Abstract
Description
本發明係有關一種發光鍵盤,尤指一種在基板與複數按壓單元之間形成一光通道的發光鍵盤。The invention relates to an illuminated keyboard, in particular to an illuminated keyboard for forming a light passage between a substrate and a plurality of pressing units.
鍵盤裝置作為電腦系統中指令輸出之設備,設計的重點著重於使用者能夠舒適且準確的輸入指令訊號。在光線不足的情況下,一個對鍵帽上之符號與文字配置尚不熟悉的使用者即面臨難以快速的輸入指令訊號的窘境,因此,為了因應在光線昏暗的環境下仍能令使用者清楚辨識出鍵帽上的符號與文字,廠商積極開發出適於黑暗中使用之發光鍵盤。The keyboard device is used as a device for outputting commands in a computer system, and the design focuses on the user's ability to input command signals comfortably and accurately. In the case of insufficient light, a user who is not familiar with the symbol and text configuration on the key cap is faced with the difficulty of quickly inputting the command signal. Therefore, in order to make the user clear in a dimly lit environment, Recognizing the symbols and text on the keycap, the manufacturer actively developed an illuminated keyboard suitable for use in the dark.
習知的發光鍵盤如美國公告第US 5,936,554號、第US 7,278,750號專利案,中華民國公告第566612號、第581961號專利案等,分別揭露多種於按鍵內部設有發光二極體的鍵盤裝置,設置於按鍵中的發光二極體得以對單一按鍵提供光源。然而目前標準鍵盤的配置有超過一百個按鍵,若必須於每個按鍵內皆設有相對應的發光二極體,勢必增加整體鍵盤組件的數目,非但增加製造工序與成本,亦使得產品無法達到輕量化。The conventional illuminating keyboards, such as the US Pat. No. 5,936,554, the US Pat. No. 7,278,750, the Republic of China Announcement No. 566612, No. 581961, etc., respectively disclose a plurality of keyboard devices having a light-emitting diode inside the button. A light-emitting diode disposed in the button provides a light source for a single button. However, the current standard keyboard configuration has more than one hundred buttons. If it is necessary to have corresponding LEDs in each button, the number of the entire keyboard components is bound to increase, which not only increases the manufacturing process and cost, but also makes the product impossible. Lightweight.
為解決前述缺失,習知的發光鍵盤具有利用導光板做為發光元件者,如美國公告第US6,648,530號、第US6,860,612號、第US7,531,764號,以及中華民國公告第516671號、第587800號、第594546號專利案等。其主要是以電致發光板(Electroluminescent Sheet)、光纖板材(Optical Fiber panel)等發光背板取代大量的發光二極體。因為此種發光鍵盤得以透過單一發光背板而使整體鍵盤均勻發光,故所需零件較少而可節省組裝的工序與成本。In order to solve the aforementioned deficiencies, the conventional illuminating keyboard has a light guide plate as a light-emitting element, such as US Pat. No. 6,648,530, US Pat. No. 6,860,612, No. 7,531,764, and Republic of China Announcement No. 516671, Patent No. 587800, No. 594546, and the like. It mainly replaces a large number of light-emitting diodes with an illuminating backing plate such as an electroluminescent sheet or an optical fiber panel. Because the illuminated keyboard can uniformly illuminate the entire keyboard through a single illuminated backplane, fewer parts are required and the assembly process and cost can be saved.
雖然採用導光板可達成均勻發光的發光效果,但光線過於分散的結果將導致光線的亮度不足,且難以辨識每一鍵帽上的字元符號。Although the light guide plate can achieve a uniform illumination effect, the result of excessive light dispersion will result in insufficient brightness of the light, and it is difficult to recognize the character symbols on each keycap.
為解決前述缺失,遂有非均勻發光鍵盤的問市,如美國公告第US7,154,059號專利案所揭示的一非均勻發光鍵盤,其係於鍵帽與導光板之間配置一遮蔽元件,該遮蔽元件位於個別鍵帽位置為一透光區域,而位於相鄰鍵帽非屬個別鍵帽下方位置為一不透光區域。該遮蔽元件僅容許光線自該透光區域通過,故該鍵盤僅有鍵帽會產生亮度。In order to solve the aforementioned deficiencies, there is a non-uniform illuminating keyboard, such as a non-uniform illuminating keyboard disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 7,154,059, which is disposed between the keycap and the light guide plate. The shielding element is located at a position of the individual keycaps as a light transmissive area, and the position of the adjacent keycaps below the individual keycaps is an opaque area. The shielding element only allows light to pass through the light transmissive area, so that only the keycap of the keyboard produces brightness.
