Description
本發明係關於一種薄型按鍵,並且特別是關於以基板做為薄膜開關層的隔離層的薄型按鍵。The present invention relates to a thin key, and in particular to a thin key with a substrate as the isolation layer of the membrane switch layer.
鍵盤已為市面上常見的輸入周邊裝置。先前技術的鍵盤的按鍵的皆包含底板以及薄膜開關電路層。先前技術的薄膜電路層包含薄膜開關層包含上電路薄膜、隔離層以及下電路薄膜。隔離層係設置於上電路薄膜與下電路薄膜之間,以隔開上電路薄膜的上開關接點與下電路薄膜的下開關接點。因此,先前技術的按鍵的厚度必定受限其底板的厚度加上薄膜開關電路層的厚度。The keyboard has become a common input peripheral device in the market. The keys of the keyboards of the prior art all include a bottom plate and a membrane switch circuit layer. The thin film circuit layer of the prior art includes a thin film switch layer including an upper circuit film, an isolation layer and a lower circuit film. The isolation layer is arranged between the upper circuit film and the lower circuit film to separate the upper switch contact of the upper circuit film and the lower switch contact of the lower circuit film. Therefore, the thickness of the keys of the prior art must be limited by the thickness of the bottom plate plus the thickness of the membrane switch circuit layer.
此外,先前技術的發光按鍵除了底板以及薄膜開關電路層之外,還包含導光板。發光元件(例如,發光二極體元件)所發射的光線從導光板的側面入射,再由導光板導向鍵帽行進。隨著商用發光元件的尺寸逐漸縮小,已有先前技術的發光按鍵採用小尺寸的發光元件,且設置發光元件使其向上發射光線以照射鍵帽。採用向上發射光線的先前技術的發光按鍵可以免除導光板,但是仍不能免除用以電性接合發光元件之電路層的厚度。In addition, in addition to the bottom plate and the membrane switch circuit layer, the light-emitting key of the prior art also includes a light guide plate. The light emitted by the light emitting element (eg, the light emitting diode element) is incident from the side of the light guide plate, and then guided by the light guide plate to the keycap to travel. As the size of commercial light-emitting elements is gradually reduced, the prior art light-emitting keys employ small-sized light-emitting elements, and the light-emitting elements are arranged to emit light upward to illuminate the keycap. The light-emitting keys of the prior art that use the light-emitting keys upward can dispense with the light guide plate, but still cannot dispense with the thickness of the circuit layer for electrically bonding the light-emitting elements.
顯見地,無論是否具有發光功能,先前技術的按鍵仍有減薄的空間。Clearly, the prior art keys still have room for thinning, with or without the light-emitting function.
因此,本發明所欲解決之一技術問題在於提供一種薄型按鍵。根據本發明之薄型按鍵以基板做為薄膜開關層的隔離層。Therefore, one technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a thin key. The thin key according to the present invention uses the substrate as the isolation layer of the membrane switch layer.
