摘要： The present invention is directed to a device for illuminating a keyboard or other portion of a PC main body unit of a portable computer (e.g., a convertible PC that can be used as a notebook PC or a tablet PC) by utilizing a center latch mechanism. An embodiment of the invention includes a latch provided in the vicinity of an upper edge of the cover unit, and a latch receiving portion provided in the main-body unit. When the cover unit is closed, the latch receiving portion is engaged with the latch to secure the main-body unit and the cover unit in a position where the cover unit is closed. A light source is embedded in the cover unit in the vicinity of the latch, and a light-reflecting surface provided on a surface of the latch so that, when the cover unit is open, light from the light source can be reflected to the keyboard to illuminate the keyboard.
