FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a keyboard according to the prior art. As shown in FIG. 1, the keyboard 丨 includes a keycap 10, a bottom plate 12, and a frame body 16. The frame body 16 is pivotally connected to the keycap 1 and the bottom plate 12 to vertically move the keycap 10 relative to the bottom plate 12. Generally speaking, the mobile device is first required to be thin and light, which is convenient for the user to carry, for example, a notebook computer, a personal digital assistant (pDA), and a mobile phone, so the mobile device must also be thin and light. In general, the method of reducing the thickness of the bottom plate 12 of the keyboard i is intuitive, but the problem is that the structural strength of the bottom plate 12 is insufficient, that is, the too large bottom plate 12 is easily deformed by an external force. Accordingly, the present invention provides a keyboard and an illuminated keyboard that meet the requirements of lightness and sturdiness to solve the above problems. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention is based on the provision of a keyboard comprising a keycap, a bottom plate, and a substrate. The towel bottom plate is combined with the substrate; the frame body engaging the key cap and the bottom plate can be vertically moved relative to the bottom plate. Another arm of the month is to provide an illuminated keyboard comprising a keycap, a bottom plate, (four) and a backlight module. The bottom plate is combined with the transparent substrate; the frame and the bottom plate are such that the key cap can be perpendicular to the bottom plate; and the backlight module is located under the light-transmitting substrate for providing keyboard backlight. In the X-month of this test, the bottom plate can be combined with the substrate or the transparent substrate by means of hot-melt, stamping or immersion (insert 5 1343064 molding). Thus, the key is increased. Therefore, the keyboard and the illuminated keyboard of the present invention have the durability of the reinforced structure, which is both thin and sturdy. The advantages and spirit of the present invention will be further understood from the following detailed description of the invention and the accompanying drawings. [Embodiment] FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing a key disc 2 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the keyboard 2 includes a keycap 20, a bottom plate 22, a base plate 24, and a frame body 26. The bottom plate 22 is coupled to the base plate 24; the frame body 26 engages the key cap 20 and the bottom plate 22 such that the key cap 2 is vertically movable relative to the bottom plate 22. In this implementation, the keycap 20 includes a first pivoting portion 2 and a first sliding portion 202. The bottom plate 22 includes a second pivoting portion 220 and a second sliding portion 222. The frame 26 includes a first bracket 260, a second bracket 262, and a connecting shaft 264. The first bracket 260 is pivotally connected to the first pivoting portion 2 and sliding to the second sliding portion 222; the second bracket 262 is pivotally connected to the first frame connecting portion 220 and sliding to the first sliding portion 202; The bracket 260 is connected by the connecting shaft 264 and intersects the second bracket 262. The keycap 2〇 can be vertically moved relative to the bottom plate 22 by the linkage between the first bracket 260, the second bracket 262 and the connecting shaft 2, and it should be noted that when the user presses the keycap 2〇 downward Because the frame body 26 has elasticity, when the user releases the keycap 2, the frame body will rebound from the 20 to the original height. In actuality, the keyboard 2 may further include an elastic body (not shown) between the keycap 20 and the bottom plate 22 for additionally providing the keycap 2〇-rebounding force, thereby increasing the feedback feeling of the user when typing. In this case, the material of the bottom plate 22 may be unrecorded steel, copper alloy or other metal. The material of the substrate 24 can be carbon fiber, thermosetting plastic, thermoplastic plastic or other engineering plastics. In general, the bottom plate 22 is light and thin, in addition to reducing the volume, it is also advantageous for processing on the bottom plate 22. However, as the thickness of the bottom plate 22 is reduced, the bottom plate 22 having a metal material of 6 1343064 is softer, that is, the bottom plate 22 is deformed by an external force. Therefore, the bottom plate 22 is thermally melted, stamped or buried = 24 to meet the requirements of the thin and touch structure. In addition, the bottom plate 22 has a first upper surface 224, a substrate 24 and a surface 244, and the first upper surface 224 and the second upper surface 244 are substantially co-grained, as shown in the figure, if the prior art keyboard 丨The bottom plate 1 is 2·6 mm' and the thickness cannot be changed. Under the brother, the substrate 24 can be -^^ i2 24 J ^fί The first-up surface 244 is coplanar. In this way, not only the thickness specifications, but also the degree can be arbitrarily designed to facilitate processing and reduce the amount of raw materials. The first-upper surface 224 of the winter wonder-, 22 may also be higher or lower than the field: up to $244, depending on the actual design. The younger one is on the surface and the third rider is shown in the first embodiment of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the illuminated keyboard 3 includes a key 〇, a board 32, a transparent substrate 34, a frame body 36, and a backlight module 38. The bottom plate 32 is connected to the transparent substrate 34; the frame 36 is connected to the key cap 3〇 and the bottom plate 32, so that the key cap 3〇 can move vertically to the bottom plate 32; the backlight module 38 is located under the transparent substrate %, For backlighting of the illuminated keyboard 3. The backlight module 38 can be used as a light source by using a light emitting diode (LED), depending on the type of LED, and the backlight can be colored or multi-colored. In addition, if the bottom plate 32 has no light transmission, the backlight can only pass through the joint of the light guide plate 34 and the bottom plate 32 to further illuminate the periphery of the keycap 3; otherwise, if the bottom plate has the first light transmitting portion 326 The keycap 30 has a second light transmitting portion 3()6, and the backlight can sequentially pass through the first light transmitting portion 326 and the second light transmitting portion 3〇6. The second light transmitting portion 3〇6 is a symbol and a letter on the keycap 3〇 on the /# and the letter' keycap 3G to emit light. Therefore, when the light source of the soil is weak, the buttons that are not 0 are easy to distinguish, and it is convenient for the user to input data. 7 1343064 Because the backplane 32 needs to pass the backlight, the backplane 32 has 326. In general, a portion of the bottom plate 32 is used as the first pass = also reduces the structural strength of the bottom plate 32. Compared with the second keyboard 3 in Fig. 2, it is necessary to strengthen the structural strength. Similarly, the illuminated keyboard 3' ^ fuse, stamped or buried (four) way combined with the silk plate 34 to strengthen the structure ^ compared to the prior art, the keyboard and the illuminated keyboard of the present invention and increase the durability of the keyboard, both Light and sturdy requirements. /, ,, ‘.
