Description of the Invention [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an electronic device, such as a laptop personal computer, and an electronic component mounted to an electronic device. [Prior Art] It is required to have an electronic device such as a knee. The upper type PC is provided with a button such as a power switch, and does not hinder the reduction in size and thickness, and I improves the design of the electronic device. In the technique disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2005-128805 (paragraph 0135, FIG. 3, 35, etc.) (hereinafter, referred to as Patent Document 1), a power switch is provided to one end of the hinge portion. The hinge portion rotatably connects a housing provided with a keyboard and the like, and a housing that provides a display portion to each other. When the power is turned on, the power switch emits light by, for example, a light-emitting element, which makes it easy to visually recognize the state in which the power is turned on. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, the power-on relationship is exposed at one end of the hinge. This causes a user to accidentally touch the power switch and the power source is inadvertently turned off. Accordingly, a light-shielding portion having a convex portion that surrounds the power switch and protrudes in comparison with the pressing surface of the power switch can be provided. From a design standpoint, the light shielding portion is primarily subjected to a panel processing or the like. However, when the light shielding portion is provided, 'in some cases, operation-5-1361968, the user facing the electronic device at the same time can hardly recognize the light emitted by the power switch because the light shielding portion is shielded. Light. Because of the foregoing, it is desirable to provide an electronic device and an electronic component that allows the electronic device to be operated while the user facing it recognizes the light emission state of a button without damaging its design. According to an embodiment of the present invention, an electronic device is provided, comprising an electronic device body, a button, an outer circumferential light emitting assembly, a substrate, a holding member, a supporting member, and a surrounding member. The electronic device body includes a button placement portion on a lateral side thereof. The button has a generally cylindrical shape and is disposed on the button placement portion and is made of a material that causes light to pass therethrough. The button includes a pressing surface on the one lateral side and a light incident surface on the surface side opposite to the one lateral side. The outer circumferential light-emitting assembly has a substantially cylindrical shape and is disposed at a position opposite to a light incident surface of the button and is made of a material that scatters light. The outer circumferential lighting assembly includes an outer circumferential surface that is exposed to the outer side. The substrate is disposed between the button and the outer circumferential light-emitting component, and includes a first surface on which the first light-emitting element and a switching element are mounted, and a second surface on which the second light-emitting element is mounted. The first illuminating element emits light toward the light incident surface of the button. The switching element is switched by pressing. The second illuminating element emits light toward the outer circumferential illuminating assembly. The holding member holds the button and is disposed between the button and the substrate and is made of a material that scatters light. The holding member includes a protruding portion that is in contact with the switching element at a position opposite to the switching element. Elasticity of the support member

The ring holding member and the supporting member are compared with the pressing surface to stop the light passing therethrough in the specific embodiment, and further, the light can be operated by the outer circumference according to the electronic device status. The outer circumferential surface of the outer circumferential electronic device body, that is, the outer circumferential surface having a predetermined member is exposed, and the sub-device is simultaneously facing the use thereof. Further, the holding member is pressed by the button by the scattered wire. The internal knot is not visible on the surface pressed surface. The first light emitting element is mounted on the substrate. Therefore, an improvement in the accuracy of the connection can be achieved on the area where the first illuminating element can be applied and over the area above the second mandrel. The surrounding member surrounds the button, the substrate, and the surrounding member includes a protruding portion that is protruded and is made of a protrusion. Light can be radiated from the surface of the button. The outer circumferential surface of the light emitting component is radiated. The user facing the user can confirm that the outer circumferential surface of the light-emitting component is exposed by the button while the surrounding member is intervening at its distance. Therefore, the outer circumferential light-emitting group allows the light-emitting system to be easily confirmed by the operator and prevents the design from being damaged. Made of light-emitting materials. According to this, the light is uniformly radiated, and the user passes through the configuration. Therefore, the design becomes significantly more desirable for the second illuminating element, and the switching element is reduced by the number of the components and the yoke is disposed at a central axis of the button, the optical element can be placed at the button With this configuration, since the first light-emitting element is disposed substantially on the area on the central axis of the button, the light system is uniformly radiated by the pressing surface of the button. Further, since the second light-emitting element is disposed on a region above the central axis 1361968 of the button, the upper region strongly radiates light on the outer circumferential surface of the outer circumferential light-emitting assembly. The electronic device is operated while the user facing it is easily visible to the upper area, and the user can hardly see a lower area. Accordingly, the illumination state can be reliably confirmed by the user operating the electronic device while facing the user with a small amount of light, i.e., with less power consumption. The outer circumferential light-emitting assembly may include a concave portion having a tapered surface on an opposite side opposite to a side on which the substrate is disposed, by reflecting the concave portion having the tapered shape Light to the outer circumferential surface of the outer circumferential light-emitting assembly is reinforced. Therefore, the illuminating state can be reliably confirmed by the user who operates the electronic device while facing the user with a small amount of light, that is, with less power consumption. The electronic device may further include a light reflecting layer disposed on a surface of the outer circumferential light emitting component, the surface of the outer circumferential light emitting component being opposite to a side on which the substrate is disposed.
