Abstract: An energy-saving light-emitting module is provided, comprising: a light guide plate having a light-incident surface, a bottom surface intersecting the light-incident surface and a light-emitting surface opposite the bottom surface, wherein a plurality of recesses are provided at the bottom surface; a light source placed at one side of the light-incident surface of the light guide plate; and a reflective plate placed at the bottom of the light guide plate for reflecting light rays from the light source into the light guide plate. The light rays emitted by the light source reach the arc surface of each recess at the bottom side of the light guide plate, and the light rays are then reflected to the light-emitting surface. Meanwhile, during the light-emitting process, light rays are concentrated at the arc surface of each recess. The concentration of light rays increases overall luminance produced by the module, and thus, energy is saved effectively.

Abstract: A key structure is provided. The present key structure includes a key cap, a scissor-type frame, an elastic contact body, a membrane circuit board, and a bottom board. A plurality of flanges is provided on the bottom of the elastic contact body, with the surface of the flange being formed as an embossed surface having a cross-striped structure. A print layer is provided on the area of the membrane circuit board corresponding to the flanges of the bottom of the elastic contact body, such that there is a height difference between the print layer and the membrane circuit board. The print layer is formed of a plurality of discontinuous printing portions between which a plurality of holes is formed. After the elastic contact body is bonded to the membrane circuit board by an adhesive, the press force of the elastic contact body caused by pressing the key can be released via the holes. The bonding area of the bottom of the elastic contact body is increased by the cross-striped structure of the embossed surface so as to enhance bonding between the elastic contact body and the membrane circuit board and prevent the adhesive from being extruded out from therebetween.
