Abstract
A rocker switch for a cell phone having a display mounted thereon. A five-position rocker switch, as is commonly used in cell phones, has a display device mounted directly thereon. The display indicates the function of the five switches, which may vary with time. Accordingly, different menus or levels of screens are possible. Contacts with the corner switches are disabled if movement is within 20 degrees of vertical to avoid erroneous inputs.
