As for the most frequently contacted computers, there are not only different brands and styles on the market, but also their reach extends to families and factories. , companies, offices, and schools such as φ schools, its use level and even spread to all walks of life, has become a daily necessities for people; relatively, how to maintain the effectiveness of the computer in operation to prevent damage to such high-tech products , it becomes the focus that everyone will notice. In terms of the current usage habits of personal computers, the keyboard is one of the indispensable input devices for inputting text or numbers. Moreover, the consumer-grade electronic products that are in contact with the life or the large-scale processing equipment used in the industry need to have a button structure as an input device to operate the above-mentioned Φ electronic products and processing equipment. The conventional button structure is roughly divided into a dome switch and a rubber switch. However, the conventional keyboards are printed by character screen printing, and the printing materials are liable to cause environmental problems, and the printed font symbols are liable to cause problems that are difficult to recognize due to wear during use. In addition, since the conventional keyboard includes components such as a key cap, a scissor support structure, a connecting rod, and the like, the complicated mechanical structure of the stack is easy to cause problems such as a key drop or a card key when assembled or used for a period of time. In order to facilitate the use of the keyboard in a darker place, the light-emitting diode (Light_;gmitting Diode, 3 M410280 LED) backlit keyboard has been developed to allow users to use it in places with low light. However, it is currently known to separately set the light-emitting diodes under each button (or a required button) in the keyboard, not only must the problem of light leakage be considered, and the number of light-emitting diodes is increased, the keyboard The overall power consumption and cost are also higher [new content] In order to solve the problem of the prior art, one of the technical aspects of the present invention is an input device, which mainly uses laser light to engrave a keyboard character map in a transparent substrate. The laser engraving layer of the image, and the light module is used to inject light into the transparent substrate, so that the laser engraving layer containing the image of the keyboard character scatters the incident light and can be viewed by the user, thereby replacing the traditional keyboard. The way to print ink. In addition, in order to match the keyboard character image in the laser engraving layer to generate the operation signal correspondingly, the creation also adopts the technology of the touch panel as an input method, thereby replacing the traditional key bearing, scissor supporting structure and connecting rod. ... complex button structure of components.

Diode, LD) module, Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED), etc. In one embodiment, in order to prevent light emitted from the light-emitting module 12 from entering the transparent substrate 10 from being emitted from the side of the transparent substrate 10, light leakage is generated on the side of the transparent substrate 10 (for example, black paint). Or a light-reflecting material (for example, a silver paint), so that light can be emitted only vertically from the upper and lower surfaces of the transparent substrate 10, and cannot be horizontally emitted from the side of the transparent substrate 1 . As shown in FIG. 1 , in the input device 1 of the present embodiment, the touch panel 14 can be overlaid on the transparent substrate 1 and can be used to receive touch and generate an input signal according to the touch. Further, light scattered by the laser engraved layer 100 in the transparent substrate 10 can be emitted through the touch panel 14. In this embodiment, in order to pass light scattered by the laser engraving layer 100 in the transparent substrate 10, the touch panel 14 described above must be made of a light transmissive material. Thereby, the light-emitting module 12 is incident on the transparent substrate 10 and is scattered by the laser inner engraving layer 100 by 7 M410280, which can be viewed and recognized by the opaque touch panel. 1.
