Abstract
An electronic device (100) includes a high-resolution display (101) and a charged pigment display (103). The charged pigment display (103), which in one embodiment is an electrophoretic display, defines a user interaction region (106) and is configured, in conjunction with a controller (107), to present user actuation targets and information in the user interaction region. The information and user actuation targets may correspond to an operational mode of the device. The electronic device (100) may operate in control states, information states, and hybrid information/control states. Hyperlinks, brand information, and other data may be presented in the user interaction region (106).
