Abstract: An inductor includes a coil, a conductive lead frame, and a housing. The coil includes a coil body and a lead protruding from the coil body. The lead has a U-bend portion. The lead is electrically fixed onto the conductive lead frame. The housing encapsulates the coil and exposes the conductive lead frame. A method of manufacturing an inductor includes the following steps: providing a coil, providing a conductive lead frame, making a lead of the coil be electrically fixed onto the conductive lead frame, bending the lead to form a U-bend portion and make the main body of the coil close to a portion of the lead that connects with the conductive lead frame, and forming a housing to encapsulate the coil and expose the conductive lead frame.

Abstract: An illuminated keyswitch structure and an illuminating module thereof are provided. A base plate has an opening. The illuminating module includes a drive circuit board, having a face reflector and at least one dot reflector disposed thereon, a spacer adhered on the drive circuit board and having a through hole and an adhesive-less clearance fringe at least partially surrounding the through hole, a light-emitting part disposed on the drive circuit board and proximate to the face reflector and the dot reflector, and a translucent covering structure covering above the light-emitting part and including a reflective layer. The reflective layer reflects off light from the light-emitting part, and the face reflector and/or the at least one dot reflector reflect light to pass through the through hole of the spacer and then illuminate upward through the translucent covering structure and further through the opening of the base plate.

Abstract: A lighting keyboard includes a backlight module and two rows of keyswitches. The backlight module includes a lighting board and a shielding sheet. The lighting board includes plural illuminants aligned into two rows to correspond to the two rows of keyswitches. The shielding sheet includes plural first outlet windows and plural first block patterns disposed within the first outlet windows respectively and form a first row pattern collectively. Each of the first block patterns respectively corresponds to one of the illuminant. The shielding sheet includes at least one second outlet window and plural second block patterns respectively disposed within the at least one second outlet window and formed a second row pattern collectively. Each of the plural second block patterns respectively correspond to one of the plural illuminants. A first window length of the entire contour of the plural first outlet windows is as long as a second window length of the at least one second outlet window. And the first row pattern is not identical to the second row pattern, thereby providing consistent contour halos for the two rows of keyswitches.

Abstract: A backlight module includes a lighting board, a light guide panel, a shielding sheet, and a protrusion structure. The lighting board includes two non-intersected traces, a plurality of microstructure regions and at least one illuminant unit. The illuminant unit is connected between the microstructure regions. The microstructure regions do not overlap with the two non-intersected traces. The light guide panel is disposed above the lighting board, and the shielding sheet is disposed above the light guide panel. The protrusion structure is formed on the shielding sheet, protrudes towards the lighting board, and is between the microstructure regions. The protrusion structure diffuses light of the illuminant unit at an early section of its light path to enter into the light guide panel for lateral transmission. The plural microstructure regions reflect and recycle the light at a following section of the light path to jointly enhance the uniformity of illuminating a keycap.

Abstract: A backlight apparatus used in an illuminated keyboard includes a light-guiding plate, a circuit board and a plurality of light-emitting devices all electrically bonded on the circuit board. The light-guiding plate has a plurality of through holes which each corresponds to one of the light-emitting devices. The circuit board is disposed on a back face of the light-guiding plate such that each light-emitting device is disposed within the corresponding through hole, and that a light-emitting side face of each light-emitting device faces a light incident surface of the corresponding through hole. A specific through hole of the through holes has an optical adjustment surface on the light incident surface thereof, and the optical adjustment surface has a curved surface central axis coaxial with a central optical axis of the corresponding light-emitting device.
