Description of the invention Q) board, and the aforementioned protrusions are placed in accordance with their respective The position of the aforementioned key end and the aforementioned switching element. The first thin plate layer may be formed by integrally forming a light-transmitting key end made of acryl or the like on the surface of a light-transmitting thin plate made of P E T or the like according to a bonding and surface forming technique. In addition, the aforementioned display portion is a structure showing the key-end operation contents such as numerals and characters, and can be printed and formed on the bottom or top surface of the corresponding key end or the surface or reverse side of the sheet material of the first sheet layer. In addition, the second thin sheet layer of the front fan is a light diffusing sheet that performs its function. The light diffusing function can be maintained by applying a pear to the sheet surface and using a milky white material. In addition, the protrusions may be formed by self-bulging of the second thin plate layer and thin plate by embossing. However, if epoxy resin or the like is formed on both sides of the thin plate by printing, it is desirable to ensure the protrusions. The hardness and height required by the Ministry. In addition to the above structure, if the second thin plate layer covers the surface of the circuit board, the exposed space of the electrical circuit of the circuit board can be sealed, so that a dust-proof and waterproof structure can be realized at low cost.