除前述導光板外,習知技術也有利用導光條做為發光元件者,如中華民國公開第201115609號專利案,主要包含有一鍵盤部以及至少一導光條,該鍵盤部包含有複數個平行排列的按壓單元集合、一承載該複數按壓單元集合的基板,該導光條係設置於任二相鄰按壓單元集合之間,且至少包含一非透光區域以及一透光區域,該導光條以該透光區域的預設角度將光線直接投射至該些鍵帽。此種實施方式充分利用鍵盤的既有空間達到發光的效果,相較於利用導光板作為發光元件的發光鍵盤,不僅厚度較薄,重量也較輕。In addition to the aforementioned light guide plate, the prior art also uses a light guide strip as a light-emitting element. For example, the Patent No. 201115609 of the Republic of China discloses a keyboard portion and at least one light guide strip, and the keyboard portion includes a plurality of parallel lines. And a light-shielding strip disposed between any two adjacent pressing unit sets, and comprising at least one non-transmissive area and a light-transmitting area, the light guiding light is disposed on the substrate of the plurality of pressing unit sets The strip projects light directly to the keycaps at a predetermined angle of the light transmissive region. Such an embodiment fully utilizes the existing space of the keyboard to achieve the light-emitting effect, and is not only thinner but also lighter in weight than the illuminated keyboard using the light guide plate as the light-emitting element.
除前述使用導光板與導光條作為導光部以傳導光源的實施態樣外,為更進一步輕薄化發光鍵盤,有業者開發出不需導光部的發光鍵盤,諸如直接以電路板作為光源的專利案,如中華民國公告第I320901號專利案所揭,該發光鍵盤包含有一鍵帽、一支撐該鍵帽的底板、以及一整合有按鍵線路及發光體的發光電路板。因為發光電路板即可提供鍵帽足夠的光源,輕薄化的發光鍵盤得以實現。再另一種發光鍵盤,如中華民國公告第I350465號專利案所揭,該發光鍵盤包含有一由上蓋與底蓋組裝而成的蓋體、一設置於該蓋體內的鍵盤部、以及一發光單元,該底蓋上具備有一第一導光區域,該發光單元對該蓋體的第一導光區域提供一光源,令該光源於該第一導光區域擴散並向上投射至該鍵盤部。於此態樣中,光源直接於導光區域中傳導,不需借助該導光部即可照亮該鍵盤部,同樣可達到輕薄化的目的。In addition to the above-described embodiment in which the light guide plate and the light guide strip are used as the light guiding portion to conduct the light source, in order to further reduce the thickness of the illuminated keyboard, the manufacturer has developed an illuminated keyboard that does not require a light guiding portion, such as directly using the circuit board as a light source. The illuminating keyboard includes a keycap, a bottom plate supporting the keycap, and an illuminating circuit board integrated with the button line and the illuminant, as disclosed in the Patent No. I320901 of the Republic of China. Because the light-emitting circuit board can provide a sufficient light source for the keycap, a thin and light-emitting keyboard can be realized. In another example, the illuminated keyboard includes a cover body assembled from an upper cover and a bottom cover, a keyboard portion disposed in the cover body, and a light emitting unit, as disclosed in the Patent Publication No. I350465. The bottom cover is provided with a first light guiding area, and the light emitting unit provides a light source to the first light guiding area of the cover body, and the light source is diffused in the first light guiding area and projected upward to the keyboard part. In this aspect, the light source is directly conducted in the light guiding region, and the keyboard portion can be illuminated without using the light guiding portion, and the lightening and thinning can also be achieved.
前述以導光區域作為光傳導通道的專利案為了改善均勻發光而導致無法清楚辨識鍵帽上字元的缺失,除了可在鍵盤部與底蓋間設有一具備有透光區域與非透光區域遮蔽元件,亦可在該第一導光區域對應該鍵盤部位置凸設至少一聚光柱,藉以集中輸入該鍵盤部的光源。In the above patent case in which the light guiding region is used as the light guiding channel, in order to improve the uniform light emission, the missing characters on the key cap cannot be clearly recognized, except that a light-transmitting region and a non-light-transmitting region are provided between the keyboard portion and the bottom cover. The shielding component may further protrude at least one concentrating column corresponding to the position of the keyboard portion in the first light guiding region, thereby collectively inputting the light source of the keyboard portion.
