請參照第1圖以及第2圖。第1圖為繪示本創作一實施方式之按鍵裝置100的立體爆炸圖。第2圖為繪示本創作一實施方式之按鍵裝置100的剖面圖。如第1圖與第2圖所示,本實施方式之按鍵裝置100可以是供桌上型電腦使用之外接鍵盤(例如,PS2介面之鍵盤或USB介面之鍵盤)的按鍵或是包含鍵盤形式之輸入裝置的的按鍵,但並不以此為限。換言之,本創作之按鍵裝置100之概念可以應用於任何以按鍵作為輸入介面的電子產品。 Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2. FIG. 1 is a perspective exploded view of a key device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the key device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the button device 100 of the present embodiment may be a button for a desktop computer to use a keyboard (for example, a keyboard of a PS2 interface or a keyboard of a USB interface) or an input including a keyboard. The button of the device, but not limited to this. In other words, the concept of the key device 100 of the present invention can be applied to any electronic product that uses a button as an input interface.
如第1圖與第2圖所示,於本實施方式中,按鍵裝 置100包含底板110、印刷電路板120、透射層130、導光間隔層140、光源150以及按鍵組件160,其中印刷電路板120、透射層130、導光間隔層140與光源150的組合可視為獨立的電路板組件。電路板組件設置於底板110上。按鍵組件160設置於電路板組件上。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, the button is mounted. The device 100 includes a bottom plate 110, a printed circuit board 120, a transmissive layer 130, a light guiding spacer 140, a light source 150, and a button assembly 160. The combination of the printed circuit board 120, the transmissive layer 130, the light guiding spacer layer 140 and the light source 150 can be regarded as A separate board assembly. The circuit board assembly is disposed on the bottom plate 110. The button assembly 160 is disposed on the circuit board assembly.
具體來說,底板110延伸有卡勾111。印刷電路板120對應地具有貫孔(未標示)以供底板110的卡勾111穿過。按鍵組件160包含連接件161、鍵帽162以及復位件163。於本實施例中,連接件161連接於鍵帽162與底板110的卡勾111之間,並由兩連桿所樞接而成,藉以帶動鍵帽162相對底板110進行升降。復位件163係設置於電路板組件上方,並位於鍵帽162與電路板組件之間。當鍵帽162接受外力而被下壓時,復位件163將對鍵帽162產生一抗力,進而提供使用者按壓之手感,而當施加於鍵帽162的外力釋放之後,復位件163可提供下壓之鍵帽162回復至原始未按壓之位置的回復力,於本實施例中,復位件163可為一彈性件,例如橡膠圓頂、金屬圓頂或彈片。 Specifically, the bottom plate 110 extends with a hook 111. The printed circuit board 120 correspondingly has a through hole (not shown) for the hook 111 of the bottom plate 110 to pass through. The button assembly 160 includes a connector 161, a keycap 162, and a reset member 163. In this embodiment, the connecting member 161 is connected between the key cap 162 and the hook 111 of the bottom plate 110, and is pivotally connected by the two connecting rods, so as to drive the key cap 162 to move up and down with respect to the bottom plate 110. The reset member 163 is disposed above the circuit board assembly and between the keycap 162 and the circuit board assembly. When the keycap 162 is pressed down by receiving an external force, the reset member 163 will generate a resistance to the keycap 162, thereby providing a user's feeling of pressing, and when the external force applied to the keycap 162 is released, the reset member 163 can be provided. The pressing key cap 162 returns to the restoring force of the original unpressed position. In the embodiment, the resetting member 163 can be an elastic member such as a rubber dome, a metal dome or a spring piece.
於實際應用中,連接件161亦可替換為其他具有類似功能(即帶動鍵帽162相對底板110進行升降)之連接結構,例如V型、A型或二平行之連桿結構。復位件163亦可替換為其他具有類似功能之元件,例如磁性元件。 In practical applications, the connecting member 161 can also be replaced with other connecting structures having similar functions (ie, driving the keycap 162 to move up and down relative to the bottom plate 110), such as a V-shaped, A-shaped or two-parallel connecting rod structure. The reset member 163 can also be replaced with other components having similar functions, such as magnetic components.
