    摘要: A backlight module for a lighting keyboard including at least two heat-dissipating keys comprises a reflective layer, a light guide panel and a shielding sheet and has at least two penetration channels. The reflective layer, the light guide panel and the shielding sheet are stacked up and down. The penetration channels symmetrically correspond to the heat-dissipating keys respectively and penetrate the reflective layer, the light guide panel and the shielding sheet. The penetration channels are respectively provided with one light-reducing pattern at their periphery for blocking light. At least two diffusion patterns are arranged adjacent to the light-reducing patterns for guiding light to illuminate the heat-dissipating keys. The light-reducing patterns and the diffusion patterns form at least two heat-reducing optical pattern groups respectively. The heat-reducing optical pattern groups respectively corresponding to the heat-dissipating keys have identical patterns.

    摘要: An illuminated keyswitch structure and an illuminating module thereof are provided. The illuminating module includes a drive circuit board having a reflector layer disposed thereon, a light-emitting part disposed on the drive circuit board and proximate to the reflector layer, a covering structure having an island-shaped covering portion, and a spacer adhered between the covering structure and the drive circuit board and having a through hole and an adhesive-less clearance fringe at least partially surrounding the through hole, wherein the island-shaped covering portion covers above the light-emitting part and the through hole.

    摘要: A keyswitch structure includes a base, a keycap, a lift mechanism and a light-emitting part. The lift mechanism includes a first support, a second support, and a spring structure. The first support and the second support are connected to and between the base and the keycap, so that the keycap can move relative to the base in a vertical direction. The spring structure is a single structural part and is connected to the first support and the second support and drives the first support and the second support to lift the keycap in the vertical direction. The lift mechanism as a whole defines a central space that extends through the whole lift mechanism in the vertical direction. The spring structure does not enter the central space. The light-emitting part is disposed on the base corresponding to the central zone, and emits light to illuminate the keycap.

    摘要: A backlight keyswitch includes a board, a backlight module and a keyswitch body having a cap with a symbol formed thereon. The backlight module disposed under the cap includes first and second ink layers, a light guide plate, a light-blocking sheet having a transparent region corresponding to the cap, and a backlight circuit board having first, third, and second lighting units disposed in the light guide plate and arranged sequentially along a longitudinal direction for emitting first, third, and second color lights respectively to be incident to the transparent region after light mixing. The first and second ink layers are formed on the light-blocking sheet and located outside the first and second lighting units. Colors of the first and second ink layers at least correspond to colors of the second and first color lights respectively to achieve a mixed color.

    摘要: A backlight keyswitch includes a keycap, a support plate, a membrane circuit board and a backlight module. The support plate is disposed under the keycap. The membrane circuit board is disposed in parallel to the keycap and the support plate. The backlight module is disposed under the support plate, which includes a shielding sheet, a light guide panel, a lighting board and a protrusion structure. The shielding sheet includes a light permeable area corresponding to the keycap. The light guide panel is disposed under the shielding sheet. The lighting board is disposed under the light guide panel and includes a light source. The protrusion structure protrudes toward the light source and is formed on one of the support plate, the membrane circuit board and the shielding sheet. The protrusion structure reflects at least partial light of the light source to enter the light guide panel for lateral transmission.

    摘要: A backlight module is applied to providing light to a plurality of keyswitches of a keyboard. Each keyswitch has a keycap and an elastic member abutting against the keycap. The backlight module includes a membrane circuit board and a light guide plate. The membrane circuit board has a light emitting diode corresponding to the keyswitch. The light emitting diode is located at a side of the elastic member and emits light to the keycap. The light guide plate is disposed on the membrane circuit board. The light guide plate has a slot hole for containing the light emitting diode and has a hole corresponding to the elastic member. An optical microstructure is formed on the light guide plate for guiding light of the light emitting diode to be incident to the keycap. The elastic member passes through the hole to be disposed on the membrane circuit board.

    摘要: 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.
