1. A remote control exploiting a multiply tasked touchpad, the remote control comprising:
- a planar transparent substrate having an upper surface and a lower surface in opposed relation;
a transparent organic light emitting diode (TOLED) disposed on the planar transparent substrate lower surface;
a translucent touchpad overlaying the TOLED affixed to the upper surface; and
a character projecting base-layer situated at the lower surface, such that when activated, the character projecting base projects a character through the transparent organic light emitting diode onto the translucent touchpad.

Abstract
A remote control exploits a multiply tasked touchpad. The remote control includes a planar transparent substrate having an upper surface and a lower surface in opposed relation. A transparent organic light emitting diode (TOLED) is formed on the transparent substrate lower surface. A translucent touchpad overlays the TOLED affixed to the upper surface. A character projecting base-layer is affixed to the lower surface, such that when activated, the character projecting base projects a character through the transparent light emitting diode onto the translucent touchpad.

5. A remote control exploiting a multiply tasked touchpad, the remote control comprising:
-
a planar transparent substrate having an upper surface and a lower surface in opposed relation; a transparent organic light emitting diode (TOLED) disposed on the planar transparent substrate lower surface; a translucent touchpad overlaying the TOLED affixed to the upper surface; a character projecting base-layer situated at the lower surface such that when activated, the character projecting base projects at least one of a first surface character and a second surface character through the transparent organic light emitting diode onto the translucent touchpad, and comprising; a window having a window top surface and a window bottom surface, wherein the window includes at least one prism, the at least one prism having a first prism surface at the window top surface, and a second prism surface and a third prism surface at the window bottom surface; a first surface mask affixed to the second prism surface to form a first surface character; a second surface mask affixed to the third prism surface to form a second surface character; a first light emitting diode in opposed relation to the window and positioned to emit light onto the first surface mask to project the first surface character through the window; and a second surface light emitting diode positioned to emit light onto the second surface mask to project the second surface character through the window. - View Dependent Claims (6)
