Abstract

A light emitting keyboard includes an outer shell, a keyboard portion and a light emitting portion. The keyboard portion and the light emitting portion are arranged within the outer shell. The light emitting portion includes at least one containing tank and a light emitting element disposed in the containing tank. A first concaved part and a second concaved part are arranged on the periphery of the containing tank. The inner walls of the first concaved part and the second concaved part form a first curved surface and a second curved surface. The light emitting element generates a light source emitting to the first concaved part and the second concaved part. The light source propagates along the concaved direction of the first concaved part and the second concaved part after passing through the first curved surface and the second curved surface. Therefore, the travelling direction of the light source in the light emitting portion can be more effectively controlled.

In the accommodating groove 32c, the first recessed portion is respectively disposed on the symmetry axis of the dotted line in the figure. 099120367 of the second recessed portion 41, 42 Form No. A0101 Page 7 / Total 19 Page 0992035988-0 [0015] 201201235 Two sides. The first curved surfaces 401 and 431 and the second curved surfaces 411 and 421 each have a semicircular arc shape, and the first curved surfaces 401 and 431 and the second curved surfaces 4 and 421 have the same radius of curvature. In the light-emitting element (μ), the light-emitting diode 332 is provided on the side of the base 331, and the light-emitting diode 333 is also disposed on the other side. As shown in FIG. 6 , a plan view of the fourth aspect of the accommodating groove in the illuminating keyboard of the present invention is provided in addition to the second recessed portion 41 , 42 in the accommodating groove 32 d compared with FIG. 4 . There are two second recesses 44 and 45 respectively forming the second curved surfaces 441 and 451 on the inner wall, and the first curved surfaces 〇1 and 431 of the first recessed portions 40 and 43 have the same radius of curvature. In the structure "FIG. 4", the first recessed portion 4'' and the second recessed portions 41, 42 are symmetrically arranged with the broken line in FIG. 6 as the axis of symmetry. Except for the surfaces on both sides of the susceptor 331, the light-emitting diodes 332 and 333 are respectively provided. In the above manner of the light guiding portion 30, the light source emitted by the LEDs 332, 333 will be directly diverged or reflected to the first recess portions 40, 43 and the second recess portions 41, 42, 44. And 45, further penetrates the first curved surface 401, 431 and the second curved surface 411, 421, 441, 451 and is transferred among the light guiding portions 3?. In addition to the above aspects, the shape and number of the first recessed/trapped portions 4-0, 43 and the second recessed portions 41, 42, 44, 45 can be changed correspondingly according to actual design requirements. [0016] In the present invention, the light-emitting portion 3 can be mixed and disposed in different manners of the above-described accommodating grooves 32a, 32b, 32c, and 32d. For example, FIG. 7 is a schematic view showing the light source of the light-emitting keyboard of the present invention being conducted in the light guiding portion, wherein the edge region of the light-emitting portion 30 is in the form of using the receiving groove 32a as shown in FIG. 3; The intermediate portion is a type in which the accommodating grooves 32a and 32c as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 5 can be mixed.
