INSTRUCTIONS: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a keyboard architecture, and in particular to a thin-type illuminated keyboard architecture. [Prior Art] The keyboard device has become an indispensable command input device in the current computer system. Due to the Langwei and Shilinyuan of the computer system, the difficult device must be developed to meet the needs of the user. In low-light or dark environments, a variety of keyboards with illumination capabilities have been developed to allow users to misplace the various buttons on the keyboard. For example, U.S. Patent No. 5,936,554, U.S. Patent No. 7,278,750, the patent of the Chinese Patent No. 566 612, No. 581 961, discloses a variety of keyboard devices having a light-emitting diode inside a button, and a light-emitting device disposed in the button. The diodes provide light to the single-buttons, allowing the user to clearly identify the individual keys in the dark or in low light. Although such an illuminated keyboard device can solve the above problems, the current standard keyboard configuration has more than one hundred buttons. If it is necessary to have a corresponding light-emitting diode in each button, the overall keyboard component is bound to be increased. The number not only increases the process and cost, but also makes the product less lightweight. In addition, the power consumed by a large number of light-emitting diodes and the heat generated are also caused by users. Another type of keyboard having illumination capability can be found in U.S. Patent No. 6,179,432, U.S. Patent No. 6,199,996, U.S. Patent No. 6,217, No. 8, No. 6, No. 6,284,988, No. 6,322,229, No. 6,554,442, No. 6,590,508. No. 6,648,530, US 6,860,612, US 7,235,752, US 7,239,303, and US 7,388,167, and Republic of China No. 509955, No. 71, No. 587, No. Cup No., No. 30957, No. 1231693, No. 1 Hall No., No. The illuminating keyboards respectively expose a plurality of illuminating back sheets such as an electroluminescent sheet or a ticaptica JFiberpanel on the upper or lower side of the bottom plate, so that the buttons located above the illuminating back board can transmit light. For the user to identify the location. Although the illuminating keyboard "J makes the whole keyboard uniformly illuminate through a single illuminating backboard, compared with the above-mentioned illuminating keyboard disposed inside the button, the domain parts can be reduced and the assembly is convenient, and the electroluminescent panel and the optical fiber sheet are The power consumption is extremely low, which is beneficial for long-term use. However, the above-mentioned illuminated keyboard must have a light-emitting backplane added above or below the bottom plate, so that the illuminated keyboard has a certain thickness of 5 201005584 degrees, which is not conducive to the manufacture of thin products. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main object of the present invention is to reduce the overall thickness of an illuminated keyboard and to provide a thinned force. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a thin type of illuminated keyboard structure comprising a keyboard portion and a light emitting portion.

Wherein, the light-emitting portion τ is lightly projected by the wire; if the hair is in a light-like manner (4) parallel to the substrate; the height of the light projected by the light-emitting portion increases with the distance from which the light is projected, and even the light-emitting portion A projection angle is formed between the direction of the projected light and the edge of the pressing plane, so that the light-emitting portion can adjust the projection condition according to the optimal light-emitting state. In the present invention, the light emitting portion may directly output light to the light emitting interval, or may uniformly flood the light in the light emitting portion by a light guiding member disposed in the light emitting portion. The light emitting portion has at least one light emitting portion. The diode is either a - laser hair. The light-emitting region has at least a light guiding channel formed by the pressing members, and the light guiding channels are parallel to each other and light is conducted to the light emitting portion. In an embodiment, a light-emitting portion is disposed at an end of the light guiding channel, and the light is supplied to the light-transmitting channel; in another embodiment, the light-emitting portion is disposed in the light guiding channel to provide two Side light into the light guiding I channel. In order to enable the fine pressing member to have more obvious visibility, in the splicing room, corresponding to each of the respective illuminating members, an anti-hetero or concentrating member may be provided. The pressing member may be entirely of a light transmissive material or have a light transmissive area on the surface for allowing light to appear to present a character symbol and an opaque area not belonging to the symbol position of the character. = Send a fine material to the key balance. In the implementation, the intermediate body and the substrate are connected to each other by a linkage mechanism, and the linkage mechanism has an elastic body for reciprocating the pressing member with respect to the substrate.

