Abstract
An EL display is provided with EL segments which are individually illuminable and which include one or more complete function key images and/or fragments of complete function key images. One or more of the EL segments may thus be illuminated to present multiple, different user interfaces each having one or more complete function key images. A complete function key image presented as part of a user interface may be a complete key image that was included as part of an illuminated EL segment or may be formed by a combination of key image fragments included as part of multiple illuminated EL segments.
