Description

Key region assembly that portable communication terminal device is used and manufacture method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to be applied to portable communication terminal device (so-called mobile phone or intercom, hereinafter referred to as " mobile phone ") key region assembly, in more detail, relate to key region assembly and the manufacture method thereof that a kind of metal clips is installed on electroluminescence pad (EL sheet) top, can realizes that product is compact, knock rate height, good knocking sense.
Background technology
Generally speaking, keypad applications is in communication equipments such as mobile phones, and as signal and the required switching device of execution additional functions take place, this switching device has the key that is printing numeral or literal etc., key inserts in the hole that has on the communication equipment front casing, and its part protrudes from the front casing outside.
In the key of this formation keypad, form the printing surface as above show numeral or literal etc., confirm the numeral that shows on this printing surface or literal etc. for the user, press the key that needs.
And, in order also can to confirm above-mentioned printing surface, the light source that is made of light-emitting component is installed in the outside, bottom surface of key at night, if from light source irradiation light, utilize the back lighting effect, make numeral that the user prints on can identification key or literal etc.
The general main use LED of above-mentioned light source (Light-Emitting Diode) lamp, corresponding with the height of LED lamp in this case, the keypad enlarged in thickness is reducing there is limitation aspect the keypad thickness.
In addition, because a little less than the brightness of LED lamp, light can not shine wider, the shortcoming of existence is the peripheral part at a light irradiation LED lamp place.
Therefore, recently as a kind of method that is used to reduce keypad thickness, made as the electroluminescence pad (Electro-Luminescence sheet) of sheet (sheet) shape of planar luminous body keypad as the keypad light source.
The EL keypad is different from the keypad that original light-emitting diode (LED) light source of high light is sent in employing on one point, and the light source component of this product adopts the electroluminescence pad that sends the light of brightness (briliancy) homogeneous on all faces.Its advantage is, to compare identity higher with existing product, particularly compares with the LED keypad, more favourable at design aspect, helps the exploitation of the model of compactization such as ultrathin mobile phone.
Fig. 1 is the sectional view of the general electroluminescence mode metal clips keypad introduced in Republic of Korea's patent registration No. 10-0477080 number, and this metal clips keypad is made of keycap 210, electro luminescent metal shell fragment pad 220 and printed circuit board (PCB) 230.Wherein, electro luminescent metal shell fragment pad 220 is made of electroluminescence pad 222, metal clips 224 and base band 226.
Fig. 2 is the detailed sectional view of the electro luminescent metal shell fragment pad used in the general electroluminescence mode metal clips keypad.
As shown in the figure, electro luminescent metal shell fragment pad 220 is at the set adhesive 223 of electroluminescence pad 222 back coating, and electroluminescence pad 222 utilizes the adhesive 223 of coating bonding respectively with metal clips 224 or electroluminescence pad 222 with base band 226.
And, be coated with certain adhesive 227 in base band 226 back, bonding printed circuit board (PCB) 230.The following describes the function of this electroluminescence mode metal clips keypad.After the user pressed keycap 210, under actuator 211 effects that are positioned at keycap 210 back, metal clips 224 contacted with the fixed contact terminal 231 of printed circuit board (PCB) 230.
This electroluminescence pad is that the printed electroluminescent agent is made on certain thickness transparent basement membrane or diaphragm, or after adhering to the shell fragment pad on the metal clips, adheres to the electroluminescence pad and use on above-mentioned shell fragment pad.
With regard to this existing key region assembly, shell fragment pad and electroluminescence pad are positioned on the metal clips, and the integral thickness of key region assembly increases.
In addition, the rate of knocking is low, and the user need knock same key repeatedly, relatively inconvenience, and have the bad problem of sensitivity of knocking.
Summary of the invention
