Abstract: An illuminated keyswitch structure with an illuminating module includes a base plate, a drive circuit board under the base plate, a spacer between the drive circuit board and the base plate, and a light-emitting part on the circuit board. The spacer has a through hole communicating with an opening of the base plate in a vertical direction. The light-emitting part is located in the through hole, and falls within a projection of the opening in the vertical direction. The light-emitting part has a top surface that is lower than or equal to a bottom surface of the base plate in the vertical direction. The structure of the illuminated keyswitch structure around the light-emitting part can keep flat by the spacer. The spacer can prevent the light-emitting part from structurally entering the opening, avoiding structural interference between the light-emitting part and other components above the base plate.

Abstract: A protective cover includes a light guide plate, a first flexible layer, a light masking layer and a light source. The light guide plate has a light scattering structure, an upper surface and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface, wherein the light scattering structure is formed in the light guide plate and adjacent to the lower surface. The first flexible layer is formed on the upper surface. The light masking layer is formed on the first flexible layer and has a light transmissible portion formed over the light scattering structure correspondingly. The light source is disposed neighboring to the light guide plate and light emitted by the light source is guided by the light guide plate and then emitted out of the light transmissible portion.

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.
