Abstract: A keyboard equipped with illuminated keycaps mainly includes a keyboard portion and a plurality of lighting units. The keyboard portion includes a circuit board with a plurality of keyboard command portions, a plurality of keycaps respectively corresponding to the keyboard command portions and a plurality of elastic support members located between the circuit board and keycaps are depressed by the keycaps to trigger the keyboard command portions. The keycaps and elastic support members form a light emitting zone. The lighting units correspond respectively to each of the keycaps. Each of the lighting units includes a light emitting chip located on the circuit board, a package layer covering the light emitting chip and a light mask layer locally disposed on the package layer to mask light from the light emitting chip towards the abutting keycap such that the light is confined to generate illumination merely in the light emitting zone.

Abstract: An illuminated keyboard is equipped with a thin key module which includes a support frame with multiple keycap installation apertures and multiple keycaps corresponding to the keycap installation apertures. Each keycap has at least three movable arms each is connected between the first wall of one side of the keycap and the second wall of the keycap installation aperture. The support frame, keycaps and movable arms are integrally formed by injection. The movable arm has a first connecting section connected to the keycap and a second connecting section connected to the first connecting section at a first bend spot. The second connecting section is extended between the keycap and support frame and connected to the keycap installation aperture. In the illuminated keyboard, light is generated by a lighting unit and transmitted through a light guide plate or light guide circuit board to project to the keycaps for illumination.
