Description

發光鍵盤Illuminated keyboard

本發明關於一種鍵盤,尤指一種發光鍵盤。The invention relates to a keyboard, in particular to an illuminated keyboard.

有些發光鍵盤是利用在鍵帽下方設置的單一導光板,以提供鍵盤單色背光,其光源多由一個或兩個光棒提供,但這類發光鍵盤無法對不同的鍵帽提供不同色的背光,故亦無避免各光源間相互干擾的需要。也有些發光鍵盤是在鍵帽之下設置對應的發光元件,透過控制個別的發光元件以達到對不同的鍵帽提供不同色背光的目的。為了避免各發光元件發射的光線相互干擾,通常對每一個發光元件套上一遮罩件,以拘束發光元件發射的光線僅射向對應的鍵帽,使得各發光元件發射的光線原則上不會相互干擾,也抑制了各元件發射的光線相互混光的現象。然而,對每一個發光元件分別設置遮罩件將使得發光鍵盤的零件數量大幅增加,也增加組裝發光鍵盤的複雜度。Some illuminated keyboards use a single light guide plate placed under the keycap to provide a monochrome backlight of the keyboard. The light source is mostly provided by one or two light bars, but such illuminated keyboards cannot provide backlights of different colors for different keycaps. Therefore, there is no need to avoid mutual interference between the light sources. Some illuminating keyboards are provided with corresponding illuminating elements under the keycaps, and the individual illuminating elements are controlled to achieve different color backlights for different keycaps. In order to prevent the light emitted by the light-emitting elements from interfering with each other, a mask member is usually placed on each of the light-emitting elements to restrain the light emitted by the light-emitting elements from being emitted only to the corresponding key caps, so that the light emitted by each of the light-emitting elements is not in principle Mutual interference also suppresses the phenomenon that light emitted by each element is mixed with each other.

An illuminated keyboard 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an upper cover 10, a lower cover 12, a plurality of keycaps 14, a bottom plate 16, a plurality of lifting mechanisms 18, a dielectric layer 20, and a light emitting module 22, and the upper cover 10 The bottom cover 12 is coupled to receive a plurality of keycaps 14, a bottom plate 16, a plurality of lifting mechanisms 18, a dielectric layer 20, and a light emitting module 22; in FIG. 3, the bottom plate 16, the dielectric layer 20, and the light emitting module 22 are It can be clearly shown that its dimensions in the vertical direction are exaggerated. The bottom plate 16 is disposed under the plurality of keycaps 14. The plurality of lifting mechanisms 18 are disposed between the bottom plate 16 and the plurality of keycaps 14. Each of the lifting mechanisms 18 corresponds to one of the plurality of keycaps 14, Each of the keycaps 14 is movable up and down with respect to the bottom plate 16 via the corresponding lifting mechanism 18. The plurality of keycaps 14 are exposed from a window 102 of the upper cover 10. The dielectric layer 20 is disposed under the bottom plate 16, and the light emitting module 22 includes A circuit board 222 and a plurality of light emitting elements 224 disposed on the upper surface 2222 of the circuit board 222 are disposed under the dielectric layer 20. In practice, the circuit board 222 can be a printed circuit board or a flexible board. In the present embodiment, the lifting mechanism 18 is a scissor-type bracket, and includes two mutually pivoted brackets, a lifting mechanism 18 and a connecting structure 164 disposed on the upper surface 162 of the bottom plate 16 and a bottom surface 142 disposed on the keycap 14. The upper connecting structure 144 (in a key cap 14 of FIG. 2, the hidden outline is shown) is respectively connected, but the invention is not limited thereto. In principle, any mechanism capable of providing relative movement of the keycap 14 relative to the bottom plate 16 can be used as the lifting mechanism of the present invention. Therefore, the lifting mechanism used in the conventional button structure currently available on the market can be applied.

