Electronic device including touch-sensitive display

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a base;

a touch-sensitive display connected to the base and movable relative thereto;

a switch actuator disposed between the touch-sensitive display and the base;

switches disposed between the touch-sensitive display and the base and moveable relative to the base from a first position in which only one of the switches is located for actuation by the switch actuator to a second position in which two of the switches are located for actuation by the switch actuator;

wherein the switch actuator comprises a tray disposed between the touch-sensitive display and at least one of the switches; and

wherein the switch actuator comprises at least one projection from the tray for contacting the switches.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the switch actuator comprises three projections for actuating the switches.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , comprising a sliding mechanism that comprises a mounting plate on which the switches are disposed, and the mounting plate is slideable between the first position and the second position.

4. The electronic device according to claim 3 , comprising a stop for inhibiting movement of the touch-sensitive display relative to the base.

5. The electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein the stop is aligned with a boss for abutting to inhibit movement of the touch-sensitive display relative to the base when the switches are in a third position.

6. The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein the third position is intermediate the first position and the second position.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the switches provides tactile feedback in response to a touch event on the touch-sensitive display.

8. An electronic device, comprising:

a movable touch-sensitive display;

a switch actuator disposed between the touch-sensitive display and a housing of the electronic device;

switches moveable relative to a base of the electronic device from a first position in which one of the switches is located for actuation by the switch actuator to a second position in which two of the switches are located for actuation by the switch actuator;

wherein movement of the touch-sensitive display depresses any switches located for actuation by the switch actuator;

comprising a sliding mechanism for moving the switches between the first position and the second position; and

wherein the sliding mechanism is controlled by a processor to move between the first and the second position.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein at least one of the switches provides tactile feedback in response to a touch event on the touch-sensitive display.

10. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein relative movement of the switches is automated.

11. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein relative movement of the switches is automated based on at least one of a device state and an application running on the device.

12. An electronic device, comprising:

a housing;

a display movable relative to the housing;

a switch actuator disposed between the display and the housing;

a plurality of switches moveable relative to a base of the electronic device from a first position to a second position to change a number of the plurality of switches that are located for actuation by the switch actuator;

wherein any of the plurality of switches located for actuation by the switch actuator are actuatable by movement of the display;

comprising a sliding mechanism for moving the switches between the first position and the second position; and

wherein the sliding mechanism is controlled by a processor to move between the first and the second position.

13. The electronic device according to claim 12 , wherein at least one of the switches provides tactile feedback in response to a touch event on the touch-sensitive display.
