First, a step is performed to provide a shrapnel film and a release paper. The shrapnel film has a first surface and a second surface, and the first surface includes an adhesive layer to adhere the metal shrapnel and the printed circuit board. Use; release paper cover adhesive layer 'used in the Yubu Fortune ship is not used _ layer part, in order to facilitate the process of another process. The weaving is transferred to 1G3, and the lining paper is punched, and the release paper is formed into a plurality of separate __ type paper sheets at predetermined positions of the corresponding key towel i. These release sheets, which can be individually peeled off, have positions corresponding to the position of the keycap, which may correspond to the shape of the metal dome, the adhesive layer which can be allowed to escape after the release sheet is subsequently peeled off. G ' 〇 - then ' can be carried out for step 5, and a -bump-like photocurable resin material is applied to the corresponding positions of the corresponding key caps of the second thin wires of the shrapnel. The method of application can be, for example, dispensing or commissioning. Since the glue is sprayed by the sprayer to spray a predetermined amount of material onto the elastic film, the movement speed of the nozzle head can be relatively faster than that of the transfer head used in the dispensing process. Save time. The light curable resin material can be generally used as a convex material, and can be selected in consideration of cohesive force and viscosity, in order to apply a good bump to the cable ___. Then, step 107' is performed to form a scale-like photocurable material to form a 6 201101357 plurality of convex bodies. Although in this step, the surface, which is perpendicular to the surface of the elastic film, is the second aspect of the elastic film, it is not excluded that the convex body can be formed into one surface: one side, but the other surface of the present invention is Same side. The surface is adhered to the film of the shrapnel, and step 109 is performed to remove the strip; the layer, and the plurality of metal shrapnel are divided into the side wheel 1^=2 to borrow the remaining release paper lion. The metal bullet (4) is also placed on the printed circuit board. Then, the key cap layer and the button semi-finished product are connected, and assembled, so that the key cap portions of the key cap layer are respectively located corresponding to the flexible printing, and above the body. Printed Circuit Board The assembly and bonding between the various components of the girth 2 can be achieved by using, for example, tape or adhesive. ",:hr,-· ο The order of _ ’ is not limited as long as it is g. For example, step 103 is performed to form a release sheet which can be separately peeled off. Alternatively, the release sheet may be peeled off as described above, and the release layer may be peeled off to expose the original layer 2' The metal elastic pieces are respectively adhered to the exposed adhesive bond step 105, and the photocurable resin material is applied to the second surface of the elastic film, and then the bump-like photocurable resin material is applied; then step 107 is performed to form the bump The photocurable resin material is cured by irradiation to form a plurality of convex bodies. Finally, the assembly of step m as described above is carried out. However, the first sticking, occupying the metal shrapnel and then forming the convex body, the miscellaneous adding light curable resin material, it is easy to have 201101357, and then the adhesion of the metal shrapnel is uneven. For this reason, it is difficult to form a convex body patch first. Further, an opening may be formed at the edge of the elastic sheet corresponding to the edge of the sheet of paper. For example, when punching the release sheet of the elastic film, punching of the through holes may be simultaneously performed, but not limited to simultaneous. The through hole is positioned just at the edge after the metal dome is bonded to the adhesive layer, i.e., the edge of the metal dome is just below the through hole. The through hole ❹ is set to release the compressed air after the finger is pressed, so that no resistance or rebound force is felt during the pressing. Furthermore, when assembling, a touch capacitive sensing layer can be further assembled between the semi-finished structure of the button and the keycap layer. Further, a light guide plate can be further assembled to the touch capacitance sensing layer and the key cap layer. FIG. 4 shows an exploded view of a specific embodiment of the key structure according to the present invention. The shrapnel film 16 is used to adhere the metal shrapnel and further adhere to the printed circuit board 12. The corresponding button cap of the elastic film 16 has a plurality of convex bodies 2〇, and the convex bodies 20 are formed directly on the elastic film 16 , and the elastic film 16 is well bonded to the elastic film. 16 on. The shrapnel film 16 may further have a through hole 32. The key cap portion 18 is located above the convex body 2〇 and is in contact with the convex body 2〇. When the keycap 28 is pressed, the pressure can be transmitted to the hairspring 14 by the wall island, so that the pressed metal elastic piece can be printed under the same. The button contacts on the circuit board 12 are correspondingly turned on. 201101357 Figure 5 shows a cross-sectional schematic view of a particular embodiment of a button structure in accordance with the present invention. Fig. 6 is a partial enlarged view of Fig. 5. The key structure as shown in Figures 5 and 6 includes a printed circuit board 12' having a plurality of key contacts % on the printed circuit board 12. A plurality of metal domes 14 are respectively disposed above the button contacts 26, and when the button body 28 is pressed, the metal springs 14 pressed by the text are electrically connected to the button contacts % below. The shrapnel film 16 has a surface 16a and a surface 16b. There is an adhesive layer on the surface (6). The shrapnel film 16 is covered with a metal smear layer of adhesive metal shingles μ and adhered to the printed circuit board 12 to secure the metal shrapnel 14 to the printed circuit board 12. A plurality of projections 20 are attached to the surface of the elastic film 16 and are positioned above the metal domes. Including, for example, the printing electric job U, the metal shrapnel cymbal, the shrapnel film 10, and the convex (four) are referred to herein as semi-structured or button semi-finished structures. - The keycap portion 18 is stepped over the projection 2〇 of the button semi-finished structure. The key cap portion 18 may include, for example, a key cap layer' and may further include a printed layer, a protective layer, or the like. The keycap portion 18 includes a plurality of keycaps 28 which may be connected keycaps or self-separating keycaps. The printed layer can provide a key _ color or text pattern. The protective layer U can be used to protect, for example, the printed layer from abrasion. Further, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, a light guide plate 22 may be provided between the key cap portion 18 and the projection 2 (). Guide_2 Table_ has a microstructure. The light guide plate 22 can be bonded to the key body 18 and the elastic film 16 by the adhesive layer 30, and the thickness of the adhesive layer used to bond the light shield plate 22 to the convex body 20 is The height of Lai's time, or where it collapsed. At least - a light emitting diode (LED) element may be further disposed on the side of the light guide plate η or below. 9 201101357 A touch capacitive sensing layer 24 is disposed between the keycap portion 18 and the protrusions 2〇. When the light guide plate 22 is disposed, the touch capacitance sensing layer 24 is preferably located between the light guide plate 22 and the protrusions 20. The gentleman of the touch capacitive sensing layer 24, the keycap portion 18, and the elastic sheet 16 can also be achieved by the adhesive layer 30.