於實際應用中,按鍵裝置100亦可將前述底板110取消,並在印刷電路板120上熱熔一框架(圖未示),以與連接件161的底端相銜接。 In practical applications, the button device 100 can also cancel the bottom plate 110 and thermally fuse a frame (not shown) on the printed circuit board 120 to engage with the bottom end of the connector 161.
如第1圖與第2圖所示,於本實施方式中,印刷電路板120位於底板110上。透射層130位於印刷電路板120上方。印刷電路板120與透射層130分隔於導光間隔層140的相對兩側。亦即,導光間隔層140係以其厚度將印刷電路板120與透射層130隔開。導光間隔層140具有穿孔141。穿孔141位於按鍵組件160的正下方。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, the printed circuit board 120 is placed on the bottom plate 110. The transmissive layer 130 is located above the printed circuit board 120. The printed circuit board 120 and the transmissive layer 130 are separated from opposite sides of the light guiding spacer layer 140. That is, the light guiding spacer 140 separates the printed circuit board 120 from the transmitting layer 130 by its thickness. The light guiding spacer layer 140 has a through hole 141. The perforations 141 are located directly below the button assembly 160.
進一步來說,請參照第3圖,其為繪示第2圖中之按鍵裝置100的局部剖面圖。如第3圖所示,印刷電路板120包含開關電路121。透射層130包含導接點135。導接點135配置以分別經由穿孔141接觸開關電路121。具體來說,當鍵帽162未被按壓時,透射層130上的導接點135與印刷電路板120上的開關電路121係分隔於導光間隔層140的兩側而電性分離。當鍵帽162被按壓而朝向底板110移動時,鍵帽162會直接或間接推擠透射層130部分地進入導光間隔層140的穿孔141,使得透射層130上的導接點135穿過導光間隔層140的穿孔141而接觸印刷電路板120上的開關電路121(亦即,觸發行為,於本實施例中,係透過復位件163推擠透射層130以觸發開關電路121)。藉此,開關電路121隨即產生對應被按壓之按鍵裝置100的觸發訊號。於一些實施方式中,開關電路121為指狀電極。需特別說明的是,由於開關電路121設於印刷電路板120,以致透射層130可以僅設置導接點135而避免設置複雜的開關電路,藉此避免光線被開關電路阻隔,進而增加光線穿出透射層130之效率。 Further, please refer to FIG. 3, which is a partial cross-sectional view showing the key device 100 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the printed circuit board 120 includes a switch circuit 121. Transmissive layer 130 includes conductive contacts 135. The contact point 135 is configured to contact the switch circuit 121 via the via 141, respectively. Specifically, when the keycap 162 is not pressed, the conductive contacts 135 on the transmissive layer 130 are electrically separated from the switching circuits 121 on the printed circuit board 120 by being separated from both sides of the light guiding spacer 140. When the keycap 162 is pressed to move toward the bottom plate 110, the keycap 162 directly or indirectly pushes the transmissive layer 130 partially into the perforation 141 of the light guiding spacer layer 140, so that the guiding point 135 on the transmissive layer 130 passes through the guide. The perforations 141 of the light spacer layer 140 contact the switch circuit 121 on the printed circuit board 120 (i.e., the triggering behavior, in the present embodiment, the transmissive layer 130 is pushed through the reset member 163 to trigger the switch circuit 121). Thereby, the switch circuit 121 then generates a trigger signal corresponding to the pressed button device 100. In some embodiments, the switch circuit 121 is a finger electrode. It should be noted that, since the switch circuit 121 is disposed on the printed circuit board 120, the transmissive layer 130 can only be provided with the conductive contact point 135 to avoid setting a complicated switching circuit, thereby preventing the light from being blocked by the switch circuit, thereby increasing the light passing through. The efficiency of the transmission layer 130.
另外,請參照第4圖,其為繪示第2圖中之電路板 組件於一實施方式中的局部剖面圖。,導光間隔層140具有容置空間S。光源150設置於印刷電路板120與透射層130之間,並位於容置空間S中。由此結構配置可知,本實施方式的按鍵裝置100是將光源150設置於印刷電路板120與透射層130之間,並利用設置於印刷電路板120與透射層130之間的導光間隔層140提供導光之功能。藉此,即可有效地減少按鍵裝置及按鍵裝置100的整體厚度。 In addition, please refer to FIG. 4, which is a circuit board in FIG. A partial cross-sectional view of an assembly in one embodiment. The light guiding spacer layer 140 has a housing space S. The light source 150 is disposed between the printed circuit board 120 and the transmissive layer 130 and located in the accommodating space S. According to the configuration of the present invention, the key device 100 of the present embodiment has the light source 150 disposed between the printed circuit board 120 and the transmissive layer 130 and utilizes the light guiding spacer 140 disposed between the printed circuit board 120 and the transmissive layer 130. Provides light guiding function. Thereby, the overall thickness of the key device and the key device 100 can be effectively reduced.
