Description

Luminous touch keyboard

This creation relates to an input device, and more particularly to a luminous touch keyboard.

Press, the keyboard is the most popular device for computer input characters, symbols and function adjustment, including mechanical keyboard and touch keyboard. The touch keyboard also includes resistive, capacitive and infrared, etc. The inductive touch signal is transmitted back to the computer.

Generally, when the touch keyboard is not illuminated by an external light source, only the light of the screen cannot be used to see the exact key position to be pressed. If the key position needs to be seen, other backlight modules need to be matched, or another light source may be turned on. Lights that emit weak, recognizable letters and symbols will help you operate your computer in any environment.

In view of this, the present invention proposes a luminous touch keyboard to effectively overcome the above problems in view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art.

The main purpose of this creation is to provide a luminous touch keyboard, which allows the user to use the light emitted by the luminous material to smoothly use the keyboard when the ambient light is insufficient, and can recognize the letters and symbols on the keyboard without turning on the light.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a luminous touch keyboard, which has an ultra-thin design integrated with a notebook computer to substantially reduce the overall thickness, or an external portable keyboard as a tablet computer.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a luminous touch keyboard, which can be a soft keyboard for easy curl storage.

For the above purposes, the present invention provides a luminous touch keyboard comprising a luminous display layer for coating or printing a luminous material on the touch layer; and displaying characters by the attached luminous material and the non-luminescent material, Patterns and wireframes that illuminate when ambient light is low for The user correctly recognizes the key position.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment 0010 of a luminous touch keyboard.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a luminous touch keyboard according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 3 is an exploded view of another embodiment 0011 of the creative luminous touch keyboard.

FIG. 4 is an exploded view of another embodiment 0012 of the creative luminous touch keyboard.

The present invention is a luminous touch keyboard. In this embodiment, the luminous display layer 12 is directly printed on the touch layer 14 and can be printed on the front or back of the touch layer 14. In this example, no separate luminous layer assembly is required. .

Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , which are respectively a perspective view and an exploded view of an embodiment of the luminous touch keyboard 10 . The luminous touch keyboard 10 includes a luminous display layer 12 and a touch layer 14 . The display layer 12 is printed on a luminescent material or coated on a transparent or opaque film to form a button pattern such as a letter, a symbol, a frame line, etc., and the luminous display layer 12 may be located above or below the touch layer 14. The film can be divided into two types: a hard film and a soft film. If the film is a hard film, it can be glass or acrylic or metal. If the film is a soft film, it can be paper, fabric or plastic. Silicone, rubber film, etc.; the touch layer 14 can also be hard or soft. If it is a hard touch layer, it is made of glass or acrylic. If it is a soft touch layer, it is made of plastic or silicone. The thickness of the luminous display layer 12 is less than 0.5 mm, and the thickness of the touch layer 14 is less than 1.5 mm, so that the overall thickness of the luminous touch keyboard 10 is less than 2 mm.

FIG. 4 is another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a night touch keyboard 20 is illustrated, which includes a touch layer 210 and a night light display layer 220. This embodiment and embodiment 0010 The difference from the embodiment 0011 is that the luminous display layer 220 includes a luminous layer 221 and a light transmissive layer 222. One side of the luminous layer 221 is coated with the luminous material 230, and the transparent layer 222 is an opaque material. Characters, patterns, and wireframes are vacated, and the light-transmissive layer 222 is stacked in such a manner that the luminous layer 221 is coated with the surface of the luminous material.

In this embodiment, the entire surface of the luminous layer 221 is coated with a luminous material, and the entire surface is illuminated. The light transmissive layer 222 is an opaque material, except that the characters, the pattern and the wire frame are hollowed out, and the light transmissive layer 222 is superposed on the luminous layer 221, and the opaque portion blocks the illumination of the luminous layer 221, and the hollow portion can be Light is emitted, so that characters, patterns, and wire frames can be displayed, and since the luminous material 230 is coated on the luminous layer 221 under the light-transmitting layer 222, the exposed portions are also lower than the surface of the light-transmitting layer 222. The position of the recess is not easy to wear, which is beneficial to the protection of the luminous material 230 and prolongs the service life of the product.

The luminous layer can be printed on the 221 luminous layer by using a luminous film or a luminous plastic or a luminous plastic as the substrate, and the button pattern is printed or opaque on the 221 luminous layer.

The button pattern is printed or drawn with the luminous material first, then the luminous part is the character and the frame line, or the opaque substance is printed on the character and the frame line, and the remaining blank is filled with the luminous material, then the luminous illumination is In addition to all the characters except the characters and the frame lines, the display method of the luminous materials can produce two display modes in which the characters and the frame lines are illuminated without the background being bright, or the background is illuminated, and the characters and the frame lines are not bright.

A touch sensing circuit 142 is connected to the touch layer 14 and 210. The detection of the pressing address corresponds to the button pattern, and the trigger signal is transmitted through a wired or wireless module (not shown), such as USB or Bluetooth. Wired or wirelessly connected to a computer device or mobile phone (not shown) to transmit key signals to a computer or mobile device.

In summary, the luminous touch keyboard provided by the present invention is formed by using a luminous material to form a luminous display layer, and then the night light display layer is combined with the touch layer, and the button patterns are formed by the luminous material and the opaque material in the luminous display. On the layer, this creation allows the user to use the keyboard smoothly when the ambient light is insufficient, saving the need to turn on the light to see the power wasted by the keyboard; the ultra-thin design of the creation, combined with the notebook computer, can greatly reduce the overall thickness, or It can be stored in a protective case of a tablet or a mobile phone, or combined with a protective case to form a thin keyboard protective case; in addition, the luminous touch keyboard of the present invention can be made of a soft or hard touch keyboard by different materials. The soft one can be curled, which is convenient for storage and carrying, and improves practicality.

The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, any change or modification of the characteristics and spirit described in the scope of this application shall be included in the scope of the patent application for this creation.
