Description
本創作是有關於一種鍵盤,特別是指一種發光鍵盤及其發光結構。The present invention relates to a keyboard, and more particularly to an illuminated keyboard and a light emitting structure thereof.
就目前個人電腦的使用習慣而言,鍵盤為不可或缺的輸入設備之一,用以輸入文字、符號或數字。使用者在選擇鍵盤時,鍵盤除了應具配基本輸入功能外,鍵盤的視覺效果亦受到使用者的重視。舉例而言,目前市面上已有推出發光鍵盤,除了視覺上對使用者產生吸引力外,於夜間或燈光不足的地方亦可被使用。因此發光鍵盤更具有市場競爭力。而,現今各家廠商為因應電子裝置的輕薄短小的規格趨勢,無不極力研發思考如何使發光鍵盤的整體厚度下降。In terms of current personal computer usage habits, the keyboard is one of the indispensable input devices for entering text, symbols or numbers. When the user selects the keyboard, the keyboard should have the basic input function, and the visual effect of the keyboard is also valued by the user. For example, there are currently available illuminated keyboards on the market that can be used at night or in low-light areas, in addition to being visually appealing to the user. Therefore, the illuminated keyboard is more competitive in the market. However, in today's various manufacturers, in response to the trend of thin and light specifications of electronic devices, it is necessary to vigorously research and develop how to reduce the overall thickness of the illuminated keyboard.
一般來說,目前發光鍵盤的常規設置方式,是將發光模組(例如包含有遮光板、導光板、發光二極體、反射板)設置於按鍵模組(例如包含有鍵帽、剪式支架、彈性件、薄膜開關電路板、底板)下,而發光模組的常見厚度規格為0.4-0.5mm,並搭配高度為0.45mm的發光二極體作為光源。而,為因應未來薄型鍵盤的厚度需求(例如是0.25-0.3mm),各家廠商大致有兩種作法,其一為使用相對高度較低的發光二極體,其二是將發光模組上方的按鍵模組的底板開孔,以使部分之發光二極體可凸伸於該開孔。In general, the conventional setting method of the illuminating keyboard is to set the illuminating module (for example, including a visor, a light guide plate, a light emitting diode, and a reflector) to the button module (for example, including a key cap and a scissor bracket) Under the elastic member, the membrane switch circuit board and the bottom plate, the common thickness specification of the light-emitting module is 0.4-0.5 mm, and the light-emitting diode with a height of 0.45 mm is used as the light source. However, in order to meet the thickness requirements of thin keyboards in the future (for example, 0.25-0.3mm), there are roughly two ways for each manufacturer, one is to use a relatively low-level light-emitting diode, and the other is to use a light-emitting module above. The bottom plate of the button module is opened such that a portion of the light emitting diode can protrude from the opening.
然,無論上述何種設計方式,皆仍存在有諸多缺點與不便。舉例來說,使用高度較低的發光二極體(例如是0.3mm),其不但價格昂貴且發光亮度不如常規0.45mm的發光二極體;而,若將發光模組上方的底板開孔,以使發光二極體外露,如此做法不但會降 低底板的機械結構強度,而使得底板無法提供其上方的用於支撐鍵帽的支撐結構原有的支撐力,且外凸的發光二極體會造成漏光的問題。另外,若使用0.45mm高度的發光二極體,而不將底板開孔的設置方式,則無法有效降低整體鍵盤厚度外,且存在有發光二體可能將底板、遮光板、導光板間的膠合層撐開,從而造成漏光的問題。有鑑於上述諸多技術問題及其不便,本創作人乃潛心研究並配合學理的運用,而提出一種設計合理且有效改善上述問題的本創作。However, regardless of the above design methods, there are still many shortcomings and inconveniences. For example, a lower-level LED (for example, 0.3 mm) is used, which is not only expensive but also has a lower luminance than a conventional 0.45 mm LED; however, if the bottom plate above the light-emitting module is opened, In order to expose the light-emitting diodes in vitro, this will not only lower The mechanical strength of the low bottom plate makes the bottom plate unable to provide the original supporting force of the supporting structure for supporting the key cap above it, and the convex light emitting diode causes a problem of light leakage. In addition, if a light-emitting diode of 0.45 mm height is used, and the arrangement of the bottom plate is not provided, the thickness of the entire keyboard cannot be effectively reduced, and there is a possibility that the light-emitting two body may be glued between the bottom plate, the light-shielding plate and the light guide plate. The layers are stretched open, causing problems with light leakage. In view of the above-mentioned many technical problems and their inconvenience, the author has devoted himself to researching and cooperating with the use of academics, and has proposed a novel that is reasonable in design and effective in improving the above problems.