如第3圖與第4圖所示,於本實施方式中,透射層130包含透明基材131。透明基材131設有反射塗層132以及遮蔽塗層133。透明基材131具有頂面131a以及底面131b。透明基材131的頂面131a面向按鍵組件160。透明基材131的底面131b面向導光間隔層140。反射塗層132設置於透明基材131的頂面131a,並在未塗覆反射塗層132及遮蔽塗層133之處形成透射區134(配合參照第3圖)。按鍵組件160在電路板組件上的正投影對應(例如,涵蓋)透射區134。電路板組件還包含供電電路122設置於印刷電路板120。光源150設置於印刷電路板120,並由供電電路122進行供電。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in the present embodiment, the transmission layer 130 includes a transparent substrate 131. The transparent substrate 131 is provided with a reflective coating 132 and a masking coating 133. The transparent substrate 131 has a top surface 131a and a bottom surface 131b. The top surface 131a of the transparent substrate 131 faces the button assembly 160. The bottom surface 131b of the transparent substrate 131 is guided to the light spacer layer 140. The reflective coating 132 is disposed on the top surface 131a of the transparent substrate 131, and forms a transmissive region 134 where the reflective coating 132 and the masking coating 133 are not coated (refer to FIG. 3 for cooperation). The orthographic projection of the button assembly 160 on the board assembly corresponds (e.g., encompasses) the transmissive region 134. The circuit board assembly also includes a power supply circuit 122 disposed on the printed circuit board 120. The light source 150 is disposed on the printed circuit board 120 and is powered by the power supply circuit 122.
於本實施方式中,光源150為頂射式發光二極體,並且,導光間隔層140的容置空間S於透射層130上的正投影與反射塗層132重疊,因此光源150朝向透射層130所發射的光線會先穿過透明基材131而被反射塗層132反射而進入導光間隔層140中進行傳導,而藉由透射層130的反射塗層132的反射功能,可確保光源150所發射的所有光線能夠有效率地傳導於導光間隔層140中,並可用以反射及遮蔽光源150周圍之光 線,避免光源150周圍區域亮度過高,進而提升光線均勻度。當被傳導的光線抵達未塗覆遮蔽塗層133及反射塗層132之處所形成的透射區134時(如第3圖所示),就會穿過透射區134而抵達按鍵組件160,進而達到使按鍵組件160發光的效果。並且,藉由將光源150設置於印刷電路板120與透射層130之間的作法,還可對光源150達到防塵防水的效果。 In the present embodiment, the light source 150 is a top-emitting light-emitting diode, and the orthographic projection of the accommodating space S of the light-guiding spacer layer 140 on the transmission layer 130 overlaps with the reflective coating 132, so that the light source 150 faces the transmission layer. The light emitted by the 130 is first transmitted through the transparent substrate 131 and reflected by the reflective coating 132 into the light guiding spacer 140 for conduction, and the light source 150 is ensured by the reflective function of the reflective coating 132 of the transmitting layer 130. All of the emitted light can be efficiently conducted in the light guiding spacer layer 140 and can be used to reflect and shield the light around the light source 150. Line, to avoid the brightness of the area around the light source 150 is too high, thereby improving the uniformity of the light. When the transmitted light reaches the transmissive region 134 formed by the uncoated masking coating 133 and the reflective coating 132 (as shown in FIG. 3), it passes through the transmissive region 134 and reaches the button assembly 160, thereby reaching The effect of causing the button assembly 160 to emit light. Moreover, by providing the light source 150 between the printed circuit board 120 and the transmission layer 130, the light source 150 can also be protected from dust and water.
於實際應用中,為了因應實際需求,可彈性地增減按鍵組件160所對應之透射區134的數量,也可彈性地調整透射區134的形狀。 In practical applications, in order to meet the actual demand, the number of the transmissive regions 134 corresponding to the button assembly 160 can be flexibly increased or decreased, and the shape of the transmissive region 134 can also be flexibly adjusted.
