A touchscreen display device may include a capacitive sensor disposed adjacent to a top surface of the display device, and a resistive sensor disposed below the capacitive sensor. A backlight may selectively illuminate a pattern on an inner side of the top surface of the display device, so that the pattern is visible from outside the display device when the backlight is activated, and is not visible when the back light is not activated.