I 以此結構，光被防止由該相反側面及該電子設備主體 側面間之間隙藉由該光線反射層漏出，該相反側面係與該 外部圓周發光組件的基板上之側面相反。其結果是，對於 該使用者其顯露一軸線係設在其內側，這改善該設計。 該外部圓周發光組件、該固持構件、及該支撐構件可 爲具有整體的結構，且該支撐構件可包括一固持該基板之 固持部份。 以此結構，該等零組件的數目中之減少、附接準確性 IS1 -8- 1361968 之改善、及附接工作之製程的數目中之減少能被實現》 該電子設備可另包括一擴散薄片，其設置於該按鈕及 該固持構件之間。 以此結構，光係由該按鈕之壓按表面均勻地放射，且 該使用者經過該壓按表面看不見該內部結構。據此，該設 計變得顯著想要的。 可設置該基板，以致該第一發光元件及該固持構件間 之第一距離係比該第二發光元件及該外部圓周發光組件間 之第二距離較短。 以此結構，該第二結構被設定爲長的，以增加抵達該 外部圓周發光組件之外部圓周表面的光量，因此光線可由 該外部圓周發光組件之外部圓周表面更強烈地放射。如此 ’該發光狀態能以較小光量、亦即以更少之耗電量藉由操 作該電子設備同時面朝它之使用者可靠地確認。 該電子設備主體可包括第一殼體、第二殼體、及一具 有圓柱形之形狀的鉸接部，該第一殼體具有在其上提供一 操作部份之第一表面，該第二殼體具有能夠面向該第一表 面與在其上提供一顯示部份之第二表面，該鉸接部在該電 子設備主體之背面上可旋轉地互相連接該第一殼體及該第 二殼體，該鉸接部係在其一端部上設有該按鈕放置部份。 以此結構，由該壓按表面及該發光部份之外部圓周表 面放射光線之按鈕被設置在該圓柱形鉸接部之一端部上， 藉此進一步改善該設計。 根據另一具體實施例’提供有一電子組件。該電子組In this configuration, light is prevented from leaking through the light reflecting layer from the gap between the opposite side and the side surface of the main body of the electronic device, the opposite side being opposite to the side on the substrate of the outer circumferential light emitting unit. As a result, the user is exposed to an inner side of the axis, which improves the design. The outer circumferential light-emitting assembly, the holding member, and the support member may have an integral structure, and the support member may include a holding portion that holds the substrate. With this configuration, the reduction in the number of such components, the improvement in attachment accuracy IS1-8-1361968, and the reduction in the number of processes for attaching work can be achieved. The electronic device can further include a diffusion sheet. It is disposed between the button and the holding member. With this configuration, the light system is uniformly radiated by the pressing surface of the button, and the user cannot see the internal structure through the pressing surface. Accordingly, the design became significantly desired. The substrate may be disposed such that a first distance between the first light emitting element and the holding member is shorter than a second distance between the second light emitting element and the outer circumferential light emitting component. With this configuration, the second structure is set to be long to increase the amount of light reaching the outer circumferential surface of the outer circumferential light-emitting assembly, so that the light can be more strongly radiated from the outer circumferential surface of the outer circumferential light-emitting assembly. Thus, the illumination state can be reliably confirmed by the user operating the electronic device while facing the user with a small amount of light, i.e., with less power consumption. The electronic device body may include a first housing, a second housing, and a hinge having a cylindrical shape, the first housing having a first surface on which an operating portion is provided, the second housing The body has a second surface facing the first surface and a display portion thereon, the hinge portion rotatably interconnecting the first housing and the second housing on a back surface of the electronic device body, The hinge portion is provided with the button placement portion at one end portion thereof. With this configuration, a button for radiating light from the pressing surface and the outer circumferential surface of the light-emitting portion is provided on one end portion of the cylindrical hinge portion, thereby further improving the design. An electronic component is provided in accordance with another embodiment. The electronic group

The button has a generally cylindrical shape and is made of a material that causes light to pass therethrough. The button includes a pressing surface on one side and a light incident surface on the other side. The outer circumferential light-emitting assembly has a substantially cylindrical shape and is disposed at a position opposite to a light incident surface of the button, and is made of a material that scatters light, and the outer circumferential light-emitting assembly includes an exposed outer side The outer circumferential surface. The substrate is disposed between the button and the outer circumferential light emitting component, and includes a first surface on which the first light emitting element and a switching element are mounted, and a second surface on which the second light emitting element is mounted. The first light-emitting element emits light toward a light incident surface of the button, the switching element is switched by being pressed, and the second light-emitting element emits light toward the outer circumferential light-emitting assembly. The holding member holds the button and is disposed between the button and the substrate and is made of a material that scatters light. The holding member includes a protruding portion capable of coming into contact with the switching element at a position opposite to the switching element. The support member elastically