A display apparatus switchable between a first mode and a second mode is provided. The display apparatus includes a transparent light emitting layer, a light modification layer and a first polarization layer. The transparent light emitting layer is configured to display image in the first mode and be disabled in the second mode. The light modification layer is disposed under the transparent light emitting layer. The first polarization layer between the transparent light emitting layer and the light modification layer is configured to polarize an incident light which transmits through the transparent light emitting layer. When the display apparatus is operated in the first mode, the light modification layer is configured to absorb the incident light, and when the display apparatus is operated in the second mode, the light modification layer is configured to reflect the incident light. Another display apparatus and a display method are also provided.

Display apparatus and display method

A system for handling multi-touch input on a computing device enables the device to handle multi-touch input where each touch input is provided to a separate application executing on the device. In response to a first touch input, a first application generates and registers a first connection point with a link component. Similarly, a second application generates and registers a second connection point in response to a second touch input. The link component then provides the second connection point to the first application and notifies the first application that it should complete a communication connection with the second application. The two applications then exchange information to determine a coordinator application that will execute first in response to the input. The information exchange may include a handshake process in which each application may request or provide information and notify the other application that it will or will not execute an operation. After the coordinator is selected, the selected application executes an operation.

Method and system for handling multiple touch input on a computing device

A handheld electronic device including a lower body, an upper body, a sliding mechanism and a pivot axle is provided. The lower body has a carrying surface and a recess on the carrying surface. The upper body is disposed on the carrying surface. The sliding mechanism is disposed between the upper body and the lower body for driving the upper body sliding relative to the lower body. The pivot axle is disposed between the sliding mechanism and the lower body. When the handheld electronic device is transformed from a retracting state to a spreading state, an end of the upper body enters the recess, and the carrying surface of the lower body and a top surface of the upper body form an included angle.