The light key is difficult to change, and the various keys are set to send fresh elements, which can reduce the whole keyboard and the whole part of the Wei Wei, Na low (four) finely set the electroluminescent board or Lai domain to do μ & $ sudden increase ^, should first The keyboard of the line does not need to be provided with the illuminating layer, and the thickness of the erroneous level disc is provided, which is beneficial to the _product [implementation], the details of the invention and the technical content, and the description of the job matching is as follows. Referring to FIG. 1 , a structural cross-sectional view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in the figure. As shown in the drawing, the present invention is a thin-type illuminated keyboard structure including a keyboard and a light. Department 20. The keyboard portion H) includes a pressing surface 111 for the user to apply the pressure by a plurality of age-based u-domains, and a substrate 12 disposed under the plane to retain the pressing members u. In the present embodiment, the bridge member is connected to the substrate 12, and a linking mechanism 15 is coupled between the pressing member u and the substrate 12, respectively. The upper fixing portion 121 fixes the linking mechanism 15 to the substrate 12, and an elastic body 15 is disposed in the linking mechanism 15. After the pressing member u is pressed by force, the upper and lower reciprocating motions of the substrate 12 can be performed. . In this embodiment, the light emitting portion 2 is disposed on the substrate 12 to generate a light that is parallel to the substrate 12 and input light into the light between the pressing plane 111 and the substrate 12. In the section 21, the light-emitting section 21 is provided with a brightness for the user to recognize the pressing member 。. The light-emitting portion 2 can be selected from a light-emitting diode or a light-emitting source such as a laser illuminator. The light-emitting portion 20 can directly input the generated light into the light-emitting portion 21 or uniformly input the light into the light-emitting portion 21 through the light-guiding element disposed in the light-emitting portion 21, and the light-guiding element can be an optical fiber. Materials, polycarbonate materials, etc. In the present invention, the direction in which the light-emitting portion 20 projects light may be provided in addition to being parallel to the substrate 12 as described above. As shown in Fig. 2, the height of the light projected by the light-emitting portion 20 increases as the distance from which the light is projected. In general, the projection of horizontal light does not allow the distal end to be connected to the proximal end member 11 to obtain an equal amount of light, which may result in uneven illumination of the pressing plane 111. Therefore, if the projection height ' of the light-emitting portion 20 can be adjusted such that the height of the projected light increases with the distance of the light projection of the 201005584, the unequal amount of light can be given according to the distal or proximal pressing member u, so that the pressing plane U1 is pressed. Achieve uniform illumination. In addition, the direction of the light projected by the light-emitting portion 20 and the edge of the pressing plane U1 are equal to (four degrees) θ, as shown in Fig. 3, and the projection angle 介于 is 0.

The light-emitting portion 20 can be disposed at the end of the light guiding channels 2Ua, 2ub, and provides light in a single direction to the light guiding channels 211a, 211b of the light-emitting portion 21 as shown in FIG. Or • Λ illuminate. It is disposed in the light guiding channels 2iia, 2iib as shown in FIG. 5 to provide two sides of light into the light guiding channels 2iia, 2Ub. The thin illuminating keyboard structure of the present invention can uniformly illuminate the light generated by the illuminating unit 20 into the illuminating _ 21 in the above manner, so that the illuminating off 21 has a state in which the brightness is uniformly illuminated, as shown in FIG. Or, in a special environment, or the user's special needs, there may be a particularly touchable brightness for each of the other pressure members. Therefore, in the present invention, a reflection member 13 may be disposed in the illumination interval η corresponding to the position of each of the pressing members u, as shown in FIG. 6, so that the reflection portion 21 is caused by the reflection. The piece 13 changes the miscellaneous material to be emitted in the direction of the cake, so that the respective pressing member 11 has a higher contrast in the shed light-off 21, and the light-emitting interval 21 _ corresponds to the position of the individual dust-removing member 11 A concentrating member η is provided, as shown in Fig. 7. The concentrating member 14 may be coated with a phosphor or a sizing agent on the surface, or may be made of a glare material or a nucleus material, so that the concentrating member M can receive the light provided by the illuminating section and excites 2 The generation of photo-cooling luminescence also allows the Φ u position to have a higher contrast brightness than the surrounding illumination interval. In this way, the keyboard system is not evenly distributed. In the bridge interlocking keyboard structure of the embodiment, the linking mechanism 15 or the elastic body 151 may also be a concentrating material to enhance the brightness contrast between the upper end pressing member U and the surrounding lighting portion 21. The invention can be fulfilled in the _ real off towel, 贞 ij outline (four) can be tested in another-fiber tray structure. Referring to FIG. 8 , the pressing member n and the substrate 12 respectively have a corresponding one of the key posts 16 and a key base π , and the key base π has an opening m for the _ 16 insertion. And in the key base 17 & has - an elastic body 172 that abuts the end of the key column 16, so that the pressing member n has 8 201005584 to be relative to the difficulty 17 妓. The light-emitting portion 2G supplies light to the inside of the system 21, and the light-emitting portion 21 is provided with brightness ', so that the pressing member 11 can be accurately operated even when the light is insufficient. In addition, in order to achieve non-uniform illumination, the key column 16, the key base 17 or the elastic body 胄2胄 may be made of a front condensing material, or a surface concentrating agent or the like may be coated on the surface to make the key 枉16 The key base 17 or the elastic body 172 has a higher light contrast with respect to the surrounding light-emitting section 21, so that the user can easily recognize the respective upper pressing members U. In the present invention, the pressing member can be a light transmissive material, and the light in the illuminating section 够 can penetrate the surface of the pressing member n uniformly, so that the user can recognize the text on the pressing member or ® 9 』.