supports the holding member. The surround member surrounds the button, the substrate, the retaining member, and the support member. The wrap member includes a projection that protrudes when compared to the pressing surface and is made of a material that prevents light from passing therethrough. In this particular embodiment, light can be emitted by the pressing surface of the button. Further, light can be radiated from the outer circumferential surface of the outer circumferential light-emitting assembly. According to this, the user who operates the electronic device while facing it can confirm the light-emitting state of the button. The outer circumferential surface of the outer circumferential light-emitting assembly is exposed by the storm tsi -10- 1361968, and the surrounding member is interposed therebetween, that is, in advance, the outer circumferential surface of the outer circumferential light-emitting component is easily operated by the electronic system. The device faces it at the same time and prevents the design from being damaged. Further, the holding member is made of a material. Accordingly, the light is pressed by the button, and the user does not see the interior through the pressing surface. This design becomes significantly desired. The first light emitting element, the member, and the switching element are mounted on the substrate. Therefore, the reduction in the number of pieces and the improvement in the attachment accuracy. The first illuminating element can be disposed substantially on the field of the button, and the second illuminating element can be disposed on the area of the button. The structure is because the first illuminating element is on a substantially central axis. The light system is pressed by the button. Further, since the second light emitting element is disposed on the upper region, the upper region strongly emits light in the outer circumferential circumferential surface. The user operating the electronic device can easily see the upper region, and the lower portion is used, and the electronic component is mounted on the electronic device to enable the electronic device to be used in a small amount of light, that is, to consume less The user facing it reliably confirms that the outer circumferential light-emitting assembly can have a concave portion on the opposite side of the upper surface, the opposite side being spaced from the base. It is exposed so that the radiation user can confirm that the structure is uniformly radiated from the surface of the scattered light. Therefore, the second illuminating element can realize the area on the center axis of the zero group. The center axis of the button is uniformly placed on the surface of the button, and the outer surface of the light assembly is almost invisible to the outside. According to this, the electric power is operated by the cymbal including a side having a tapered plate -11 - 1361968, and the light reflected by the concave portion having the tapered shape toward the outer circumferential surface of the outer circumferential light-emitting assembly is strengthen. Therefore, the illuminating state can be reliably confirmed by the user who operates the electronic device while facing the user with a small amount of light, that is, with less power consumption. The electronic device can further include a light reflecting layer disposed on a surface of the outer circumferential light emitting component, the surface of the outer circumferential light emitting component being opposite the side on which the substrate is disposed. With this configuration, light is prevented from leaking from the gap between the opposite side and the side surface of the main body of the electronic device by the light reflecting layer, which is opposite to the side surface of the substrate of the outer circumferential light emitting unit. As a result, the user is exposed to an inner side of the axis, which improves the design. The outer circumferential light-emitting assembly, the holding member, and the support member may have an integral structure, and the support member may include a holding portion that holds the substrate. With this configuration, a reduction in the number of such components, an improvement in attachment accuracy, and a reduction in the number of processes for attaching work can be achieved. The electronic device can further include a diffusion sheet disposed between the button and the holding member. With this configuration, the light system is uniformly radiated by the pressing surface of the button, and the user cannot see the internal structure through the pressing surface. Accordingly, the design became significantly desired. The substrate may be disposed such that a first distance between the first light emitting element and the holding member is shorter than a second distance between the second light emitting element and the outer circumferential light emitting component.

