Abstract
Touch button module, methods, and apparatuses are provided for displaying a button icon in the display technology field. The touch button module includes a sensing layer, a luminous layer, and an integrated circuit (IC) layer, which are wholly integrated. An electronic device including the touch button module may determine a function item corresponding to the touch button module, and then determine button icon information corresponding to the function item. The electronic device may transmit the button icon information to an IC layer of the touch button module. The IC layer may control illuminants in a luminous layer to emit light. Therefore, the display pattern of the touch button module may be dynamically changed according to different instructions from the IC layer.