此外,底板16具有複數個第一孔166,每一個第一孔166對應位於該複數個鍵帽14其中之一下方,介質層20具有複數個第二孔202,每一個第一孔166與該複數個第二孔202其中之一導通(亦即孔166、202形成的空間連通)。每一個發光元件224對應設置於該複數個第二孔202其中之一中。每一個發光元件224發出之垂直方向光線(以箭頭表示)可穿過該對應的第一孔166而行進到上方對應的鍵帽14。另外,於本實施例中,第二孔202亦對應該複數個鍵帽14其中之一,第一孔166、第二孔202及鍵帽14為一對一的設置關係,但本發明不以此為限。In addition, the bottom plate 16 has a plurality of first holes 166, each of which is located below one of the plurality of key caps 14, and the dielectric layer 20 has a plurality of second holes 202, each of the first holes 166 and the One of the plurality of second apertures 202 is conductive (ie, the spaces formed by the apertures 166, 202 are in communication). Each of the light emitting elements 224 is correspondingly disposed in one of the plurality of second holes 202. The vertical direction light (indicated by the arrow) emitted by each of the light-emitting elements 224 can travel through the corresponding first aperture 166 to the corresponding upper keycap 14. In addition, in the embodiment, the second hole 202 also corresponds to one of the plurality of key caps 14. The first hole 166, the second hole 202 and the key cap 14 have a one-to-one arrangement relationship, but the present invention does not This is limited.

此外,於本實施例中,底板16為一金屬板沖壓件,故不透光。於實作上,底板16亦得以一塑膠射出件實作,使用不透光的塑料,亦可使塑膠射出件不透光。又,於本實施例中,介質層20可防止光線穿透,亦即介質層20可防止光線進入及/或進入介質層20的光線可被介質層20吸收致使光線不會穿透介質層20,此可透過採用適當的材料或結構而實現。因此,自發光元件224發出之光線僅能經由對應的第二孔202及第一孔166射向對應的鍵帽14,且不會進入其他第二孔202或第一孔166中而影響其他發光元件224發射的光線。同理,每一個發光元件224發射的光線能不受干擾地射向對應的鍵帽14。藉此,每一個鍵帽14接受到的光線係可預測的,換言之,提供給每一個鍵帽14的背光可被精確地控制。In addition, in the embodiment, the bottom plate 16 is a metal plate stamping member, so it is opaque. In practice, the bottom plate 16 can also be realized by a plastic injection piece, and the opaque plastic can also be used to make the plastic injection part opaque. Moreover, in the present embodiment, the dielectric layer 20 prevents light from penetrating, that is, the dielectric layer 20 prevents light from entering and/or entering the dielectric layer 20 from being absorbed by the dielectric layer 20 so that the light does not penetrate the dielectric layer 20. This can be achieved by using appropriate materials or structures. Therefore, the light emitted from the light-emitting element 224 can only be transmitted to the corresponding key cap 14 via the corresponding second hole 202 and the first hole 166, and does not enter the other second hole 202 or the first hole 166 to affect other light. Light emitted by element 224. Similarly, the light emitted by each of the light-emitting elements 224 can be directed to the corresponding keycap 14 without interference. Thereby, the light received by each of the keycaps 14 is predictable, in other words, the backlight provided to each of the keycaps 14 can be precisely controlled.

補充說明的是,於實作上,當介質層20以可吸光材料(例如半透明的PET、PC等)製作時,光線穿過介質層20後的強度衰減至一定程度可視為光線未穿透介質層20。此程度可由實際產品規格或實驗而定,例如假設當光線強度衰減至5%以下時,來自不同發光元件224的光線間之混光不明顯或可忽略,此光線衰減的程度即可視為光線未穿透介質層20。此光線強度衰減的控制可透過介質層20材質或尺寸來控制。另外,當介質層20以反射的機制來防止光線穿透時,於實作上,介質層20可直接以可反射光材料(例如其內散布有反光粉末(例如氧化鋁、氧化銀、硫酸鋇等物質)的片材)製作,或是以任何材料(例如透明的PET、PC等物質)製作的片材並於其表面塗佈反射材料(例氧化鋁、氧化銀、硫酸鋇等物質)。又,於實作上,介質層20亦得以部分反射、部分折射的機制來防止光線穿透,例如介質層20以前述說明例之結合實作。當介質層20以全反射的機制來防止光線穿透或能完全吸收進入其內的光線時,介質層20視為係以不透光材料或結構製作,其實施細節可參閱前述關於以可反射光材料及可吸收光材料製作介質層20之說明。In addition, in practice, when the dielectric layer 20 is made of a light absorbing material (for example, translucent PET, PC, etc.), the intensity of light passing through the dielectric layer 20 is attenuated to a certain extent, and the light is not penetrated. Dielectric layer 20. This degree can be determined by actual product specifications or experiments. For example, if the light intensity is attenuated to less than 5%, the light mixing between the light from different light-emitting elements 224 is not obvious or negligible, and the degree of light attenuation can be regarded as light. The dielectric layer 20 is penetrated. This control of the attenuation of the light intensity can be controlled by the material or size of the dielectric layer 20. In addition, when the dielectric layer 20 is prevented from penetrating by light, in practice, the dielectric layer 20 may directly be a light-reflecting material (for example, a reflective powder (for example, alumina, silver oxide, barium sulfate) is dispersed therein. A sheet made of a material or the like, or a sheet made of any material (for example, a material such as transparent PET or PC) and coated with a reflective material (for example, aluminum oxide, silver oxide, barium sulfate, or the like) on the surface thereof. Moreover, in practice, the dielectric layer 20 is also partially reflective and partially refracted to prevent light from penetrating. For example, the dielectric layer 20 is implemented in combination with the foregoing illustrative examples. When the dielectric layer 20 is protected by a total reflection mechanism to prevent light from penetrating or completely absorbing light entering the dielectric layer 20, the dielectric layer 20 is considered to be made of an opaque material or structure. For details of implementation, reference may be made to the aforementioned Description of the dielectric layer 20 made of a light material and an absorbable light material.

