Each of the operation keys 25 is provided with a light transmission area. 251. In addition, the electronic device 2 of the present invention further includes at least one cover 27 which is disposed on the panel 24 and can cover the rotary knob 26. The cover 27 can be rotated by the cover 27, and the top surface of the cover 27 is also A light transmitting region 271 is provided. The light-transmissive areas 251 and 271 can form a text pattern, that is, a position or a function indication of each of the operation keys and the rotary knob 26, such as the numbers 1 to 6 and FM1, FM2, etc. shown in this example. Circle or "<", ">", etc. It should be particularly noted that the number of the light-emitting elements 23 around each of the touch switch 222 and the rotary button 26 can be determined according to the size of the corresponding light-transmitting regions 251 and 271. 1300391 As shown in FIG. 3, in the use of the electronic device 2, the light of the light-emitting element 23 is transmitted through the light-transmitting region 251 on each of the operation keys 25 or the light-transmitting region 271 on each of the spins 26, so that the light is used. Even in a low-light environment, it is still clear that each operation key 25 or rotation button 26 is in a private state, and the brightness of the display 223 (see FIG. 2) can be easily used by the user. And any operation key 25 or rotation of the key is operated quickly, so that the use convenience is improved. The present invention may further include at least one light guide member 28 disposed above the panel and capable of being worn by the opposite rotary knobs 26, the light guide member 28 is in the form of a transparent ring, one end of which is connected with the light-emitting elements 23 around the corresponding rotating button 26, and covers the other end of the light-guiding member 28, thereby being emitted by the light-emitting element 23. The light can be output to the outside through the respective light-transmissive areas 251, 271 more concentrated under the guidance of a cow (5) as shown by the arrow 31 in FIG. ° As shown in Figure 4, the present invention may also include a light collecting plate 29 positioned between the panel 24 and the panel. An opening 291 is defined in each of the touch switch 222 and the rotating button 26, and a surrounding wall is respectively extended toward the panel 24 and the circuit board 22, and each of the openings 291 is opened. A light collecting area 293 is defined in the same manner as the surrounding surrounding wall 292. The light-emitting areas 293 around the touch switch 222 and the rotating button % are respectively located in the same-light collecting area 293. Thereby, each of the touch switches 222 and the surrounding light-emitting elements 23 are surrounded by the surrounding light-emitting elements 292 in the same light-collecting area 293, so that the light: 3, 1300,391 light can be further improved. It is concentratedly passed through the collecting wire 293 and outputted outward by the corresponding through-region 25i. When the light-emitting elements 23 recorded in the Cyclone 26 pass through the concentrating area 293, and can enter a 憎 憎 1 π 卫 月 & 纟 纟 纟 纟 纟 纟 纟 纟 纟 纟 纟 纟 纟 纟 纟 纟 纟 纟 纟 纟 纟 纟 纟The corresponding light transmitting region 271 is output to the outside. In summary, the electronic device 2 with the light guiding illumination effect of the present invention is provided with at least one illuminating element # 23 on each of the touch switches, such as the surrounding and the rotating button. The key h and the cover 27 are provided with light-transmissive areas 251, 271, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting element 23 can be outputted outward through the light-transmissive areas 251, 271 to provide a position for displaying each of the operation keys 25 or 260.
