The specific embodiment
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing and the specific embodiment the utility model is described in further detail:
The utility model is that the LGP that backlight module is comprised is separated out several zones, and in each zone the plural light source that can produce different colours is set respectively, can produce different light color variation effects respectively in each zone.When described backlight module is incorporated into button, make the functional areas of the position of each light source corresponding to keyboard, therefore, when light source with the ray cast of different colours during in LGP, can conduct different light in the zones of different of LGP, thereby produce the visual effect of differentiation in the zones of different of keyboard.
Based on this, backlight module of the present utility model includes a LGP and plural light source, this LGP one in moulding is combined with the metallic plate that bending forming in advance goes out plural protuberance, make this metallic plate be positioned at bottom surface of light guide plate, utilize those protuberances that LGP is separated out plural section simultaneously, so that LGP has better intensity; Described metallic plate then is provided with the positioning component of outstanding lug before not in conjunction with LGP in advance, when LGP with ejection forming technique with after metallic plate combines, make those lugs and positioning component pass LGP, to be connected with bar linkage structure that button is formed; Described light source can be single or be the side that group's mode is located at each section of this LGP respectively, and the light source of each section can send the light of different colours, after light source enters LGP with the ray cast of different colours, light is able to via LGP conduction, allows the button of zones of different produce the illumination effect of different colours.
Illuminated keyboard in the utility model can utilize aforementioned backlight module to be incorporated into the button composition to constitute an illuminated keyboard, during its combination, be that the button composition is located on the LGP of this backlight module, after light source enters LGP with ray cast, light is able to via the LGP conduction, produces different visual effects with the difference in functionality zone at keyboard.
Illuminated keyboard in the utility model also can be located at described backlight module the button with base plate and form the below, makes the light that backlight module produced conduct to button from lower to upper.
Fig. 1 is for showing a preferred embodiment of the backlight module in the utility model, it has a LGP 1, the bottom surface one of this LGP 1 is combined with metallic plate 2, and this metallic plate 2 has plural protuberance 210 so that LGP 1 is separated out plural section, can't allow light conduct mutually because of being subjected to protuberance 210 obstructs between adjacent two sections; Each section side of LGP 1 is respectively provided to a few light source, and light source can enter the side projection of light from LGP 1, allows the independence of the section separately conducting light of LGP.
At embodiment shown in Figure 1, the light source of each described section setting is one, is respectively the first light source 3A, secondary light source 3B, the 3rd light source 3C and the 4th light source 3D, and the first light source 3A to the, four light source 3D produce the light of different colours respectively; For example, the first light source 3A is a ruddiness, and secondary light source 3B is a green glow, and the 3rd light source 3C is a blue light, and the 4th light source 3D is a gold-tinted; Therefore, after those light sources enter each section of LGP 1 with the ray cast of different colours, be able to send colors such as red, green, blue, Huang, after those light appear keyboard, then can produce special visual effect at those sections.
Fig. 2 shows another embodiment of backlight module in the utility model, can the light source group be set respectively at each described section side of LGP 1, and each light source group then comprises a plurality ofly can send light sources of different colors; For example, the first light source group 3A1, secondary light source group 3B1, the 3rd light source group 3C1 and the 4th light source group 3D1 include the light source of red, yellow, green three kinds of colors respectively, those light source groups can cooperate the control of circuit and chip program, allow the user when the button in operation keyboard difference in functionality zone, can allow specific light source luminescent, thereby make keyboard obtain more polynary variations in light effect.
Consult Fig. 3 A-Fig. 3 C again, the LGP 1 of backlight module and the preferable integrated structure of metallic plate 2 in the utility model, can get the metallic plate 2 on a plane as shown in Figure 3A, with press this metallic plate is bestowed processing and formed plural lug boss 21 again, to form second a higher upper surface 210 at lug boss 21, relatively low then is first upper surface 20; 2 of metallic plates between the adjacent protrusion portion 21 stamp out the lug 23 and positioning component 24 of plural number toward upper process, even can stamp out plural hole 22 (shown in Fig. 3 B) again; Described lug 23 is to determine according to the position of the needed button of keyboard portion's quantity and setting with the quantity and the position of positioning component 24; Second upper surface 210 of this lug boss 21 to the distance of this metallic plate first upper surface 20 equals to prepare the thickness of the LGP 1 of manufacturing.2 of metallic plates that formed behind lug 23 and the positioning component 24 are placed in the mould, the material that to make LGP with ejection forming technique is injected and is formed LGP 1 in the mould again, after manufacturing is finished, the upper surface 11 that long lug 23 and 24 of positioning components can pass LGP 1, and the LGP material can enter hole 22, allow LGP 1 firmly combine with metallic plate 2, make the upper surface 11 of LGP 1 and second upper surface 210 concordant (shown in Fig. 3 C) of lug boss 21 simultaneously, by this lug boss 21 LGP is separated out some sections, can't allow light conduct mutually thereby make between adjacent two sections.
Fig. 4 shows that the utility model can utilize aforesaid backlight module to constitute an illuminated keyboard in conjunction with button composition 4; It is to be located on the LGP 1 of this backlight module that described button forms 4, and after light source entered LGP with ray cast, light was able to via the LGP conduction, produced different visual effects with the difference in functionality zone at keyboard.
Described button is formed 4 and is included a button portion 41, a bar linkage structure 43, a circuit board 44, and the plastic sheeting 45 that is provided with elastomer 42 above, this bar linkage structure 43 is two pairs of connecting rods that intersection articulates, wherein the top and bottom of pair of links are articulated in button portion 41 belows and lug 23 respectively, another top and bottom to connecting rod then are connected to button portion 41 belows and positioning component 24, to finish the assembling of button composition 4 and LGP 1 top.
Fig. 5 is for showing another embodiment of illuminated keyboard of the present utility model, the button that aforesaid backlight module can be incorporated into different structure forms 4, described button is formed and is had a base plate 46 and at least one button portion 41, this button portion 41 is arranged on this base plate 46 in the mode that this base plate relatively moves up and down, and this base plate is provided with through hole 461 corresponding to the position of button portion.Below button composition 4, aforesaid backlight module is set then, the LGP 1 of this backlight module separates out some sections with Specifications with the metallic plate 2 of light-permeable not, the position of each section is then to should through hole 461, therefore, when being able to form the below from this button, the light that LGP 1 conducts up provides this button portion 41 light sources; The set light source of each described section side is to produce the light of different colours respectively to be same as aforesaid mode.
The above in order to explain preferred embodiment of the present utility model, is not that attempt is according to this to doing any formal restriction in the utility model only; All have following of identical spirit do relevant any modification or change, all must be included in the protection domain of the present utility model.