另外,於本實施例中,介質層20封閉(或謂密封)底板16與電路板222之間的間隙(例如介質層20的上表面緊貼底板16的下表面168且介質層20的下表面緊貼電路板222的上表面),且每一個發光元件224均被介質層20所環繞。藉此,發光元件224發出的光線不會經由該間隙進入其他第二孔202內。又,當介質層20以吸光材料製作時,每一個發光元件224發出的水平方向光線(以箭頭表示)欲行進到相鄰的鍵帽14下方時,該水平方向光線將會進入介質層20並被大幅吸收而衰減至可接受的程度,如前段說明。其中,該水平方向光線係指其行進路徑整體朝向水平方向進行,例如圖3中於底板16及電路板222之間多次反射行進的光線亦屬之。In addition, in the present embodiment, the dielectric layer 20 closes (or seals) the gap between the bottom plate 16 and the circuit board 222 (for example, the upper surface of the dielectric layer 20 abuts the lower surface 168 of the bottom plate 16 and the lower surface of the dielectric layer 20 Adhering to the upper surface of the circuit board 222, and each of the light-emitting elements 224 is surrounded by the dielectric layer 20. Thereby, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 224 does not enter the other second holes 202 through the gap. Moreover, when the dielectric layer 20 is made of a light absorbing material, the horizontal light rays (indicated by arrows) emitted by each of the light emitting elements 224 are intended to travel under the adjacent keycaps 14, and the horizontal light rays will enter the dielectric layer 20 and It is greatly absorbed and attenuated to an acceptable level, as explained in the previous paragraph. The horizontal direction light means that the entire traveling path is oriented in a horizontal direction. For example, the light that is reflected and reflected multiple times between the bottom plate 16 and the circuit board 222 in FIG. 3 also belongs to the light.

另外,於本實施例中,第二孔202的輪廓大於對應的第一孔166的輪廓。此結構配置可使發光元件224經由第一孔166射出的光線的強度可較為集中。另外,於本實施例中,發光元件224可為一表面黏著式發光二極體(light-emitting diode)元件,其出光面朝向鍵帽14的底表面142;但本發明不以此為限,例如使用插入式發光二極體,其出光面通常為一半球面。此外,於實作上,發光元件224可包含三個發光晶片,例如紅色、綠色、藍色發光二極體(light-emitting diode);藉此,發光元件224可透過選擇性地控制發光晶片發光,以提供多種色光。又,於實作上,一個第二孔202(或一個第一孔166)可對應多個發光元件224,分別發射不同色光。透過不同色光的混合(亦即選擇性地使一或多個發光元件224同時發光)以提供對應的鍵帽14不同色的背光,增加發光鍵盤1視覺效果的變化性。In addition, in the present embodiment, the contour of the second hole 202 is larger than the contour of the corresponding first hole 166. This structural configuration can concentrate the intensity of the light emitted by the light-emitting element 224 through the first aperture 166. In addition, in this embodiment, the light-emitting element 224 can be a surface-mounted light-emitting diode component, and the light-emitting surface thereof faces the bottom surface 142 of the keycap 14; however, the invention is not limited thereto. For example, using a plug-in light-emitting diode, the light-emitting surface is usually a half sphere. In addition, in practice, the illuminating element 224 can include three illuminating wafers, such as red, green, and blue light-emitting diodes; thereby, the illuminating element 224 can selectively control the illuminating of the illuminating wafer. To provide a variety of shades of light. Moreover, in practice, a second aperture 202 (or a first aperture 166) can correspond to the plurality of illumination elements 224 to respectively emit different colored lights. The variability of the visual effect of the illuminated keyboard 1 is increased by the mixing of different colored lights (ie, selectively causing one or more of the light-emitting elements 224 to simultaneously emit light) to provide a backlight of a different color of the corresponding keycap 14.