The distance between the outer surfaces 70 of the light-emitting portions 83 of the light-emitting elements 83 is set to a longer distance L2 of -L1. A wiring (the wiring drawn from the substrate 17 is connected to the main portion 3 of the electronic device 1 under the structure of the main body portion 3 of the electronic device 1). Figure 11 is a block diagram showing the system 90 of the electronic device 1 including the substrate 17, -91, and a system controller 92. The substrate 17 is provided with the above-mentioned mounting substrate 80, and the light-emitting elements 8 2 and 83, a switch controller 94, a stomach path 95, a driver 96, and a driver 97 are mounted on the Ray 80. on. The power circuit 91 is generated by a commercial AC power source and from a DC power source, and DC power is used for the electronic device 1. The system controller 92 controls the electronic device 1; when a system start command is controlled by the switch The controller 94 inputs Ε controller 92 performs a process for starting the system. Again; controller 92 manages the state of the system and controls the state of the system (the system is on/off/standby). The switch controller 94 outputs a binary signal to the power switch circuit 95 based on, for example, control from the system. When: the axis is at Ζ. The outer circumference is not shown by the distance. I. (The structure of the power supply circuit is not shown in Figure 1. The source switch electrically mounts the substrate in a battery. For example, The system, the system 94 informs the guest 92 that the state system -23-1361968 is turned on (on), the switch controller 94 outputs "1" to the power switch circuit 95, and when the state is, for example, standby, the output "〇" to the power switch circuit 95. The power switch circuit 95 outputs a binary signal to the driver 96 and the driver 97 based on the binary signal from the switch controller 94. Based on the signal from the power switch circuit 95, the The driver 96 supplies/cuts a DC power source generated in the power source circuit 91 with respect to the light-emitting element 82. Based on a signal from the power source switch circuit 95, the driver 97 supplies/cuts the power source circuit 9 with respect to the light-emitting element 83. The DC power source generated in Fig. 12. Fig. 12 is a diagram showing the optical path of the light emitted by each of the light-emitting elements 82 and 83. For example, when the user presses the power switch When the button 13 of the element 10 is turned on, the system controller 92 causes the light-emitting elements 82 and 83 to emit light. The light emitted by the light-emitting element 82 is uniformly guided by the button holding portion 61 of the support member 16, and by The diffusion plate (diffusion sheet) 14 is uniformly diffused. Light diffused by the diffusion plate (diffusion sheet) 14 enters the transparent button 13 through the bottom surface (light incident surface) 43, passes through the button 13, and causes The button is moved away from the button by the pressing surface 42. Therefore, the circular surface radiation of the light is applied by the pressing surface 42 of the button 。. At this time, since the light-emitting element 82 is substantially disposed at the central axis K of the button 13. In the upper region, the pressing surface 42 of the button 13 uniformly emits light. As a result, the user can confirm the state of the electronic device 1 (the system is turned on or on standby). m -24- 1361968 The light emitted by the element 83 is diffused by the milk-white supporting member 16 into the outer circumferential light-emitting portion 63, and is externally surface 70 of the tapered concave portion 71 of the outer circumferential light-emitting portion 63. Light The reflecting surface 72 is reflected in an annular shape toward the outer circumferential surface 69». As a result, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 83 is diffused in a circular form in an annular direction, which is indicated by the arrow R of FIG. Indicating, and perpendicular to the central axis K of the button 13, and radiated by the outer circumferential surface 69 in an annular form. Light rays having entered the outer circumferential light-emitting portion 63 do not pass through the light reflecting layer there. One side of the side 72 is opposite to the outer circumferential light-emitting portion 63. At this time, the light-emitting element 83 is disposed on a region above the central axis K of the button 13 (by the central axis K in Fig. 4 The area shifted upward in the Z direction). Therefore, the light radiated from the upper side of the annular outer