Abstract: A keyboard includes a plurality of keyswitches, a plastic baseplate, and a membrane circuit board. Each keyswitch has a keycap, a lifting mechanism and an elastic member. The lifting mechanism is movably connected to the keycap. The elastic member abuts against the keycap. The plastic baseplate has a first hole formed corresponding to each elastic member and has a connecting structure corresponding to each lifting mechanism. The connecting structure is movably connected to the lifting mechanism to make the keycap movable relative to the plastic baseplate. The membrane circuit board is disposed under the plastic baseplate. Each elastic member passes through the first hole on the plastic baseplate to be disposed on the membrane circuit board. When the keycap is pressed, the elastic member deforms downward to trigger the membrane circuit board. When the keycap is released, the elastic member returns the keycap to its original position.

Abstract: A plastic board suitable for a keyboard having first and second keyswitch sets includes first and second board portions and transverse dividing slots. The first and second board portions have first and second mounting areas respectively corresponding to the first and second keyswitch sets. First dividing slots of the first board portion extend sequentially along a periphery of at least one first mounting area to separate first and second board regions. Second dividing slots of the second board portion extend sequentially along a periphery of at least one second mounting area to separate third and fourth board regions. The transverse dividing slots are formed separately between the first and second board portions to separate the first and third board regions and separate the second and fourth board regions. The first, second, third, and fourth board regions have a feeding point, respectively, to be formed by an injection molding process.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A back light structure for a keyboard with back light includes a supporting plate, a light guiding plate, a flexible circuit board, and a light-emitting component. Keyswitch structures of the keyboard are disposed on the supporting plate. The light guiding plate is disposed under the supporting plate and has a through hole and a lateral surface. The circuit board adheres onto both a lower surface of the light guiding plate and a bottom surface of the supporting plate and covers the lateral surface. The light-emitting component is disposed on the circuit board in the through hole. Thereby, the circuit board also performs as a light shading structure for the lateral surface. A light reflection sheet need not cover both the lateral surface and the circuit board for avoiding light leakage but adheres onto only the lower surface, conducive to reducing the structural thickness of the back light structure.
Abstract translation: 具有背光的键盘的背光结构包括支撑板,导光板,柔性电路板和发光部件。 键盘的钥匙开关结构设置在支撑板上。 导光板设置在支撑板的下方,具有通孔和侧面。 电路板粘附在导光板的下表面和支撑板的底表面上并覆盖侧表面。 发光部件设置在通孔中的电路板上。 由此,电路基板也作为侧面的遮光结构。 光反射片不需要覆盖侧表面和电路板以避免漏光,而仅粘附在下表面上,有利于减小背光结构的结构厚度。
