Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates generally to data input devices, and more particularly to a keyboard combining touch sensing technology and the holographic technology, an electronic device using the keyboard, and an input method.
  • keyboards are the most popular and important input devices of computer equipments.
  • a keyboard includes a plurality of keys arranged in a certain arrangement, such as in the QWERT way. In operation, users can complete the input by pressing keys on the keyboard.
  • keyboards such as mechanical keyboards, membrane keyboards, conductive rubber keyboards, and capacitive keyboards.
  • the mechanical keyboard is popularly used in the early stage of the keyboard's development.
  • the working principle of keys of the mechanical keyboard belongs to the physical contact type.
  • Each key has built-in metal parts as a contact point.
  • the metal parts usually include two separate sectors: an elastic component and a metal contactor disposed face-to-face in a spacing, both of which are made of metal material, such as copper.
  • an elastic component When users strike a key, the two metal parts of the key contact each other, and enter a turn-on state and output a signal.
  • the two metal parts will separate and return to the turn-off state.
  • This mechanical keyboard is of the advantages of simple manufacturing process and easy maintenance, whereas it has defects of poor hand feeling, large noise, and rapid wearing.
  • the working principle of keys of the membrane keyboard and the conductive rubber keyboard also belongs to the physical contact type.
  • the structure of the keys is similar to that of aforesaid mechanical keyboard.
  • Each key has two vis-à-vis separate parts made of metal material, such as thin copper sheet. The key turns on when these two parts contact each other. Under this condition, the thin copper sheet would withstand pressure and wear. After some time, the thin copper sheet may be broken and lead to the failure of whole keyboard.
  • the capacitive keyboard is presented to solve aforementioned problems.
  • the working principle of keys of the capacitive keyboard belongs to the non-contact way. Each key includes two separate electrodes. When users strike a key, the distance of the two electrodes will be reduced, thus the capacitance of the electrodes changes accordingly. Due to the capacitance change, an instantaneous current is activated in the keyboard. If the instantaneous current is greater than a certain value, the capacitive keyboard outputs electric signals.
  • the capacitive keyboard works by using capacitance changes caused by the distance changes of the electrodes. As working in a non-contact way, the capacitive keyboard has a very small or even negligible wear rate.
  • the capacitive keyboard is of the advantages of low-noise and easy control, but the manufacturing process is relatively more complicated.
  • the keyboards mentioned above are usually called physical keyboards, which are made up of separate keys with gaps between them. It is difficult to clean the keyboards, since the dust fall into the gaps and accumulate in the gaps easily. After some time, the dust may lead to failure in the work of keyboard. Furthermore, it is required to mark symbols (such as letters or characters) on the keys of the physical keyboards in different languages for users from different countries, which would lead to inconvenience in switching among different languages. In this industry, laser engraving is a conventional method of marking symbols on the keys. However, once the letters or characters are engraved, it's hard to make alteration. When a mistake has been made, the whole keyboard has to be redone or scrapped.
  • writing pad becomes another popular input device and it is more convenient using writing pad to input information for some users than aforementioned keyboards.
  • it cannot work without a specific stylus.
  • the writing pad is always used together with aforementioned keyboards. In this case, these two separate devices will take more space in the workplace.
