No. 7,070,349, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. After the keyboard is assembled, it can be seen that there is a gap B between the button layer A and the button layer A on the keyboard. Although the slit B provides the button operation, it does not affect the adjacent button, but external foreign matter (such as dust) , tiny particles) easy to get stuck in the gap, causing the button to not press smoothly 'or allow water to penetrate into the inside of the electronic product, causing poor contact of the board and corrosion of components. Another 'has a Taiwan patent case, such as certificate number No. 1252159, the "button module structure and its production method" invention patent case, and also refer to the seventeenth figure. 'This patent case emphasizes the display body C The gap (leakage portion) E between the button body D and the button body D is reduced to less than 0.01 sec, so that the overall appearance and adhesion of the 1355.6671 is better. Although the gap E between the display body C and the button body D is reduced, the gap may still be stuck with foreign matter for a long time, and even the water may leak into the interior of the electronic product, causing poor contact of the circuit board and corrosion of components. damage. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a thin keyboard structure with no gaps and no pollution between buttons and buttons, so that external dust and tiny particles and water do not enter the keyboard, so that the keyboard surface is always clean. For the purpose of the above, the thin keyboard manufacturing method and the structure thereof comprise: printing inks of different colors on the surface of a transparent colorless hard substrate to form a panel shape and a digital, text, and light transmissive effect; Symbols, non-button styles, dialing and ending patterns, etc., form a plurality of grooves on the die-cut rear panel. Further, the ink of different colors is printed on the surface of the transparent colorless soft substrate to form a lining sheet of the light shielding layer and the reflective layer corresponding to the panel pattern. The completed panel and the inner liner sheet are placed in the mold, the rubber is filled in the mold, and after pressing, the rubber is bonded to the bottom of the inner liner sheet, and the light shielding layer, the reflective layer and the rubber are simultaneously squeezed. For the surface of the panel, to form a keyboard structure with no gap between the button on the panel surface and the button. [Embodiment] The technical content and detailed description of the present invention will now be described as follows: · Please refer to the first and second figures, which are schematic diagrams of the keyboard panel manufacturing process and the front view of the present invention. As shown in the figure: In the figure, a thin keyboard panel manufacturing method is disclosed. First, as in step 100, a transparent colorless hard base 1355.671 material 1 is prepared, and the hard substrate 1 is a PC film plastic material. Step 102, on the surface of the hard substrate, the first layer u is printed with a plurality of panels 2' in black ink. At the same time, the panel 2 presents a hollow number 21 of 〇~9, an English letter 22, various symbols 23, and a non- a navigation type pattern 24, a dial pattern 25, an end pattern 26, etc., = a number 21 of the first layer 11, an English letter 22, and various symbols 23 are printed with a white ink of the second layer 12, so that the number 21, The English letter 22 and the various symbols 23 appear white, and likewise the dial pattern 25 of the second layer 12a is printed in green, so that the dial pattern 25 is in a green state, and the end pattern 26 of the second layer 12b is printed in red ink. Out of red. Please refer to the third figure A and B at the same time. This step 1〇4 is based on the first layer ^ black ink, the second layer 12 white ink, the second layer of his green ink, the second layer! 2b red ink is printed with a protective layer 3 to transparent ink 2; brush 0~9 number 2 English letter 22, various symbol case 24, dial pattern 25 and end pattern 26, etc. on ink =- protective layer 3 ' The protective layer 3 can prevent the black, green and red ink from being damaged. Please also refer to the third picture A, b, and the surface of the l+ interesting lnc〆 is printed by two people. The step 106 is attached to the protective layer 3 | the clothing layer is glued to the glue 4, and the bonding glue 4 is available for 徭娣+ When τ, it can be bonded to the inner sheet 5 . ^ After the post-feeding and chewing processing, the position of each = key is completed, that is, the detail of the panel ^ is completed to distinguish the process and the front view. If you consider the lining of the lining sheet to make the lining of the lining sheet, the method of making the lining of the lining sheet is first, the first substrate is a TPU film plastic material. Please refer to the seventh figure A and B at the same time. The step 2〇2 is to print a first layer of white ink on the surface of the soft substrate 5 to form a non-Navigation Key pattern layer 6. See also the seventh figure A, B, step 204. Attached to the first layer, the second layer of black ink 'to form the light shielding layer 51 and corresponding to: plate % 英文 English letter 22, various symbols 23, non-button type pattern π. No. pattern 25 and end pattern 26 The plurality of hollowed-out light is disposed at the same time. Referring to the seventh figure A and B, the step is to print a third layer of white ink on the first color ink to form a reflective buckle. ... See also the seventh figure A, B. The step 2〇8 is attached to a protective layer 7 and printed with a transparent ink in the inner=white ink protective layer 7'. The protective layer 7 can avoid the black, and the step 8 of the step 8 is applied to the protective layer 7. Light guide:: glue the glue 8 for subsequent processing, please also refer to the eighth figure, step 212 After the completion of the process, the machine splicing and splicing the lining of the lining W sheet 5, that is, completing the insertion, the ten map, is the keyboard structure production process of the present invention, showing: in this figure, The completed elastic layer is combined and formed on the bottom of the inner liner 5. First, in step 300, when the panel 2 is placed inside the mold 1 , 1355.671 is attached to the front surface of the panel 2 with a protective film 5 Step 302, the bonding glue 4 of the panel 2 is combined with the inner sheet 5, and placed in the mold 10. In step 304, rubber (silicone) is filled in the mold 1〇.
