Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Tastaturanordnung für eine elektronische Vorrichtung, insbesondere für eine mobile elektronische Vorrichtung, wie beispielsweise ein Mobilfunk-Endgerät, umfassend wenigstens eine Tastaturmatte (12) mit wenigstens einem Bedienungselement (16, 28), wobei das wenigstens eine Bedienungselement (16, 28) auf einer Betätigungsseite (14) von der wenigstens einen Tastaturmatte (12) vorspringt und wobei das wenigstens eine Bedienungselement (16, 28) auf einer der Betätigungsseite (14) abgewandten Kontaktseite (44) mit elektrisch leitenden Kontaktmitteln (46) versehen ist, wobei weiter das Bedienungselement (16, 28) bei Druckbeaufschlagung (P) aus einer Ruhestellung in eine Kontaktstellung verlagerbar ist, in welcher wenigstens zwei diesem zugeordnete elektrische Kontakte (50, 52) einer elektronischen Schaltung (48) über die Kontaktmittel (46) elektrisch leitend verbindbar oder verbunden sind. Bei der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Kontaktmittel (46) einen dem jeweiligen Bedienungselement (16, 28) separat zugeordneten Kontaktkörper (46) aus elektrisch leitendem, elastisch deformierbarem Material umfassen. Die Erfindung betrifft ferner eine elektronische Vorrichtung, insbesondere eine mobilelektronische Vorrichtung, wie beispielsweise ein Mobilfunk-Endgerät mit einer derartigen Tastaturanordnung.
