## Anatomy

It redefines the ink tokens inside itself, so a label, a plot or a table dropped in prints in light without any extra class. It stays dark in every finish, the way a display does.

## Variants

- Holding a plot
- Holding status lines

## States

- Plot
- Readout
- Status lines

## Usage notes

The glass does not change with the finish: it is a display, not a surface.

## Accessibility

- Text on the glass is 12:1 or better; the dimmest tint (ink-3) is for scales only.

- [LCD](https://tactileui.dev/parts/lcd): A value that changes, on grey-green liquid crystal, with a ghost of the unlit segments behind it: clocks, battery, counters.
- [Readout](https://tactileui.dev/parts/readout): A printed label over a value: key figures, with the unit small and the change in words.