於本實施方式中,導光間隔層140具有反射部142。反射部142可設於導光間隔層140之頂面或底面,於本實施方式中係設置於導光間隔層140之底面。於一些實施方式中,反射部142可形成點狀反射圖案或為凹陷結構。藉由控制反射部142的形狀、數量、大小與排列方式,即可使得傳導於導光間隔層140中的光線在導光間隔層140各處的光強度均勻且一致。 In the present embodiment, the light guiding spacer layer 140 has a reflecting portion 142. The reflection portion 142 may be disposed on the top surface or the bottom surface of the light guiding spacer layer 140. In the present embodiment, the reflection portion 142 is disposed on the bottom surface of the light guiding spacer layer 140. In some embodiments, the reflective portion 142 can form a dot-like reflective pattern or be a recessed structure. By controlling the shape, the number, the size, and the arrangement of the reflecting portions 142, the light intensity of the light conducted in the light guiding spacer layer 140 throughout the light guiding spacer layer 140 can be uniform and uniform.
由此可知,由於本實施方式的按鍵裝置100係將用以產生觸發訊號的開關電路121以及對光源150供電的供電電路122整合在印刷電路板120上,因此不需採用習知發光鍵盤中的薄膜電路板,進而可降低製造成本及組裝工序。不僅如此,由於印刷電路板120、透射層130、導光間隔層140與光源150可直接製造為單一模組,因此相較於前述習知發光鍵盤來說,因組裝的構件減少,所以可節省原料成本及組裝步驟。 Therefore, since the key device 100 of the present embodiment integrates the switch circuit 121 for generating the trigger signal and the power supply circuit 122 for supplying the light source 150 on the printed circuit board 120, it is not required to use the conventional illuminated keyboard. The thin film circuit board can further reduce the manufacturing cost and the assembly process. Moreover, since the printed circuit board 120, the transmissive layer 130, the light guiding spacer 140 and the light source 150 can be directly fabricated as a single module, the assembled components can be reduced compared to the conventional illuminated keyboard, thereby saving Raw material cost and assembly steps.

A partial cross-sectional view in another embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, the transmission layer 130 also includes a transparent substrate 131. The transparent substrate 131 is provided with a reflective coating 132 and a masking coating 133. The difference between the circuit board assembly of the present embodiment and the circuit board assembly of FIG. 4 is that the shielding coating layer 133 of the present embodiment is disposed on the top surface 131a of the transparent substrate 131, and the reflective coating layer 132 is disposed on the transparent substrate. The bottom surface 131b of 131. That is to say, the reflective coating 132 and the shielding coating 133 shown in FIG. 4 are both located outside the transmission layer 130, and the reflective coating 132 and the shielding coating 133 shown in FIG. 5 are respectively located inside the transmission layer 130. With the outside. In addition, the shielding coating 133 may also be disposed on the bottom surface 131b of the transparent substrate 131, and the reflective coating 132 covers the shielding coating 133, that is, the reflective coating 132 and the shielding coating 133 are located inside the transmission layer 130.
於一些實施方式中,底板110可由硬質材料製成(例如金屬或塑膠材質),但本創作並不以此為限。 In some embodiments, the bottom plate 110 may be made of a hard material (for example, metal or plastic), but the present invention is not limited thereto.
於一些實施方式中,印刷電路板120為具有反射效果之非透明材質所製成的基板。 In some embodiments, the printed circuit board 120 is a substrate made of a non-transparent material having a reflective effect.
