Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and embodiment the present invention is described in further detail:
Principal character of the present invention, to utilize to possess the diaphragm of reflection ray character as the barrier film between light guide plate and the circuit board, and the through hole of a plurality of corresponding key positions is set at this barrier film, therefore, after ray cast entered light guide plate, part light got directly and penetrates by this through hole is logical, part light then can reflex to light guide plate by barrier film, the reflection of optical texture below light guide plate arrives button section by this through hole again, and then increases the brightness of button section, improving luminous efficiency.
Based on this, the key device of raising luminous efficiency provided by the invention includes and from bottom to top sequentially stacks mutually a light guide plate, a barrier film, a circuit board, an elastomer and a button section of putting; The upper surface of described light guide plate is laid with circuit and plural the first conductive junction point, and its lower surface has optical texture, and the side of light guide plate is provided with light source; Described barrier film is provided with a plurality of to through hole that should the first conductive junction point position; Described circuit board is provided with plural number to should through hole and the second conductive junction point of the first conductive junction point position; Described barrier film has the character of reflection ray in the face of the one side of this light guide plate, so that the light that penetrates from light guide plate is able to be reflected back light guide plate by this barrier film, reflect through this through hole by described optical texture again, improve thus the light amount by this through hole, allow the brightness of button section improve, reach the purpose that improves luminous efficiency.
The present invention is to adopt the material with good reflection nature of light to make for the technological means of described barrier film, and goes out in advance the through hole of corresponding aforementioned the first conductive junction point and the second conductive junction point in this barrier film punch forming.
The present invention is for aforesaid optical texture, can be chosen in light guide plate below one deck reflection diaphragm is set, also can be directly below light guide plate straight forming go out the thin bump of plural number or thin concave point, all can produce the effect of reflection ray.
Can compare by luminous press-key structure with prior art, key device of the present invention does not increase any extra assembly fully, and do not increase volume or the thickness of whole key device, but the replacement of the barrier film by possessing reflective character, just can reach the purpose that promotes key light emitting brightness and efficient, be the design of tool innovation, progressive in fact.
Consult shown in Figure 1, key device provided by the invention, its preferred embodiment includes from bottom to top a light guide plate 1, a barrier film 2, a circuit board 3, an elastomer 5 and a button section 6 that sequentially arranges; Wherein light guide plate 1 is to adopt the optical material with good leaded light character to make, based on the consideration of dwindling backlight module thickness, be directly to lay circuit and plural the first conductive junction point 12 at the upper surface of light guide plate 1, the lower surface of light guide plate 1 then arranges optical texture 11; This optical texture 11 can be the tiny circular bump of plural number or concave point, polygonal bump or concave point ... etc. so that in light guide plate 1 light of conduction by those optical textures reflections in, light can be done suitable refraction and homogenizing, softization.The position of each button section 6 that those first conductive junction points 12 are corresponding keyboard produces electric connection and the usefulness of transmission control signal when pressing keys section is provided.The side of light guide plate 1 then arranges at least one light source 4, and the ray cast direction of light source 4 is preferably vertical with the side of circuit board 3, and light source 4 can enter ray cast light guide plate 1 interior conduction, and by optical texture 11 light is reflected toward the top; At the embodiment of this creation, described light source 4 is to use LED (light-emitting diode).The circuit that described circuit board 3 is laid be with light guide plate 1 on circuit support the use, with the start of control keying signal, and the second conductive junction point 31 of those the first conductive junction point 12 positions of a plurality of correspondences is set below circuit board 3.
Described barrier film 2 is the assemblies that separate as with light guide plate 1 and circuit board 3, make under the state that is not subjected to External Force Acting, the first conductive junction point 12 and the second conductive junction point 31 do not contact with each other electric connection, otherwise then the first conductive junction point 12 and the second conductive junction point 31 are in contact with one another and are electrically connected and send a control signal that is pressed button; Therefore, barrier film 2 is provided with the through hole 21 of those first conductive junction points 12 of a plurality of correspondences and the second conductive junction point 31 positions, the passage that contacts with each other as the first conductive junction point 12 and the second conductive junction point 31.
In order to make the well past limit of uploading of light, described circuit board 3 is at embodiments of the invention, be to adopt to have the material (for example transparent plastic) that leaded light character is arranged and make, and described elastomer 5 be set, the described button of the top recombinant section 6 of elastomer 5 on circuit board 3; Button section 6 also adopt can printing opacity the material manufacturing, or literal or the symbol only be located in the button section can printing opacities.
Fig. 2 shows the enlarged drawing of the rear structure of key device primary clustering combination of the present invention, and when not being pressed in button section 6, the first conductive junction point 12 and the second conductive junction point 31 are subject to separating of barrier film 2 and are not in contact with one another; When pressing keys section 6, elastomer 4 is down pressed simultaneously, and then with circuit board 3 past pressing down and so that the second conductive junction point 31 contacts (referring to Fig. 3) with the first conductive junction point 12, thereby touching circuit produces a control signal; When decontroling button section 6, then by the elastic restoring force of elastomer 5 with button section 6 homings, then the first conductive part 12 separates with the second conductive part 31.When light source 4 is luminous, light namely throws and enters light guide plate 1 interior conduction, part light directly passes through the through hole 21 of barrier film 2 and the circuit board 3 of light-permeable by optical texture 11 reflections, passing button section 6 exhales again, another part light then is reflected back light guide plate 1 below barrier film 2,11 reflections of optical texture below light guide plate are passed button section 6 again and are exhaled by the through hole 21 of barrier film 2 and the circuit board 3 of light-permeable again, make button section 6 have luminous visual effect.
The above only is in order to explain the present invention's preferred embodiment; be not that attempt is done any pro forma restriction to the present invention according to this; so all have in lower relevant any modification or the change done of identical spirit, all must be included in the category that the invention is intended to protect.
