Abstract
A touch panel with both static elements is created by layering a glass cover over a label, which is then layered over a touch screen. The high quality label over the touch screen sets forth areas that could be used as buttons, switches, or potentiometers. The label could also have a die cut window that reveals a dynamic screen underneath, allowing for a touch screen with both static buttons that are always present and a dynamic interface that could react to user input.
