The light efficiency equipment of the embodiment of the present invention is for a device with operating surface, wherein, described operation mask Having a light-reflecting property, this light efficiency equipment includes: at least one is for light unit.This at least one for light unit In forming a photosphere above described operating surface, described photosphere and described operating surface do not have intersection point, described At least some of light of photosphere be entered described photosphere operating body reflection after near described operating body shape Become a visible optical effect.
Wherein, described operating surface is a solid object surface of any device or arbitrary objects.Such as, rouse Drum surface, the ground of room inner bottom plating, some surface of housing of electronic equipment etc.;Further institute Stating operating surface can also be for being supplied to the face being operable to of user, such as, on electronic equipment on electronic equipment The surface of keyboard or electronic equipment on the surface of touchpad or do not having keyboard and touchpad Panel of touch screen on electronic equipment etc..
Wherein, the visible optical effect being formed about at described operating body can be the light of operated member reflection Line is in the optical effect that the operating surface below operating body reflects to form;Operating surface is equipped with even tabula rasa Time, described operating body be formed about a visible optical effect be operated member reflection light at even tabula rasa The optical effect that inscattering is formed, further, is formed about a visible optical effect at described operating body The optics formed in even tabula rasa inscattering for the light of operated member reflection and the light of operating surface reflection Effect;When operating surface is equipped with reflecting layer and even tabula rasa, it is formed about one at described operating body visible Optical effect is that the light of operated member reflection and the light that reflected by reflecting layer are in even tabula rasa inscattering shape The optical effect become.
Certainly, according to different situations, also should have at the visible optical effect that described operating body is formed about Institute is different, explanation numerous to list herein.
The light efficiency equipment of the embodiment of the present invention, for a device with operating surface, described operating surface has one Light-reflecting property, say, that be capable of reflecting light line, wherein, as it is shown in figure 1, this light efficiency equipment includes:
The even smooth unit 10 formed by the material that optical property is uneven, for arranging described operating surface 40 On;
At least one, for light unit 20, covers described even light for being formed above described even smooth unit 10 The photosphere 30 of unit.Here, so-called covering is not offered as the two needs contact, it is merely represented in vertical direction On, photosphere has overlapping part with even smooth unit.
It is to say, this at least one confession light unit, for forming a photosphere above described operating surface, Described photosphere and described operating surface do not have intersection point, and at least some of light of described photosphere is entered described light The operating body of layer is reflected into described even smooth unit, enters the light of even smooth unit at described even smooth unit Described visible optical effect under scattering process, here, this visible optical effect is a halation, its light Imitating soft, area is bigger.
Certainly, above-mentioned even photosphere is simply to ensure that more preferable optical effect, when not having even photosphere, described At least some of light of photosphere arrives this operating surface after being entered the operating body reflection of described photosphere, thus shines This operating surface bright, forms this visible optical effect on described operating surface.This visible optical effect is exactly One illuminates effect.
Certainly, when there is no even smooth unit, in order to improve the observability of optical effect, it is also possible at operating surface On a reflecting layer is set, at least some of light of described photosphere is entered the operating body of described photosphere and reflexes to Reach described reflecting layer, the described visible optical effect of rear formation under the reflection in described reflecting layer, due to The reflectance in this reflecting layer is higher, so brightness is higher, optical effect becomes apparent from.
During it is found that do not have reflecting layer and/or even smooth unit on operating surface, only operating surface enters one Step reflection is entered the light of the operating body reflection of described photosphere, and its optical effect is poor, and adds reflecting layer Afterwards, owing to the reflectance in reflecting layer is higher, for operating surface, more light is had to enter Human eye, so optical effect becomes apparent from (brightness is higher), but now may be the brightest, And in one direction may luminance range, optical effect is the most uneven, if adding even light Unit, due to the scattering process of even smooth unit, now optical effect is softer, and owing to being scattering, Essentially identical optical effect can be experienced in each direction, improve user's impression.
When not having object touch operation face, photosphere is in the top of even smooth unit, enters light not having object During line transmission path, this layer of light will not be reflected to human eye, so for a user, is to be not generally visible , the light simultaneously sent for light unit will not enter even smooth unit, when operating body is close or touches this behaviour When making face, operating body can stop photosphere, owing to operating body is typically all rough surface, therefore, and the light of photosphere When being irradiated on object, diffuse-reflectance can be formed so that operating body stops that the part of photosphere is illuminated, and simultaneously Part reflection light can project the surface of even smooth unit, and is refracted into inside even smooth unit, due to even light Unit is the material formation that optical property is uneven, therefore, enters the light within even smooth unit and can be formed scattered Penetrate, uniformly scatter, be internally formed halation (visible optical effect) at even smooth unit.
Meanwhile, if ensureing that photosphere the most comprehensively covers above even smooth unit, then operating body is at operating surface Upper the most mobile, operating body can be illuminated and halation occurs under it, say, that the position of halation with Described operating body is corresponding relative to the position of described operating surface.Meanwhile, single body and multiple object all may be used Realize illumination effect simultaneously.
Certainly, in order to ensure that, when not having object to touch this operating surface, even smooth unit will not have the effect lighted, The side of this even smooth unit is provided with light shield layer, stops that light enters even smooth unit from side.