此外,於本實施例中,發光鍵盤1還包含一薄膜電路板24及複數個彈性圓突26,設置於發光模組22與該複數個鍵帽14之間(或底板16與該複數個鍵帽14之間)。薄膜電路板24包含複數個開關242(於圖2中,以影線表示其位置)及複數個通孔244,每一個開關242對應位於該複數個鍵帽14其中之一之下,該複數個通孔244供底板16的連接結構164穿過以與對應的升降機構18連接。該複數個彈性圓突26設置於薄膜電路板24與該複數個鍵帽14之間。每一個彈性圓突26對應該複數個開關242其中之一且位於該對應的開關242上。當鍵帽14被按鍵時,該對應的彈性圓突26可被鍵帽14擠壓而觸發該對應的開關242。補充說明的是,於本實施例中,發光鍵盤1可包含一控制模組28(以矩形框簡化表示於圖2中),與薄膜電路板24及發光模組22電連接(其連接細節未予繪示於圖中,以簡化圖面)。於實作上,控制模組28與薄膜電路板24及發光模組22之電連接可透過連接器或直接焊接等方式實施。藉此,發光鍵盤1即透過控制模組28以控制薄膜電路板24及發光模組22之作動並與外部電子裝置通訊。此控制模組之功能及結構得以一般發光鍵盤中負責控制電子組件作動的模組實施,於此不另贅述。於實作上,前述控制模組28可視實際設計而與薄膜電路板24或發光模組22的電路板222整合。In addition, in the embodiment, the illuminated keyboard 1 further includes a thin film circuit board 24 and a plurality of elastic protrusions 26 disposed between the light emitting module 22 and the plurality of keycaps 14 (or the bottom plate 16 and the plurality of keys) Between caps 14). The thin film circuit board 24 includes a plurality of switches 242 (shown in hatching in FIG. 2) and a plurality of through holes 244, each of which is located below one of the plurality of keycaps 14, the plurality of The through hole 244 is passed through the connection structure 164 of the bottom plate 16 to be coupled to the corresponding lifting mechanism 18. The plurality of elastic knobs 26 are disposed between the film circuit board 24 and the plurality of keycaps 14. Each of the resilient knobs 26 corresponds to one of the plurality of switches 242 and is located on the corresponding switch 242. When the keycap 14 is keyed, the corresponding resilient knob 26 can be pressed by the keycap 14 to trigger the corresponding switch 242. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the illuminated keyboard 1 can include a control module 28 (shown in simplified form in a rectangular frame), and is electrically connected to the thin film circuit board 24 and the light emitting module 22 (the connection details are not It is shown in the figure to simplify the drawing). In practice, the electrical connection between the control module 28 and the thin film circuit board 24 and the light emitting module 22 can be implemented by means of a connector or direct soldering. Thereby, the illuminated keyboard 1 passes through the control module 28 to control the operation of the thin film circuit board 24 and the light emitting module 22 and communicate with external electronic devices. The function and structure of the control module can be implemented by a module in the general illuminated keyboard that is responsible for controlling the operation of the electronic component, and will not be further described herein. In practice, the control module 28 can be integrated with the circuit board 24 or the circuit board 222 of the light module 22 according to the actual design.

