A metal structure (1) has a display region being a second region and being
integrate with another region being a first region which is a display
region. The metal structure may constitute a monolithic structure of an
information display unit, for example, a front panel of an electronic
device. The display region is formed by providing a cluster of small
non-through-going cavities (5) in the metal structure, leaving a very
small thickness of material, the thickness being translucent (6). In
addition to being a display unit when arranging a light source behind the
translucent region (6), touch sensitive or non-touch sensitive input
devices, optionally connected to acoustical input and registration
devices, may also be provided. These input devices may advantageously be
arranged in, or adjacent, the cavities in the metal structure, whereby
when the front of the metal structure is viewed an indication of display
or input options is visible.