由前述發光鍵盤之開發沿革可知,發光鍵盤逐漸朝向輕薄化以及非均勻發光的方向發展。為了達到輕薄化的目的,導光部較佳的以不占據實體空間的導光空間所取代,而為了達到非均勻發光的目的,於鍵盤內定義出不透光區域與透光區域益形重要。因此,業者無不集思廣益以提出一種兼具輕薄與非均勻發光特點的發光鍵盤。According to the development of the aforementioned illuminated keyboard, the illuminated keyboard gradually develops toward the direction of lightness and non-uniform illumination. In order to achieve the purpose of thinning and thinning, the light guiding portion is preferably replaced by a light guiding space that does not occupy a physical space, and in order to achieve non-uniform light emission, it is important to define an opaque region and a light transmitting region in the keyboard. . Therefore, the industry has been brainstorming to propose an illuminated keyboard that combines light and non-uniform illumination.
由前述兩種特點出發而構思的發光鍵盤,若以光源的位置做區分可具有下列兩種實施態樣。The illuminated keyboard, which is conceived from the foregoing two features, can have the following two implementations if it is distinguished by the position of the light source.
在第一種實施態樣中,光源設置於該鍵盤部的下方以由下往上投射光線,如中華民國公告第509955號專利案所揭,該發光鍵盤包含有一鍵盤部,以及一設置於該鍵盤部下方的背光裝置,該背光裝置從該鍵盤部的下方提供該鍵盤部光源。In a first embodiment, a light source is disposed under the keyboard portion to project light from bottom to top. As disclosed in the Patent Publication No. 509955, the illuminated keyboard includes a keyboard portion, and a keyboard is disposed thereon. a backlight device under the keyboard portion, the backlight device providing the keyboard portion light source from below the keyboard portion.
在第二種實施態樣中,光源設置於該鍵盤部內以橫向投射光線,如美國公告第US8,144,035號專利案所揭,該發光鍵盤包含有一鍵盤部與一發光部,該鍵盤部具有一按壓平面以及一設置於該按壓平面下方的基板,該發光部將光線導通於該按壓平面與該基板之間形成的一發光區間,令該發光區間產生亮度。In the second embodiment, the light source is disposed in the keyboard portion to project the light in the lateral direction. The light-emitting keyboard includes a keyboard portion and a light-emitting portion, and the keyboard portion has a light-emitting portion, as disclosed in US Pat. No. 8,144,035. a pressing plane and a substrate disposed under the pressing plane, the light emitting portion is configured to conduct light to a light-emitting interval formed between the pressing plane and the substrate, so that the light-emitting interval generates brightness.
雖然光線傳導距離上的差異會導致第二種實施態樣相較於第一種實施態樣具有較高的亮度,但第二種實施態樣仍具有其缺失,舉例來說,鍵盤內的薄膜電路板大多為塑膠材質所製成,因此,鍵盤部內的部分光線會穿透該薄膜電路板而散失於鍵盤部內。Although the difference in light transmission distance causes the second embodiment to have higher brightness than the first embodiment, the second embodiment still has its absence, for example, a thin film in the keyboard. Most of the circuit boards are made of plastic material, so part of the light in the keyboard portion penetrates the thin film circuit board and is lost in the keyboard portion.
本發明之主要目的,在於提出一種不需要設置任何導光部,且兼具輕薄與非均勻發光特點的發光鍵盤。The main object of the present invention is to provide an illuminated keyboard which does not require any light guiding portion and which has both thin and non-uniform illumination characteristics.

透過前述所記載的技術方案,本發明相較於習知技術具有下列所述的優點:Through the technical solutions described above, the present invention has the following advantages over the prior art:
- 確保光線不會自該鍵盤部內散失。本發明利用該遮光單元的非透光區域與該電路板的非透光面定義出一位於該基板與該複數按壓單元之間的光通道。該光通道將該至少一發光元件所發出的光源導向該鍵盤部內唯一的光線出口,亦即,該遮光單元的透光區域。如此一來,對應至該透光區域的該複數按壓單元可近乎接收該至少一發光元件所發出的所有光線。Make sure that light is not lost from the keyboard. The invention utilizes a non-transmissive region of the shading unit and a non-transmissive surface of the circuit board to define an optical channel between the substrate and the plurality of pressing units. The light channel directs the light source emitted by the at least one light-emitting element to a single light exit in the keyboard portion, that is, a light-transmitting region of the light-shielding unit. In this way, the plurality of pressing units corresponding to the light-transmitting region can receive almost all the light emitted by the at least one light-emitting element.
