[embodiment]
See also Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of keyboard 1 according to an embodiment of the invention.As shown in Figure 1, keyboard 1 comprises base plate 10 and a plurality of button module 12.Button module 12 is arranged on the base plate 10, pushes for the user, and then carries out the function of user institute desire input.
See also Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is that a button module 12 among Fig. 1 is along the profile of X-X line.As shown in Figure 2, button module 12 comprises keycap 14, liftable supporter 16, circuit board 18 and elastic component 20.Keycap 14 comprises keycap main body 140, a plurality of color lump 142, patterned layer 144 and protective layer 146.Liftable supporter 16 and elastic component 20 all are arranged between keycap main body 140 and the base plate 10, and circuit board 18 is arranged on the base plate 10.In practical application, have the switch 180 corresponding on the circuit board 18, for example thin film switch (membrane switch) or other triggering property switch with button module 12.Elastic component 20 can be rubber washer (rubber dome), but not as limit.Elastic force required when elastic component 20 promptly moves up and down as keycap 14 relative base plates 10 is originated.When keycap 14 is pressed, the switch 180 on the elastic component 20 meeting circuits for triggering plates 18, and then carry out the function that user institute desire is imported.
As shown in Figure 2, keycap main body 140 has first chute 1400 and first draw-in groove 1402, and base plate 10 has second chute 100 and second draw-in groove 102, and liftable supporter 16 comprises first strutting piece 160 and second strutting piece 162.First strutting piece 160 has first sliding part 1600 and first articulated section 1602.Second strutting piece 162 has second sliding part 1620 and second articulated section 1622.First strutting piece 160 and second strutting piece 162 articulate.First sliding part 1600 is mounted slidably in first chute 1400 of correspondence, and first articulated section 1602 is articulated in the second corresponding draw-in groove 102 rotationally.Second sliding part 1620 is mounted slidably in second chute 100 of correspondence, and second articulated section 1622 is articulated in the first corresponding draw-in groove 1402 rotationally.By this, when keycap 14 was pressed, keycap 14 promptly can be followed the direction vertical moving of liftable supporter 16 towards base plate 10.
When above-mentioned keyboard 1 was illuminated keyboard, keycap main body 140 and color lump 142 were all the light-permeable material, and patterned layer 144 can be light tight material, and protective layer 146 is a clear, colorless.By this, the light that the module (not shown) backlight of keyboard 1 is sent can project keycap 14 via keycap main body 140 and the color lump 142 that is revealed in the pierced pattern 1440, and then presents illumination effect.In this embodiment, patterned layer 144 can cover fully keycap main body 140 around.The light that the module (not shown) backlight of keyboard 1 is sent only can project keycap 14 via the color lump 142 that is revealed in the pierced pattern 1440.
In practical application, can be with the colour planning of each color lump 142 for different each other.For example, the color of two color lumps 142 among Fig. 2 can be designed to red and green respectively.If keycap main body 140 be clear, colorless, then promptly can present different color light, and then increase the visual effect in the use via being revealed in the light that color lump 142 in the pierced pattern 1440 projects keycap 14.In addition, also can make the color of the color of keycap main body 140 and/or light color that module backlight sends and color lump 142 different, to reach different mixed light effects.
See also Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, Fig. 3 is the flow chart of the manufacture method of the keycap 14 among Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is the processing procedure schematic diagram of collocation Fig. 3.At first, execution in step S10 provides keycap main body 140, shown in Fig. 4 (A).Then, execution in step S12 carries out the ink-jet processing procedure to keycap main body 140, to form a plurality of color lumps 142 on keycap main body 140, shown in Fig. 4 (B).Then, execution in step S14 is to keycap main body 140 processing procedure that sprays paint, to form patterned layer 144 on color lump 142 and keycap main body 140, shown in Fig. 4 (C).As mentioned above, can make patterned layer 144 cover fully keycap main body 140 around.Then, execution in step S16 carries out laser carved processing procedure to patterned layer 144, with a plurality of pierced patterns 1440 of formation on patterned layer 144, and the part of each color lump 142 is revealed in one of them of pierced pattern 1440 respectively, shown in Fig. 4 (D).At last, execution in step S18 forms protective layer 146, shown in Fig. 4 (E) on patterned layer 144.
In practical application, a plurality of keycap main bodys 140 that are arranged on the base plate 10 can be provided, and each keycap main body 140 is carried out the processing procedure of above-mentioned step S12 to step S18 respectively.By this, can finish the manufacturing of keyboard 1 of the present invention.
In sum, the present invention utilizes the ink-jet processing procedure to form a plurality of color lumps simultaneously on keycap.No matter need to form how many color lumps on keycap, the present invention only needs one ink-jet processing procedure to finish.Therefore, the present invention can effectively promote the production efficiency of keyboard and keycap and reduce production costs.In addition, when keycap of the present invention is applied to illuminated keyboard, can make the color of a plurality of color lumps on the same keycap different, to increase the visual effect on using.
Though the present invention with the foregoing description explanation as above, is not in order to limit the present invention.Protection scope of the present invention should be as the criterion with claim.