請參照第6圖、第7圖以及第8圖。第6圖為繪示本創作另一實施方式之按鍵裝置200的剖面圖。第7圖為繪示第6圖中之按鍵裝置200的局部剖面圖。第8圖為繪示第6圖中之電路板組件的局部剖面圖。如第6圖至第8圖所示,於本實施方式中,按鍵裝置200包含底板110、印刷電路板120、透射層230、導光間隔層240、光源150以及按鍵組件260,其中印刷電路板120、透射層230、導光間隔層240與光源150的組合可視為獨立的電路板組件,而底板110、印刷電路板120及光源150與第2圖所示之實施方式相同,因此可參照前文相關說 明,在此不再贅述。另外,按鍵組件260包含連接件161、鍵帽162以及復位件263,其中連接件161及鍵帽162與第2圖所示之實施方式相同,因此同樣可參照前文相關說明,在此不再贅述。 Please refer to Figure 6, Figure 7, and Figure 8. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a key device 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 7 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the key device 200 in Fig. 6. Figure 8 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the circuit board assembly of Figure 6. As shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 8 , in the present embodiment, the button device 200 includes a bottom plate 110 , a printed circuit board 120 , a transmissive layer 230 , a light guiding spacer 240 , a light source 150 , and a button assembly 260 , wherein the printed circuit board 120, the transmission layer 230, the combination of the light guiding spacer 240 and the light source 150 can be regarded as a separate circuit board assembly, and the bottom plate 110, the printed circuit board 120 and the light source 150 are the same as the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, so reference can be made to the foregoing Related Ming, I will not repeat them here. In addition, the button assembly 260 includes a connector member 161, a key cap 162, and a reset member 263. The connector member 161 and the key cap 162 are the same as those of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, and therefore, the related descriptions are also referred to, and details are not described herein again. .
要說明的是,本實施方式之按鍵裝置200相較於第2圖所示之實施方式之按鍵裝置100的一差異處,在於本實施方式之導光間隔層240取消了容置空間S,因此位於印刷電路板120上的光源150係由導光間隔層240的下方朝向導光間隔層240發光。 It should be noted that, in a difference between the button device 200 of the present embodiment and the button device 100 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the light guiding spacer 240 of the present embodiment cancels the accommodating space S, and therefore The light source 150 on the printed circuit board 120 is illuminated by the lower side of the light guiding spacer 240 toward the light guiding spacer 240.
本實施方式之按鍵裝置200相較於第2圖所示之實施方式之按鍵裝置100的另一差異處,在於本實施方式之透射層230包含設置於導光間隔層240上之反射塗層231及遮蔽塗層232(亦即,本實施方式之透射層230取消了第2圖中之透射層130的透明基材131)。具體來說,反射塗層231係直接塗佈於導光間隔層240上,而遮蔽塗層232係直接塗佈於反射塗層231上。反射塗層231與遮蔽塗層232形成透射區233(見第8圖)。按鍵組件260在透射層230上的正投影涵蓋透射區233。光源150於透射層230上的正投影與反射塗層231重疊,因此光源150所發射的光線會被反射塗層231反射而回到導光間隔層240中進行傳導。藉由反射塗層231的反射功能,可確保光源150所發射的所有光線能夠有效率地傳導於導光間隔層240中,並可用以反射及遮蔽光源150周圍之光線,避免光源150周圍區域亮度過高,進而提升光線均勻度。當被傳導的光線抵達未塗覆遮蔽塗層232及反射塗層231之處所形成的透射區 233時(如第8圖所示),就會穿過透射區233而抵達按鍵組件260,進而達到使按鍵組件260發光的效果。導光間隔層240具有反射部242。反射部242的設置位置與功能與第4圖所示之反射部142相同,因此可參照前文相關說明,在此不再贅述。 Another difference between the button device 200 of the present embodiment and the button device 100 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 is that the transmission layer 230 of the present embodiment includes the reflective coating layer 231 disposed on the light guiding spacer 240. And the masking coating 232 (that is, the transmission layer 230 of the present embodiment cancels the transparent substrate 131 of the transmission layer 130 in FIG. 2). Specifically, the reflective coating 231 is directly applied to the light guiding spacer 240, and the masking coating 232 is directly applied to the reflective coating 231. The reflective coating 231 forms a transmissive region 233 with the masking coating 232 (see Figure 8). The orthographic projection of button assembly 260 on transmissive layer 230 encompasses transmissive region 233. The orthographic projection of the light source 150 on the transmissive layer 230 overlaps with the reflective coating 231, so that the light emitted by the light source 150 is reflected by the reflective coating 231 and returned to the light guiding spacer 240 for conduction. By the reflective function of the reflective coating 231, it can be ensured that all the light emitted by the light source 150 can be efficiently conducted in the light guiding spacer 240, and can be used for reflecting and shielding the light around the light source 150, thereby avoiding the brightness of the area around the light source 150. Too high to improve light uniformity. The transmitted region formed when the transmitted light reaches the uncoated masking layer 232 and the reflective coating 231 At 233 (as shown in Fig. 8), it will pass through the transmissive area 233 and reach the button assembly 260, thereby achieving the effect of illuminating the button assembly 260. The light guiding spacer layer 240 has a reflecting portion 242. The installation position and function of the reflection portion 242 are the same as those of the reflection portion 142 shown in FIG. 4, and therefore, the related description will be referred to, and will not be described herein.
