Abstract

A kind of keyboard with backlight framework, which employs a light guiding space formed by a bridging plate and a bottom plate beneath the keyboard section to perform light reflection on the bridging plate for the light entering the light guiding space from a light guiding section installed in the light guiding space to the corresponding to-be-light-emitted keyboard section so that light is emitted from the keyboard section. Therefore, a low cost design is achieved, which can concentrate light to be shown on the keyboard and prevent from undesired whole keyboard light-emitting shortcoming.

Description of the Invention: [Technical Fields of the Invention] > This is a type of keyboard having a light structure, in particular, a backlight structure for emitting a light source to a keyboard portion under the keyboard portion. [Prior Art] Whether it is a desktop computer 'laptop' notebook computer, or a network television, the disk is convenient for tapping in a low-brightness or dark environment. The key-iU ' has been issued a variety of illuminated keyboard patents, such as the United States Qing Jia 8, 6, 199996 '6554442, 6179432, Taiwan Bulletin No. 5, 9955, 465777, 5〇9955, 535385, 438035, 570235, side 33, 516671 No., there is a use of a built-in illuminating sheet to shoot out the light source, so that the user can clearly determine the keyboard tap position. However, in the above-mentioned various patent technical documents, it is possible to find out the common points. In each patent technology = document towel, there is a demand for _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ And the linkage mechanism to = _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The aircraft m is difficult to see in the age, more sturdy, dark, such as the secret, the car above the 9 degree environment, but the entire keyboard is illuminated, which will affect other people around, and low here; A & + Hu is too strong and too low, if ~Μ, the system is difficult to see the visual ability to fall = the symbol is made of opaque material, or the key will be due to the light source between the adjacent keycaps The difficulty of the interference effect, the unfamiliarity can not be a true nostalgia - ~ Easy output error command signal. The 4 key towel to the person who pays the number will often produce a tapping error and the content of the invention is to avoid the existence of the missing. The present invention is a backlighting system that avoids the lack of illumination of the entire keyboard through the backlight 2 First, the light source formed by the bridge plate and the bottom plate under the keyboard portion transmits a space of 5 1269333, so that the light-conducting space entering the light source is guided by the bridge plate corresponding to the light source disposed on the keyboard portion. The part is refracted to the keyboard bile, so that the actual range of the light source to be emitted by the keyboard part can be effectively limited according to the design position and size of the light guiding part. Another object of the present invention is that the light guiding portion can be integrally formed and molded with the bridge plate, and the bridge plate or the bottom plate can be provided with a refractive surface to enhance the brightness effect of the light source, thereby reducing the design of the light source component. Reduce backlight architecture costs. [Embodiment] The detailed description and technical contents of the present invention will now be described as follows:

As shown in the figure, the present invention is a keyboard 1G with a backlight structure, and the composition of the keyboard 1G is made up of a top-down package. The part= is composed of a plurality of buttons (4), and the button u includes a surface having a symbol iu^ key 1 111 and providing a linkage mechanism for the keycap 111 to press the displacement stroke. The linkage mechanism 112 is a scissors-type linkage mechanism. A bridge board 12 is provided to provide a pressing position of the keyboard portion 101 relative to the bridge board n; a signal sensing component 13 is disposed under the ==, the signal triggering component 13 includes a triggering member r32. The hard portion m presses the rotating circuit board (3) 12 π w-14 ' between the output signal and the bridge (4), the bottom plate 14 m is a source conduction space 2G, and at the source of the bridge plate 12 (for example, symbol mi), the space 2 is led to the light source 121, so that The light guiding portion 121 receives the guide 3〇1 1〇1 - a ^ 3-2 101 and can further be provided with the polygon shown in Fig. 4, and the light guide absorbs or increases the refractive index of the light source outside the light guiding portion (2). The light-emitting portion 122, if the set or the light source is turned out to the fiber portion 101, it; πΤ^ 111 ππ allows the user It can be clearly identified that mtfr can be designed for the town or is transparent so that the light source emits ^ π ; ΐί! ill 6 1269333 both let the single-key cap (1) emit light, while the area between the key cap lu and the key cap (1) is not produced: The source of the county can be over-bright and there is a slap in the mouth of the Zhejiang. The light guide (2) design system can be extended to the bottom plate 14, in addition to providing the light source refraction effect. The board 12 achieves a stable fixed position. In addition, as shown in the "5th to 5th", since the present invention provides a light source conduction space 2, the / rabbit light source 3a, 30b will not need to be provided with a full-chip light-emitting element, as shown in the figure The light source 30a is disposed on the peripheral side of the keyboard unit 101, or as shown in FIG. 5-2. The light source 3〇b is disposed under the keyboard unit 101 and arranged in a sheet-like light-emitting device. The conductive space 20 can be connected, and the light source can be connected to a power switch μ to the outside of the disk 10 to enhance the reflection effect of the light source 3〇a, 3〇b. The brightness of the light source conducting space 20 is effectively brightened by using at least one side of the bottom surface of the bridge plate 12 and the bottom surface 14 of the guiding space 20 as a light source refractive surface (if the ten-black circuit board 131 is disposed in the light source) The space 20 is located on the bottom surface of the light source conduction space 2, the surface of the board 12 and the surface of the circuit board (3), at least one side is a light source refractive surface; or the touch element is connected to a film board (MYLAR), and the film board Is disposed in the light conduction space of the light source, and is located The bottom surface of the bridge plate 12 of the light source conducting space 20 and the surface of the film plate, at least the surface is the refracting surface of the light source, so that the light source 3Ga, 3Gb can enter the light source conducting space 2Q and effectively pass through the light source to fold and increase the brightness of the emitting surface; 30a, 30b have sufficient brightness, and in order to avoid external light may be stunned or avoid the interference of the light source in the light-conducting space 2〇, the bottom surface and the bottom plate of the bridge 12 of the light source conduction space 20 may be located at: The surface of the 14 is an opaque shielding surface, and the emission light source 30a in the county source conduction space 20 ensures that only the light guiding portion 121 emits a light source to the keyboard portion ι〇.
