摘要： An illuminated metal keycap having a legend diffuser material that may diffuse light through a legend opened in a background layer. The background layer may be opaque and the legend may be transparent. The metal keycap is adhered to a scissor mechanism positioned above electrical switch circuitry. Included within, below, or adjacent to the scissor mechanism may be one or more light sources positioned to emit light through the metal keycap, around the perimeter of the metal keycap, and/or through the background layer.

摘要： Systems and techniques for laser-marking a fabric material. Some implementations may be directed to a fabric component having a surface dyed a first color using a pigment. The surface may be irradiated using a laser to form a lightened region. In some cases, the lightened region has a second color that is lighter than the first color. In some cases, the lightened region has fibers of the nylon fabric component that are fused to form a partially specular surface due to the laser irradiation. In some cases, the lightened region has fibers of the fabric component that are fused to form a partially specular surface. The fabric material may form a fabric component of a device or product. In some cases, the fabric forms a component of a keyboard or user-input device.

摘要： A key mechanism including one or more butterfly hinges. Each butterfly hinge may include a double wing design operative to move between a depressed position and non-depressed position. Hinged coupling mechanisms couple respective arms of the wings together. Additionally or alternatively, a key mechanism can include one or more half-butterfly hinges. Each half-butterfly hinge includes a double wing design operative to move between a depressed position and non-depressed position. A hinged coupling mechanism couples one set of corresponding arms of the wings together, while the other set of corresponding arms are not coupled together.

摘要： An invisible, light-transmissive display system with a light resistant material is provided. The light resistant material has a first side and a second side. Substantially invisible holes penetrate between the first surface and the second surface in a predetermined light-transmissive display pattern. The second surface is exposed to a side curing light that is substantially parallel to the second surface at the invisible holes thereadjacent. A light-conducting curable filler is applied into the invisible holes from the first surface. Surfaces of the light-conducting curable filler are cured in the invisible holes at the second surface with the side curing light. The remaining curable filler in the invisible holes is cured.

摘要： A control panel (2) for a keyboard module (1) is proposed, comprising a cost-effective genuine metal optic, said panel not having a shielding effect for antennas and capable of being manufactured and installed in a simple manner. The control panel (2) comprises a polycarbonate film (4) as a surface element, said film having a UV coating (5) on a top side and a mechanical structure (6) and having a non-conducting PVD, screen printed or NCVM coating (7) on a bottom side. Following said coating (7) is a black coating (8) with material removed at selected locations such that image structures (9) are arranged which mechanically penetrate the black coating (8) and at the same time penetrate the non-conducting PVD, screen printed or NCVM coating (7) proximate to said selected locations of the black coating (8). Following the black coating (8) is in turn a color coating (10), such that the color coating (10) covers at least the areas of the image structures (9) and in a pre-selected color, respectively.
