Abstract
A display screen is carried on a base by an elastically deformable support such that a touch shifts the screen relative to the base. A pair of juxtaposed electrodes form a capacitor, with one of the electrodes fixed to the screen and the other of the electrodes fixed to or formed by the base. A capacitance of the capacitor changes when the screen electrode moves relative to the base electrode. A circuit connected to the electrodes initiates an action on change of the capacitance.
