Abstract
A portable computer is provided having a first display panel in a display unit, a second display panel in a base unit, and a keyboard structure requiring less surface area than conventional keyboards. Keyboard keys are at least partially transparent, revealing an underlying display panel. The display panel can display a plurality of icons that may be alternatively associated with each key, such that keyboard input can be achieved using a reduced quantity of keys.
