Abstract
An interactive panel comprises an optical waveguide within which totally internally reflected (TIR) illumination propagates, a display device beneath the optical waveguide and a partially transparent layer beneath the display device. The partially transparent layer reflects backlight illumination towards the display device and at least allows TIR illumination escaping from the optical waveguide and passing through the optical waveguide and the display panel, as a result of one or more contacts made on the optical waveguide, to pass therethrough.