另外,於本實施例中,薄膜電路板24為一三層結構(以單一結構剖面表示於圖中,以簡化圖面),上、下的結構層相對的表面上形成有電路,連接該複數個開關242,中間的結構層絕緣上下兩層上的電路且於對應開關242處形成開孔,此三個結構層均由可透光的材料製作,例如PET、PC等。開關242及彈性圓突26均位於對應的發光元件224上方。彈性圓突26以透明或半透明(或謂可透光)之材料製作,例如矽橡膠。藉此,發光元件224發出之垂直方向光線可穿過薄膜電路板24及彈性圓突26而到達鍵帽14的底表面142。又,於實作上,鍵帽14可包含一透光部146(於圖3中以虛線框表現出其設置區域),貫穿鍵帽14的底表面142及頂表面148,使得前述光線能再經由透光部146自頂表面148射出鍵帽14,進而產生光學指示效果,例如透光部146於頂表面148具有一字母輪廓(以虛線表示於圖1中)。In addition, in the embodiment, the thin film circuit board 24 is a three-layer structure (shown in a single structural cross section in the figure to simplify the drawing), and the opposite surfaces of the upper and lower structural layers are formed with circuits for connecting the plural The switch 242 has an intermediate structure layer that insulates the upper and lower layers of the circuit and forms openings at the corresponding switch 242. The three structural layers are all made of a light transmissive material, such as PET, PC, or the like. Both the switch 242 and the resilient knob 26 are located above the corresponding light emitting element 224. The elastic knob 26 is made of a transparent or translucent (or light transmissive) material such as silicone rubber. Thereby, the vertical direction light emitted by the light-emitting element 224 can pass through the thin film circuit board 24 and the elastic round 26 to reach the bottom surface 142 of the keycap 14. Moreover, in practice, the keycap 14 can include a light transmitting portion 146 (showing its arrangement area in a dashed box in FIG. 3), extending through the bottom surface 142 and the top surface 148 of the keycap 14, so that the light can be further The keycap 14 is ejected from the top surface 148 via the light transmissive portion 146, thereby producing an optical indicating effect, such as the light transmissive portion 146 having a letter outline on the top surface 148 (shown in phantom in Figure 1).

