Abstract: 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.

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.

Abstract: A backlight module includes a lighting board, a light guide panel, a shielding sheet, and a protrusion structure. The lighting board includes two non-intersected traces, a plurality of microstructure regions and at least one illuminant unit. The illuminant unit is connected between the microstructure regions. The microstructure regions do not overlap with the two non-intersected traces. The light guide panel is disposed above the lighting board, and the shielding sheet is disposed above the light guide panel. The protrusion structure is formed on the shielding sheet, protrudes towards the lighting board, and is between the microstructure regions. The protrusion structure diffuses light of the illuminant unit at an early section of its light path to enter into the light guide panel for lateral transmission. The plural microstructure regions reflect and recycle the light at a following section of the light path to jointly enhance the uniformity of illuminating a keycap.

Abstract: A back light module is applied to a lighting keyboard with a plurality of keyswitches and includes a lighting unit, a light guide plate, a light penetrating membrane, a light calibration layer and an adhering component. The light guide plate has an opening used to accommodate the lighting unit. The light penetrating membrane is located on the light guide plate. The light penetrating membrane is located on the light penetrating membrane and has a second contour. The adhering component is located between the light guide plate and the light penetrating membrane, and has a first contour greater than the second contour. The adhering component includes a front region, a rear region and a hollow region. The front region is covered by the light calibration layer. The rear region is partly covered or not covered by the light calibration layer. The hollow region corresponds to and is larger than the opening.

Abstract: A luminous keyboard and an optical module thereof are provided. The optical module includes a light guide sheet, a reflective film on one side of the light guide sheet, and an optical film on another side of the light guide sheet opposite to the reflective film. The optical film has a mask pattern. The mask pattern defines a light-transparent region, a light-shielding region, and a light modulation region extending from the light-shielding region to the light-transparent region. The light-transparent region allows light to pass therethrough. The light-shielding region blocks light. The light modulation region partially allows light to pass therethrough and partially blocks light, so that an average light-transmitting rate per unit area of the light modulation region is smaller than that of the light-transparent region and larger than that of the light-shielding region.

Abstract: A backlight module applicable to a key module is provided, the key module includes a plurality of key units and a baseplate, and the plurality of key units are disposed on the baseplate. The backlight module includes a lower substrate, a plurality of periphery light sources disposed along the peripheral of the baseplate, and a shielding structure. The lower substrate is disposed below the baseplate, and there is an outer edge gap between an outer edge of the baseplate and the lower substrate.
