Abstract
A mobile phone operable to operate a first display using a second touch panel display that partially covers the first display is disclosed. The first display and the second touch panel display are slidably coupled such that the second touch panel display may cover the first display. When low lighting is desired, the second touch panel display may be unlighted, and the first display partially covered by the second touch panel display. A visible portion of the first display may then be operated by touching the unlit second touch panel display.