- 兼具輕薄與非均勻發光特點。本發明不需要設置任何導光部,諸如導光板或導光條,僅利用一光通道即可達到高亮度的效果,且光通道的截面積越小光線將越集中,故相當容易滿足輕薄的需求。另一方面,該遮光單元的透光區域係對應至該複數按壓單下方的位置,該非透光區域係對應至非屬該複數按壓單元下方的位置,因此,本發明亦具有非均勻發光的特點。It combines light and non-uniform illumination. The invention does not need to provide any light guiding portion, such as a light guide plate or a light guiding strip, and the high brightness effect can be achieved by using only one light channel, and the smaller the cross-sectional area of the light channel is, the more concentrated the light will be, so it is quite easy to satisfy the thin and light. demand. On the other hand, the light-transmitting area of the light-shielding unit corresponds to a position below the plurality of pressing sheets, and the non-light-transmitting area corresponds to a position not under the plurality of pressing units, and therefore, the present invention also has the characteristics of non-uniform light emission. .

The light channel 23 can improve the light in the conventional keyboard to penetrate the film circuit board and cause some of the light to be lost in the keyboard. Further, in the present invention, light is transmitted through the optical channel 23, so that the light guiding portion can be omitted, and the assembly process and cost are reduced.
請參閱『圖4』,係本發明第二實施例之結構分解示意圖。此一實施例與前述實施例的差異在於該發光單元21並不使用設置於相鄰按壓單元集合100之間的該長條狀的導光條211。取而代之的,該發光單元21設置於該底板12上,並將光線投射至前段所述的光通道23內,如『圖3』所示,該發光單元21較佳的係為一發光二極體。如此,本發明具備光通道之發光鍵盤僅利用該遮光單元20與電路板22即創造出一匯聚光線的光通道23,大幅簡化導光機構而具有輕薄的特點。Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a schematic exploded view of a second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the foregoing embodiment is that the light-emitting unit 21 does not use the elongated light-guiding strip 211 disposed between the adjacent pressing unit sets 100. Instead, the light-emitting unit 21 is disposed on the bottom plate 12 and projects light into the optical channel 23 described in the preceding paragraph. As shown in FIG. 3, the light-emitting unit 21 is preferably a light-emitting diode. . Thus, the illuminated keyboard provided with the optical channel of the present invention uses only the light shielding unit 20 and the circuit board 22 to create a light channel 23 for collecting light, which greatly simplifies the light guiding mechanism and is light and thin.
請參閱『圖5』至『圖7』,係本發明第一實施例之光線傳導示意圖(一)~(三)。該些圖式的差異在於該非透光面的位置。如『圖5』所示,該非透光面224係一位於該下層薄膜222上的一反光層或一不透光層。如『圖6』所示,該非透光面224係一位於該間隔薄膜222上的一反光層或一不透光層,或是『圖7』所示,該非透光面224係一位於該上層薄膜221上的一反光層或一不透光層。由圖示可知,該非透光面224位於該上層薄膜221的態樣具有最小的光通道23截面積。而於該非透光面224位於該間隔薄膜223或該下層薄膜222的態樣中,部分光線會穿透該上層薄膜221或該上層與間隔薄膜221、223。Please refer to FIG. 5 to FIG. 7 , which are schematic diagrams (1) to (3) of light transmission according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The difference in these patterns lies in the position of the non-transmissive surface. As shown in FIG. 5, the non-transparent surface 224 is a reflective layer or an opaque layer on the underlying film 222. As shown in FIG. 6 , the non-transparent surface 224 is a reflective layer or an opaque layer on the spacer film 222 , or is shown in FIG. 7 , and the non-transparent surface 224 is located at the same. A reflective layer or an opaque layer on the upper film 221 . As can be seen from the figure, the non-transmissive surface 224 is located in the upper layer film 221 and has a minimum cross-sectional area of the optical channel 23. In the aspect in which the non-transmissive surface 224 is located in the spacer film 223 or the lower film 222, part of the light penetrates the upper film 221 or the upper layer and the spacer film 221, 223.