如圖3所示(其顯示圖2中標號A的區域放大剖面圖),發光模組30的薄膜電路板31貼合於遮光片21的上表面,而設置於薄膜電路板31上的發光單元32則對應向下穿過遮光片21的第二容置孔(圖未示,請復參圖2),而容置於導光板20的第一容置孔(圖 未示,請復參圖2)中,藉以可使設置有發光模組30的導光板20與按鍵模組相鄰接的表面為一平整面,而無任何外凸的發光單元,從而可達到可快速而方便地設置於各式的按鍵模組的底板的功效,且同時可解決習知技術中,發光二極體(發光單元)外凸於導光板與按鍵模組相鄰接的表面,而帶來的諸多問題。As shown in FIG. 3 (which shows an enlarged cross-sectional view of the area A in FIG. 2), the thin film circuit board 31 of the light emitting module 30 is attached to the upper surface of the light shielding film 21, and the light emitting unit is disposed on the thin film circuit board 31. 32 corresponds to the second receiving hole of the light shielding sheet 21 (not shown, please refer to FIG. 2), and is accommodated in the first receiving hole of the light guide plate 20 (Fig. In addition, please refer to FIG. 2), so that the surface of the light guide plate 20 provided with the light-emitting module 30 adjacent to the button module can be a flat surface without any convex light-emitting unit, thereby achieving The utility model can be quickly and conveniently disposed on the bottom plate of each type of button module, and at the same time, in the prior art, the light-emitting diode (light-emitting unit) protrudes from the surface adjacent to the light guide plate and the button module. And many problems brought about.
在實際應用中,薄膜電路板31的外型及其發光單元32的配置位置,可以依據實際遮光片21的透光穿孔212的設計,以及薄膜電路板31預定設置於遮光片21的位置而決定;舉例來說,如圖3所示,薄膜電路板31可以是設計為直線型,且其寬度可以是小於或等於遮光片21的兩個透光穿孔212的間距;而,如圖2所示,發光模組30、第一容置孔201及第二容置孔211可以是設置於遮光片21的中央部位(即鍵盤結構的中央部位),藉以可使發光模組30的發光單元32所發出的光線經過近乎相等距離的導光板20的導引,而均勻地照亮各鍵帽12。當然,在另外的應用中,可以是將至少兩組的發光模組30設置於遮光片21的任一側邊而非中央部位。In an actual application, the appearance of the thin film circuit board 31 and the arrangement position of the light emitting unit 32 can be determined according to the design of the transparent light perforation 212 of the actual light shielding film 21 and the position of the thin film circuit board 31 which is predetermined to be disposed on the light shielding film 21.

The first receiving hole 201 is exposed, and the reflective sheet 22 disposed on the lower surface 203 of the light guide plate 20 may be formed on the lower surface 203 of the light guide plate 20 by heat fusion, so that the exposed light emitting unit 32 can be directly coated. Or the reflective sheet 22 may be in a convex manner, and a relief portion 221 is formed corresponding to the convex position of the light emitting unit 32 to accommodate the convex light-emitting unit 32, thereby effectively avoiding the convex light-emitting unit. 32 problems with light leakage occurred.