另外,於本實施例中,雖將底板16正對發光元件224之通孔定義為第一孔166,但如圖2所示,基於第二孔202的開孔範圍,底板16上的其他通孔事實上亦能容許光線通過而抵達對應的鍵帽14,故亦能作為第一孔。進一步說明如下。請亦參閱圖4及圖5。圖4為圖1中發光鍵盤沿線Y-Y之剖面圖,為較清楚顯示各元件間之配置,故僅顯示一個按鍵結構的範圍。圖5為圖2中薄膜電路板24、底板16、介質層20及發光模組22之局部放大圖,且僅選擇顯示兩個相鄰的按鍵結構,其選擇僅為配合圖4說明,本發明不以此為限。底板16對應兩個鍵帽14分別具有一第一組孔洞176a與一第三組孔洞176b,第一組孔洞176a與第三組孔洞176b分別對應位於該兩個鍵帽14其中之一下方,介質層20對應兩個鍵帽14分別具有一第二孔與一第四孔(即前文中之孔202),第一組孔洞176a與該第二孔(即對應的孔202)導通,第三組孔洞176b與該第四孔(即對應的孔202)導通。發光模組22對應兩個鍵帽14分別包含一第一發光元件與一第二發光元件(即前文中之發光元件224),其中該第一發光元件設置於該第二孔中,該第二發光元件設置於該第四孔中(即該兩個發光元件224對應設置於該兩個孔202中)。於本實施例中,第一組孔洞176a與第三組孔洞176b結構相同,故下文以第一組孔洞176a為例說明,第三組孔洞176b可直接參照,不另贅述。第一組孔洞176a包含一中央孔洞(即前文中之孔166)、四個開孔166a(為了形成連接結構164而形成,例如金屬板件沖壓成形連接結構164而形成的開孔)及兩個通孔166b;其中,該中央孔洞係位於對應的彈性圓突26正下方,對應的發光元件224(即該第一發光元件)係對正該中央孔洞。如圖4所示,該第一發光元件(即圖中發光元件224)發出之垂直方向光線可穿過該第二孔(即圖中孔202)與第一組孔洞176a而行進到上方對應的鍵帽14,該第一發光元件發出之水平方向光線無法穿過介質層20而行進到第三組孔洞176b(可併參閱圖3)。同理,該第二發光元件(對應第三組孔洞176b的發光元件224)發出之垂直方向光線可穿過該第四孔(對應第三組孔洞176b的孔202)與第三組孔洞176b而行進到上方對應的鍵帽14,該第二發光元件發出之水平方向光線無法穿過介質層20而行進到第一組孔洞176a(可併參閱圖3)。此外,如圖4所示,當該第一發光元件發出之垂直方向光線穿過對應的彈性圓突26時,該垂直方向光線被對應的彈性圓突26所擴散。In addition, in the embodiment, although the through hole of the bottom plate 16 facing the light emitting element 224 is defined as the first hole 166, as shown in FIG. 2, based on the opening range of the second hole 202, other passages on the bottom plate 16 are provided. The aperture can also allow light to pass through to the corresponding keycap 14, so it can also serve as the first aperture. Further explanation is as follows. Please also refer to Figures 4 and 5. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the illuminated keyboard of FIG. 1 along line Y-Y. To clearly show the arrangement between the components, only the range of one button structure is displayed. 5 is a partial enlarged view of the thin film circuit board 24, the bottom plate 16, the dielectric layer 20, and the light emitting module 22 of FIG. 2, and only two adjacent key structures are selected for selection, and the selection is only described with reference to FIG. Not limited to this. The bottom plate 16 has a first set of holes 176a and a third set of holes 176b corresponding to the two key caps 14. The first set of holes 176a and the third set of holes 176b are respectively located below one of the two key caps 14, respectively. The layer 20 corresponding to the two key caps 14 respectively has a second hole and a fourth hole (ie, the hole 202 in the foregoing), and the first group of holes 176a and the second hole (ie, the corresponding hole 202) are electrically connected, the third group The hole 176b is electrically connected to the fourth hole (ie, the corresponding hole 202). The two light-emitting modules 22 respectively include a first light-emitting element and a second light-emitting element (ie, the light-emitting element 224 in the foregoing), wherein the first light-emitting element is disposed in the second hole, the second The light emitting element is disposed in the fourth hole (ie, the two light emitting elements 224 are correspondingly disposed in the two holes 202). In the present embodiment, the first group of holes 176a and the third group of holes 176b have the same structure. Therefore, the first group of holes 176a will be exemplified below, and the third group of holes 176b may be directly referred to, and will not be further described. The first set of holes 176a includes a central hole (i.e., the hole 166 in the foregoing), four openings 166a (formed to form the joint structure 164, such as an opening formed by sheet metal forming a joint 164), and two The through hole 166b; wherein the central hole is located directly below the corresponding elastic protrusion 26, and the corresponding light emitting element 224 (ie, the first light emitting element) is aligned with the central hole. As shown in FIG. 4, the vertical direction light emitted by the first light-emitting element (ie, the light-emitting element 224 in the figure) can pass through the second hole (ie, the hole 202 in the figure) and the first group of holes 176a to advance to the upper side. The key cap 14 can not travel through the dielectric layer 20 to the third group of holes 176b (see FIG. 3). Similarly, the light emitted by the second light-emitting element (corresponding to the light-emitting element 224 of the third group of holes 176b) can pass through the fourth hole (corresponding to the hole 202 of the third group of holes 176b) and the third group of holes 176b. Advancing to the corresponding keycap 14 above, the horizontal ray emitted by the second illuminating element cannot pass through the dielectric layer 20 and travel to the first set of holes 176a (see also FIG. 3). In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, when the vertical direction light emitted by the first light-emitting element passes through the corresponding elastic protrusion 26, the vertical direction light is diffused by the corresponding elastic knob 26.