circumferential surface 69 of the outer circumferential light-emitting portion 63 provides a higher luminance than the light radiated from the lower side thereof. Thus, when the user uses the electronic device 1 in the open state, as shown in Fig. 1, the upper portion of the outer circumferential surface 61 of the outer circumferential light-emitting portion 63 emits light more brightly. As described above, according to this embodiment, the power switch unit 1 includes a button 13 having the pressing surface 42, a substrate 17 on which the light-emitting elements 82 and 83 are mounted, and exposed to the outside while One side surface of the main body portion 3 of the electronic device 1 sandwiches the outer circumferential light-emitting portion 63 of the circumferential portion 15. Therefore, the surface of the light can be radiated by the pressing surface 42 of the button 13. Further, the light may be radiated in an annular form by the outer circumferential surface 69 of the outer circumferential light-emitting portion 63. According to this, the operation of the electronic device 1 at the same time facing the user can confirm the light-emitting state of the button 13 and the outer circumferential surface 69 of the outer circumferential light-emitting portion 63. At this time, the user who faces the electronic device 1 while facing it can easily inspect the outer circumferential surface 69 of the outer circumferential light-emitting portion 63 and prevent the design from being damaged. Further, the holding portion 61 is composed of The light-emitting white light-emitting material is formed, and the diffusion plate (diffusion sheet) 14 is provided on the bottom surface 43 of the button 13. Therefore, the light system is uniformly radiated by the pressing of the button 13 on the surface 42, and the user does not see the internal structure through the pressing surface 42. As a result, a design that is significantly desired can be obtained. Further, the electric ring 12 is subjected to the plating, and the inclined surface 23 of the plating ring 12 and the inclined surface 33 of the fixing ring 11 are formed to be smoothly connected, which provides an excellent design. The light-emitting elements 82 and 83 and the switching element 81 are mounted on the substrate 17. The button holding portion 61, the elastic portion 62, the outer circumferential light-emitting portion 63, and the like are integrally form. As a result, a reduction in the number of components, an improvement in attachment accuracy, and a reduction in manufacturing cost and size can be achieved. In contrast, in the related art, in order to radiate light in two opposite directions, the two substrates, the two light guiding/diffusing components, and the five components of the elastic structure pressed by the user are approximated. Can be needed. In this case, from the standpoint of a structure, when the five components are disposed in the casing, the sufficient strength of the components is ensured, and the components for fixing the components to the device are used. Space, the capacity of the structure itself increases. Secondly, from the standpoint of manufacturing, because the structure consisting of the components of the five IS 1 -26-1361968 components is provided in the related art, it is difficult to be accurate from the viewpoint of the dimensional tolerance and the tolerance of the components. The structure is assembled. In addition, it is difficult to manufacture the structure, and there is no difference in commercial production, and it is difficult to cause the light guiding components to uniformly emit light. Furthermore, a problem can occur here in which one button does not operate due to interference between the button and the housing, and the interference is caused by the tolerance described above. Moreover, from the standpoint of cost, the increase in the number of such components and the number of molds used to make the component increases the cost. Moreover, an increase in the number of assembly work in a production line increases the cost. The outer surface 7 of the outer circumferential light-emitting portion 63 of the support member 16 includes the tapered concave portion 71. The light reflecting layer 72 is provided on the outer surface 70. With this configuration, the light having entered the outer circumferential light-emitting portion 63 by the light-emitting element 83 is reflected in a direction perpendicular to the central axis (optical axis) K, which can cause the outer circumferential light-emitting portion 63 to be The outer circumferential surface 69 emits light in an annular form. The light reflecting layer 72 is provided