Embodiment
Reach technological means and the effect that predetermined goal of the invention is taked for further setting forth the present invention, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and preferred embodiment, to button and its embodiment of keyboard, structure, feature and the effect thereof that foundation the present invention proposes, describe in detail as after.
Below will consult correlative type, button and keyboard according to preferred embodiment of the present invention are described, wherein components identical will be illustrated with identical reference marks.
See also shown in Figure 2ly, the button 2 of preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a light transmission body 21, a light shield layer 22, and one first dye coating 23, and is of a specified duration for the longer service life that makes button 2, more can comprise a protective layer 24 in the present embodiment.
In the present embodiment, light transmission body 21 has a surface 211, and light transmission body 21 is the bodies (for example the material of body promptly has color) that can be transparent bodies, translucent body or self have color.In addition, the dyestuff that can also mix in light transmission body 21 makes it have color.
Light shield layer 22 is to be formed on the surface 211, and has one first transparent area 221 and one second transparent area 222, and wherein, first transparent area 221 and second transparent area 222 are can utilize laser carved or etching technique and forming.In addition, first transparent area 221 and second transparent area 222 are can form for example to be the font or the transparent area of pattern.In the present embodiment, light shield layer 22 is to can be black ink or utilize other materials with shaded effect to form.
See also shown in Figure 2ly, first dye coating 23 is for example to utilize that screen printing technology is formed on the light shield layer 22, and covers first transparent area 221.In addition, also can be as shown in Figure 6, first dye coating 23 also is formed directly on the surface 211 of the light transmission body 21 in first transparent area 221.First dye coating 23 is to can be any dyestuff with light transmission, in the present embodiment, for example is the light transmission dyestuff that can be orange.
Please consult shown in Figure 3ly again, in the present embodiment, in addition can form one the 3rd dye coating 25 on light shield layer 22, this 3rd dye coating 25 is to be covered in second transparent area 222.Certainly, also can be as shown in Figure 6, the 3rd dye coating 25 also is formed directly in second transparent area 222.In the present embodiment, the 3rd dye coating 25 is to can be green light transmission dyestuff.
See also Fig. 2 and shown in Figure 3 again, protective layer 24 is to be formed on first dye coating 23 and the part light shield layer 22, so that first dye coating 23 and light shield layer 22 are more not easy to wear.In addition, when being formed with the 3rd dye coating 25 as if button 2, then protective layer 24 is to be formed on first dye coating 23 and the 3rd dye coating 25.In the present embodiment, also can be formed on first dye coating 23, the 3rd dye coating 25 and the part light shield layer 22.And the material of protective layer 24 is to can be the UV colored varnish, to reach the effect of protection.
From the above, the button 2 of present embodiment provides after the light via a light source behind (for example being white light), can show multiple color.As shown in Figure 2, when light source 30 was arranged at a side near protective layer 24, user's eyes 40 can be by the light near unilateral observation to two kind of the different colours of light transmission body 21.Certainly also can be as shown in Figure 8, light source 30 also can be arranged at the side near light transmission body 21, and user's eyes 40 can be by the light near unilateral observation to two kind of the different colours of protective layer 24.In other words, the surface 211 of light transmission body 21 is to can be the positive of light transmission body 21 or be the back side of light transmission body 21.
In the present embodiment, the light of the viewed two kinds of different colours of user, one for passing the orange light that first dye coating 23 and first transparent area 221 are manifested, and another directly passes the white light that second transparent area 222 is manifested for light source 30.And for example shown in Figure 3, the user can be observed the light of two kinds of different colours, and one for passing the orange light that first dye coating 23 and first transparent area 221 are manifested, and another is the green light of passing the 3rd dye coating 25 and second transparent area 222.
In addition, please consult again shown in Figure 4, in the present embodiment, also can between the surface 211 of button 2 and light shield layer 22, form one second dye coating 26, in this, second dye coating 26 can have a vacancy section 261, and the position of vacancy section 261 is corresponding with first transparent area 221.Again can be as shown in Figure 5, the area of vacancy section 261 is the areas that are smaller than first transparent area 221, its effect will be again in the back narration.
Moreover as shown in Figure 4, when second dye coating 26 was light transmission dyestuff for blueness, button 2 recycling these second dye coatings 25 and form other change in color allowed the user observe the light of two kinds of different colours.
In addition, as shown in Figure 5, because of the area of vacancy section 261 can be not more than first transparent area 221, so the viewed color of user will have more variation again.
Moreover, see also shown in Figure 7, Fig. 7 is the top view for the button 2 of Fig. 5, wherein, " pattern 1 " is the part with first transparent area 221 and vacancy section 261, because the area of vacancy section 261 is the areas less than first transparent area 221, therefore the viewed color of user is to see through the tangerine light that first dye coating 23 presented (part that indicates as Fig. 7 orbicular spot) by light source, and sees through the mixed light that partly first dye coating 23 and second dye coating 26 presented (as the part of the oblique line sign of " pattern 1 " among Fig. 7).In addition, " pattern a " is the part with first transparent area 221, and the user sees through the 3rd dye coating 25 of green and the color that the second blue dye coating 26 is formed at " pattern a " viewed color by light source.If utilize the dyestuff that is doped in the button 2 again, can build more multicoloured effect.
See also shown in Figure 9ly, the keyboard 5 of preferred embodiment of the present invention is to be example with the cell phone keyboard, includes a keypad support body 51, a plurality of button 2 and a touch control layer 53.
Keypad support body 51 is to have one first 511 to reach one second 512 relative with first 511, and keypad support body 51 has plurality of openings 513.
A plurality of buttons 2 are that row is located in first 511 the perforate 513 of keypad support body 51, and 2 aforesaid structures of button are not so repeat them here.
Touch control layer 53, it is to be arranged at second 512 of keypad support body 51, and touch control layer 53 is to be connected with button 2 by perforate 513, and part touch control layer 53 is to contact with keypad support body 51.In addition, touch control layer 53 is in order to be connected with other circuit element (not shown), and when the user touches button 2, the message instruction will be conveyed to circuit element through touch control layer 53.
The above, it only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, be not that the present invention is done any pro forma restriction, though the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment, yet be not in order to limit the present invention, any those skilled in the art, in not breaking away from the technical solution of the present invention scope, when the structure that can utilize above-mentioned announcement and technology contents are made a little change or be modified to the equivalent embodiment of equivalent variations, but every content that does not break away from technical solution of the present invention, according to technical spirit of the present invention to any simple modification that above embodiment did, equivalent variations and modification all still belong in the scope of technical solution of the present invention.