另外,由於發光元件224設置於孔202中,故原則上,將介質層20的孔202與底板16及電路板222密合(或貼合)即可達到有效防止光線進入底板16與電路板222間之間隙。請併參閱圖6。例如,該第二孔及該第四孔(即孔202)分別具有一週緣202a,介質層20的上表面204沿著週緣202a塗佈一環形的第一膠層206(於圖5中均以影線表示其塗佈範圍,且以粗線段表示於圖6中),介質層20的下表面208沿著週緣202a塗佈一環形的第二膠層210(其塗佈範圍雖未顯示於圖5中,但與第一膠層206的塗佈範圍對稱,且以粗線段表示於圖6中)。另外,事實上,介質層20具有厚度,故孔202具有封閉的側壁及位於介質層20的上表面204及下表面208的開口邊緣。相對於發光鍵盤1整體尺寸,介質層20相當薄,故於發光鍵盤1整體的尺度下,孔202即相當於一開孔邊緣。因此,於解讀本文時,前述週緣202a包含於介質層20的上表面204及下表面208的開口邊緣;就簡單解讀而言,前述週緣202a可視為孔202的輪廓。介質層20的上表面204於週緣202a處藉由第一膠層206而黏合於底板16的下表面168,介質層20於週緣202a處藉由第二膠層210而黏合於電路板222的上表面2222,使得介質層20於週緣202a處封閉底板16與電路板222之間的間隙,故光線自發光元件224發射後,不會自孔202與底板16間進入介質層20與底板16之間,也不會自孔202與電路板222間進入介質層20與電路板222之間。此外,於實作上,第一膠層206及第二膠層210亦採用不透光的材料。In addition, since the light-emitting element 224 is disposed in the hole 202, in principle, the hole 202 of the dielectric layer 20 is closely adhered (or bonded) to the bottom plate 16 and the circuit board 222 to effectively prevent light from entering the bottom plate 16 and the circuit board 222. The gap between the two. Please also refer to Figure 6. For example, the second hole and the fourth hole (ie, the hole 202) respectively have a peripheral edge 202a, and the upper surface 204 of the dielectric layer 20 is coated with an annular first adhesive layer 206 along the peripheral edge 202a (both in FIG. 5 The hatching indicates its coating range, and is indicated by a thick line segment in FIG. 6), and the lower surface 208 of the dielectric layer 20 is coated with a circular second adhesive layer 210 along the peripheral edge 202a (the coating range is not shown in the figure). 5, but symmetric with the coating range of the first adhesive layer 206, and shown in thick line segments in FIG. 6). Additionally, in fact, dielectric layer 20 has a thickness such that aperture 202 has closed sidewalls and open edges at upper surface 204 and lower surface 208 of dielectric layer 20. The dielectric layer 20 is relatively thin relative to the overall size of the illuminated keyboard 1, so that the aperture 202 corresponds to an aperture edge at the overall scale of the illuminated keyboard 1. Thus, as explained herein, the aforementioned peripheral edge 202a is included in the open edge of the upper surface 204 and the lower surface 208 of the dielectric layer 20; for simplicity of explanation, the aforementioned peripheral edge 202a can be considered as the contour of the aperture 202. The upper surface 204 of the dielectric layer 20 is adhered to the lower surface 168 of the bottom plate 16 by the first adhesive layer 206 at the peripheral edge 202a. The dielectric layer 20 is adhered to the circuit board 222 by the second adhesive layer 210 at the peripheral edge 202a. The surface 2222 is such that the dielectric layer 20 closes the gap between the bottom plate 16 and the circuit board 222 at the peripheral edge 202a. Therefore, the light does not enter between the dielectric layer 20 and the bottom plate 16 from the hole 202 and the bottom plate 16 after being emitted from the light-emitting element 224. It also does not enter between the dielectric layer 20 and the circuit board 222 from between the hole 202 and the circuit board 222. In addition, in practice, the first adhesive layer 206 and the second adhesive layer 210 are also made of an opaque material.

另外,於前述各實施例中,發光元件224整個均位於第二孔202中,但本發明不以此為限。如圖7所示,於另一實施例中,發光元件224除位於第二孔202中外,其一部分亦伸入該對應的第一孔166(即中央孔洞)中,更易使大部分自發光元件224發射的光線均朝向鍵帽14行進,進而提昇背光強度。 以上所述僅為本發明之較佳實施例,凡依本發明申請專利範圍所做之均等變化與修飾,皆應屬本發明之涵蓋範圍。In addition, in the foregoing embodiments, the light-emitting elements 224 are all located in the second hole 202, but the invention is not limited thereto. As shown in FIG. 7, in another embodiment, in addition to being located in the second hole 202, a portion of the light-emitting element 224 also extends into the corresponding first hole 166 (ie, the central hole), which makes it easier to make most of the self-luminous elements. The light emitted by 224 all travels toward the keycap 14, thereby increasing the intensity of the backlight. The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all changes and modifications made to the scope of the present invention should be within the scope of the present invention.