本實施方式之按鍵裝置200相較於第2圖所示之實施方式之按鍵裝置100的再一差異處,在於本實施方式之透射層230具有第一穿孔234,而導光間隔層240還具有第二穿孔241,第二穿孔241實質上對齊第一穿孔234。並且按鍵組件260的復位件263包含導電件263a。導電件263a配置以依序穿過第一穿孔234與第二穿孔241而電性接觸印刷電路板120上的開關電路121,於本實施例中,導電件263a為設於復位件263底部的導電橡膠件。 A further difference between the button device 200 of the present embodiment and the button device 100 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 is that the transmission layer 230 of the present embodiment has a first through hole 234, and the light guiding spacer layer 240 further has The second through hole 241 is substantially aligned with the first through hole 234. And the reset member 263 of the button assembly 260 includes a conductive member 263a. The conductive member 263a is configured to pass through the first through hole 234 and the second through hole 241 to electrically contact the switch circuit 121 on the printed circuit board 120. In this embodiment, the conductive member 263a is electrically conductive disposed at the bottom of the reset member 263. Rubber parts.
具體來說,當鍵帽162未被按壓時,復位件263上的導電件263a與印刷電路板120上的開關電路121係分隔於導光間隔層240的兩側而電性分離。當鍵帽162被按壓而朝向底板110移動時,鍵帽162會推擠復位件263朝向底板110移動,使得導電件263a穿過透射層230的第一穿孔234而部分地進入導光間隔層240的第二穿孔241,進而接觸印刷電路板120上的開關電路121(亦即,觸發行為,於本實施例中,係透過復位件263移動而使導電件263a觸發開關電路121)。藉此,開關電路121隨即產生對應被按壓之按鍵裝置200的觸發訊號。 Specifically, when the keycap 162 is not pressed, the conductive member 263a on the reset member 263 and the switch circuit 121 on the printed circuit board 120 are electrically separated from each other on both sides of the light guiding spacer 240. When the keycap 162 is pressed to move toward the bottom plate 110, the keycap 162 pushes the reset member 263 toward the bottom plate 110 such that the conductive member 263a passes through the first through hole 234 of the transmissive layer 230 to partially enter the light guiding spacer layer 240. The second through hole 241, in turn, contacts the switch circuit 121 on the printed circuit board 120 (i.e., the triggering action, in the present embodiment, the conductive member 263a triggers the switch circuit 121 by moving through the reset member 263). Thereby, the switch circuit 121 then generates a trigger signal corresponding to the pressed button device 200.
由以上對於本創作之具體實施方式之詳述,可以明顯地看出,本創作的按鍵裝置及電路板組件是將光源設置於印刷電路板與透射層之間,並利用內設置於印刷電路板與透射 層之間的間隔層提供導光之功能,同時利用印刷電路板與透射層達到遮光層以及反射層之功能。藉此,即可有效地減少按鍵裝置的整體厚度。並且,由於本創作的按鍵裝置與電路板組件係將用以產生觸發訊號的開關電路以及對光源供電的供電電路整合在印刷電路板上,因此不需採用習知發光鍵盤中的薄膜電路板,進而可降低製造成本及組裝工序。 From the above detailed description of the specific implementation of the present invention, it can be clearly seen that the key device and the circuit board assembly of the present invention are disposed between the printed circuit board and the transmissive layer, and are disposed on the printed circuit board by using the same. And transmission The spacer layer between the layers provides the function of light guiding while utilizing the functions of the printed circuit board and the transmissive layer to achieve the light shielding layer and the reflective layer. Thereby, the overall thickness of the key device can be effectively reduced. Moreover, since the key device and the circuit board assembly of the present invention integrate the switch circuit for generating the trigger signal and the power supply circuit for supplying the light source on the printed circuit board, the thin film circuit board in the conventional illuminated keyboard is not required. Further, the manufacturing cost and the assembly process can be reduced.
