In this way, the user can clearly distinguish the position of each button in a black, dark or low brightness environment to avoid accidental hits. [〇〇〇3] However, in addition to providing illumination, there is also an illuminated keyboard with a light-sensing effect, such as the Republic of China new patent No. M256532, which discloses a colorful illuminated keyboard, including a plurality of buttons and a colorful cold plate. The colorful luminescent panel has a plurality of illuminating regions, and the illuminating regions can respectively generate Q colors of different colors. In addition, the illuminating regions can correspond to different button groups of the keyboard (eg, plural function keys, plural number keys) , arrow keys, etc.), thereby enabling different types of button sets to have different backlight colors 'for the user to distinguish. [0004] Another example of the Republic of China, the new patent No. M256976, discloses a multi-color illuminated keyboard, comprising a keyboard body, a multi-color block light-emitting cold light sheet and a circuit component, the keyboard body comprising an upper cover and an elastic touch The layer, a flexible circuit board, a plurality of buttons and a bottom plate are arranged at a preset position of the upper cover and are permeable to light. The luminescent sheet is disposed on the elastic touch 100100770. Form No. A0101 Page 3 / 23 pages 1002001391-0 201230107 = ΓΤ ' 'The board is connected to the cold light sheet - the power supply is required to supply the cold light sheet The luminescent sheet includes a plurality of slab layers and can emit light Γ [0005] [0007] [100] The above prior art method is to illuminate a plurality of illuminable regions of the keyboard region. Providing non-color light, however, since the area will be illuminated at the same time after the illuminated keyboard is activated, the 2 variations provided are too monotonous and non-variant, and there is still a step-by-step improvement. 】

Wherein the illuminating time may be continuous (eg, the second illuminating time is subsequent to the first illuminating time) or the illuminating time may be separated by a non-illuminating time, and the (4) unit 32 will not output the non-illuminating time. Driving the signal, in addition, the illuminating time may also partially overlap each other (ie, the first illuminating time partially overlaps the second illuminating time). Further, in this embodiment, the operating condition may be preset to the control unit 32. The drive signal is output when the input signal corresponding to the "Fn" and "F1" to "F12" - buttons is simultaneously pressed. Further, when the setting step (sn) is performed, a plurality of driving modes may be pre-stored in the memory unit 33, and the driving mode is associated with the input S-number and includes an execution parameter.
