PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH A DISPLAY AND A FEEDBACK MODULE

1 . portable electronic device, comprising:

a body portion;

a display provided in the body portion, the display having a display core; and

a feedback module coupled to the display core and the body portion, the feedback module adapted to secure the display to the body portion and provide feedback by moving the display relative to the body portion.

2 . The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the feedback module includes a diaphragm plate coupled to the display core.

3 . The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the display is a touch screen display, and the feedback module is adapted to provide tactile feedback in response to interaction with the touch screen display.

4 . The portable electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the feedback module simulates pressing a physical button by moving the display in a direction of a force applied to the touch screen display.

5 . The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the feedback module is adapted to move the display in a direction normal to a surface of the display.

6 . The portable electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising at least one body clip for securing the feedback module to the body portion.

7 . The portable electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising at least one biasing member for biasing the feedback module into a particular position when the feedback module is inactive.

8 . A portable electronic device, comprising:

a body portion;

a display provided in the body portion; and

a feedback module coupled to the display and the body portion, the feedback module adapted to secure the display to the body portion and provide feedback by moving the display relative to the body portion.

9 . The portable electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the display is a touch screen display, and the feedback module provides tactile feedback in response to interaction with the touch screen display.

10 . The portable electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the feedback module is adapted to move the display to simulate the effect of pressing a physical button using the touch screen display.

11 . The portable electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the feedback module is adapted to move the display in a direction normal to a surface of the display.

12 . The portable electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the feedback module includes at least one clip for securing the display to the feedback module.

13 . The portable electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the display includes a rear bezel coupled to the feedback module.

14 . The portable electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the feedback module includes a diaphragm plate coupled to the rear bezel.

15 . The portable electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the display includes a display core, and the feedback module is coupled to the display core.

16 . The portable electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the feedback module includes a diaphragm plate coupled to the display core.

17 . The portable electronic device of claim 8 , further comprising at least one body clip for securing the feedback module to the body portion.

18 . The portable electronic device of claim 8 , further comprising at least one biasing member for biasing the feedback module into a particular position when the feedback module is inactive.

19 . A portable electronic device, comprising:

a body portion;

a touch screen display provided in the body portion; and

a feedback module rigidly coupled to the touch screen display and movably coupled to the body portion, the feedback module securing the display to the body portion and having a piezoelectric module adapted to provide tactile feedback by moving the touch screen display relative to the body portion in response to interaction with the touch screen display.

20 . The portable electronic device of claim 19 , further comprising at least one body clip for movably securing the feedback module to the body portion, and at least one biasing member for biasing the feedback module into a particular position when the piezoelectric module is inactive.