該非透光面224可利用塗佈、貼附等任何物理或化學方法設置於該下層薄膜222上。舉例來說,該反光層可為被塗佈於該下層薄膜222上的銀色顏料,該不透光層可為被塗佈於該下層薄膜222上的白色顏料。除前述態樣外,該上層、下層、與間隔薄膜221、222、223也可直接由不透光材質所製成,或由反光材質所製成。如此一來,更可省略設置該非透光面224於下層薄膜222的工序而減少製造成本。該不透光材質與反光材質已廣泛的見於市面上,故不多加贅述。The non-transmissive surface 224 can be disposed on the underlying film 222 by any physical or chemical means such as coating, attachment, or the like. For example, the light reflecting layer may be a silver pigment applied to the lower film 222, and the light impermeable layer may be a white pigment applied to the lower film 222. In addition to the foregoing aspects, the upper layer, the lower layer, and the spacer film 221, 222, and 223 may be directly made of an opaque material or made of a reflective material. In this way, the process of providing the non-transmissive surface 224 to the lower film 222 can be omitted, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. The opaque material and the reflective material have been widely found in the market, so it is not mentioned.
從光線傳導的路徑切入,該發光單元21於該光通道23內所投射的光線會不斷的反射於該非透光區域202與該非透光面224之間的光通道23內,或是水平行進於該光通道23內。不管光線於該光通道23內的行進方向為何,光線最終皆通往該光通道23的唯一出口,亦即,該遮光單元20的透光區域201。當光線通過該透光區域201時,部分的光線會直射至該按壓單元10,而另一部分的光線則會被透光的彈性元件132與連動機構131所吸收而間接的傳導至該按壓單元10。最終,該按壓單元10近乎接收到該發光單元21所全部投射的光線。該發光鍵盤的按壓單元10因對應該透光區域201而具有高亮度,而發光鍵盤中非按壓單元10的部分對應該非透光區域202而不具有亮度,藉此,本發明具備光通道之發光鍵盤更具有非均勻發光的特點。The light projected from the light-emitting unit 21 in the light channel 23 is continuously reflected in the light channel 23 between the non-transmissive region 202 and the non-transmissive surface 224, or horizontally traveled from the light-conducting path. Inside the light tunnel 23. Regardless of the direction of travel of the light within the light tunnel 23, the light eventually leads to the only exit of the light tunnel 23, that is, the light transmissive region 201 of the light blocking unit 20. When the light passes through the transparent region 201, part of the light will be directly transmitted to the pressing unit 10, and the other portion of the light will be absorbed by the transparent elastic member 132 and the linkage mechanism 131 and indirectly transmitted to the pressing unit 10. . Finally, the pressing unit 10 receives almost all the light projected by the light emitting unit 21. The pressing unit 10 of the illuminated keyboard has high brightness due to the corresponding light-transmitting area 201, and the portion of the non-pressing unit 10 in the illuminated keyboard corresponds to the non-transmissive area 202 without brightness, whereby the present invention has an optical path The illuminated keyboard has the characteristics of non-uniform illumination.
綜上所述,本發明利用該遮光單元的非透光區域以及該電路板的非透光面定義出一光通道,令發光單元投射至該光通道的光線不會穿透該電路板而散失於鍵盤內。相較於習知技術,本發明不需要設置任何導光部,減少組裝的工序與成本,更具有輕薄的特點,另一方面,本發明更利用遮光單元的透光區域與非透光區域來達到非均勻發光的特點,令使用者能夠清楚的辨識按壓單元上的字元符號。因此,本發明極具進步性及符合申請發明專利之要件,爰依法提出申請,祈 鈞局早日賜准專利,實感德便。In summary, the present invention defines a light channel by using the non-transmissive area of the light shielding unit and the non-transmissive surface of the circuit board, so that the light projected by the light emitting unit to the light channel does not penetrate the circuit board and is lost. In the keyboard. Compared with the prior art, the present invention does not need to provide any light guiding portion, reduces the assembly process and cost, and has the characteristics of being light and thin. On the other hand, the present invention further utilizes the light transmitting region and the non-light transmitting region of the light shielding unit. The non-uniform illumination is achieved, so that the user can clearly recognize the symbol on the pressing unit.
