Abstract

Techniques for configuration of primary and secondary displays are described. In one or more implementations, an apparatus such as a mobile device includes multiple interconnected display devices that can be configured in different ways, such as output primary, input primary, sensor primary, and so forth. At least one implementation enables different zones of a single display surface to be configured as primary and secondary for different purposes, such as input and/or output.