on the outer surface 70 of the outer circumferential light emitting portion 63. With this configuration, a gap is formed between the outer surface 70 of the outer circumferential light-emitting portion 63 and the connecting portion 4a, and the light reflecting layer 72 prevents light from leaking through the gap. As a result, it is intended for the user's to appear to provide an axis on the inside thereof to improve the design. The substrate 17 is disposed as shown in FIG. 4 such that the distance L 1 between the light-emitting element 82 and the diffusion plate (diffusion sheet) 14 is greater than that of the light-emitting element 83 and the outer circumferential light-emitting portion 63. The distance between the outer surface 70) is shorter than L2 -27- 1361968. With this configuration, by increasing the distance L2 and increasing the amount of light reaching the outer circumferential surface 69 of the outer circumferential light-emitting portion 63, light can be more strongly radiated from the outer circumferential surface 69 of the outer circumferential light-emitting portion 63. For example, when the power source is turned on, the electronic device 1 causes the light-emitting element 82 to indicate green light, or the light-emitting element 8 3 blinks red in a power-saving and standby state, as the user can confirm the result of those states. (orange) light. In the connecting portion 4b of the hinge portion 4 which was once a wasted space, the power switch unit 10 is disposed, thereby generating the degree of freedom for the configuration of the main body portion 3 and the components of the display portion 2. . It is advantageous to reduce the thickness of the main body portion 3 and the display portion 2 by conceiving a method of setting those components. Further, the power switch unit 1 is disposed at a position away from the keyboard unit 8 and surrounds the button 13 such that the outer circumference of the button 13 protrudes. According to this, it is possible to prevent a state in which the power source is accidentally turned off during use. As shown in Fig. 1, the main body side casing 7 includes a sloped slope 7a so as to enter the lower side of the joint portion 4b. With this configuration, the light radiated from the outer circumferential light-emitting portion 63 is reflected by the inclined surface 7a, and therefore the user can easily visually confirm the light-emitting state of the outer circumferential light-emitting portion 63 from the front surface. Further, the slope 7a has a smooth streamlined shape which provides the excellent design. 0 The present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments. The present invention can be variously modified within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. The scope of execution of this modification is within the technical scope of the present invention. m -28-1361968 In the above specific embodiment, the example is described, wherein the present invention is applied to the laptop PC but the invention is not limited thereto. The invention can be applied to, for example, another electronic device provided with a power switch. In the above specific embodiment, the example is described, wherein the present invention is applied to the push-button power switch unit 1 〇, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The invention can be applied, for example, to a rotary button. Examples of the rotary button may include an operation button of a remote controller, a wiper of a car, or a knob of an electronic appliance. In the above specific embodiment, the substrate holding portion 65 of the support member 16 holds the substrate 17, and the substrate is sandwiched by the surface 84 and the surface 85, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Alternatively, the support member 16 may be provided with a holding portion which is held by the side surfaces of the substrate 17 and the light-emitting element 83 is disposed at the central axis K of the button 13. On the upper area (the area shifted upward by the central axis K in Fig. 4 in the Z direction). The position of the light-emitting element 83 is not limited to this. Alternatively, for example, on a side of the button axis 13 that is closer to the user, the light-emitting elements 83 can be mounted on the mounting substrate 80. With this configuration, the light ray on the outer circumferential surface 69 of the outer peripheral light-emitting portion 63 is radiated more strongly from a portion closer to the upper portion of the user. Operating the electronic device while the user facing it allows for a brighter emission of light closer to the upper portion of the user.
