Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the title method to apply light to a display part uniformly, by a method wherein molding is performed by casting resin through holes formed respectively on a closing part of the display part and the outside of the closing part and casting an external shape member into the closing part of the display part by interposing a slide pin into a mold. CONSTITUTION:A display member 13 is molded by molding a display part 11 and rest part 12 by molds 9, 10 by casting transparent resin through a casting port 8. In this instance, holes 18, 19 are provided respectively on a closing part 17 of the display part 11 and the outside of the closing part 17 by interposing a slide pin 16 having protrusions 14, 15 within the molds 9, 10. An external shape member 23 is molded by fixing a mold 21 on a position of the top 22 of the display part 11 by changing the mold 10 with the mold 21 and casting opaque resin into a gap between the mold 21 and display member 13. In this instance, the molding is performed by casting the opaque resin into the closing part 17 of the display part 11 by moving also the slide pin 16 downward. A key top 7 is formed by cutting off a protrusion 20 on a production of the bottom of the rest part 12 or a figure A-A part.
