at the same time.

Particular examples described herein provide for an electronic device, such as a notebook computer or laptop, which includes a circuit board coupled to a plurality of electronic components (which includes any type of hardware elements, circuitry etc.). The electronic device may also include a connector assembly that is positioned within at least a portion of a recess of the electronic device, where the connector assembly includes: a first assembly that is to receive a connector; and a second assembly that is to receive an identification module that is to provide an association between a user and the electronic device.
