摘要： A light emitting key structure is provided. The key structure includes a base, a reflective sheet, a circuit board, an elastic member, a linkage mechanism, and a key cap sequentially disposed one on another in order. The reflective sheet is disposed on the base. The circuit board is made of a light guide material. At least one light source is bonded to a lateral side of the circuit board. The circuit board, together with the light source bonded to the lateral side thereof is disposed on the reflective sheet. The elastic member is directly coupled to the circuit board. The key cap is featured with a light transmission characteristic. Therefore, in operation, the light emitted from the light source can be directly guided into the circuit board, and then outputted from the light transmissive key cap, thus achieving the light emitting effect.

摘要： A key switch arrangement is able to accomplish the compatibility with a normal keyboard in respect of profile without increasing the height of the keyboard and reduce the cost without adding new members for a light source. The key switch arrangement includes a key-top having an optically transparent key-top having a cutout letter part formed thereon, an optically transparent membrane sheet having a contact, an optically transparent plate member arranged under the membrane sheet, and a light source arranged in the membrane sheet. The light source emits light to pass the plate member and the membrane sheet to illuminate the cutout letter part on the key-top.

摘要： Two transparent conductive panels are separated by a perimeter of elastic adhesive that forms a sealed gap in which transparent insulative fluid is interposed. The fluid has a refraction index close to that of the panels to improve light transmittance through the device. The small width of the gap improves response time and prevents formation of a vacuum in the gap. The panels are connected to a position detection circuit that determines coordinate position of an applied pressure point. Spacers in the gap reduce the chance of accidental large-area contact which would result in an erroneous position command. The elasticity of the adhesive and the small gap width provide better temperature variation tolerance in addition to improved consistency and reliability of operation.

摘要翻译： 两个透明导电板由弹性粘合剂的周边分开，形成密封间隙，其中插入有透明绝缘流体。 流体的折射率接近面板的折射率，以提高通过该装置的透光率。 间隙的小宽度改善了响应时间并且防止了间隙中形成真空。 面板连接到确定所施加的压力点的坐标位置的位置检测电路。 间隙中的间隔减少意外的大面积接触的机会，这将导致错误的位置命令。 粘合剂的弹性和小间隙宽度提供了更好的温度变化公差，同时提高了操作的一致性和可靠性。

摘要： An apparatus front panel has a mechanical user interface in the form of a mechanically controllable regulation and setting elements on the face of the front panel. The front panel is manufactured at least in part from a transparent material in which electrical conductors and components are arranged in order to electrically connect the controllable regulation and setting elements from the face of the front panel with the electrical equipment present in the apparatus via a front panel connection. The front panel is constructed so that it can be attached at least in part to a substantially flat indicia-bearing element such as in front of a screen, in front of a display, or over a printed base or the like.

摘要： Fine particles, of predetermined composition and sized to be within a predetermined size range, are deposited on, and thereafter adhere in random distribution to, one of two adjacent surfaces, serving to keep the surfaces uniformly spaced apart except when an external force causes them to make local contact. The particles are conveniently applied in the form of a spray of a suspension of particles and a fluid carrier material, preferably water with alumina particles, or an aqueous solution of a chloride salt of an alkaline earth metal such as calcium, potassium or sodium when small glass beads are used as the particles. Brown alumina particles (approximately 96% Al.sub.2 O.sub.3) in the size range 3-50 microns, so utilized, are found well suited as parallel surface spacers in optically transparent touch sensitive overlay (TSO) panels. Particle distribution densities in the range 300-1,000 particles per inch are satisfactory for TSO panels, with the higher particle density requiring a higher actuation pressure to be applied.

摘要： An apparatus for selective backlighting individual transluscent keys of a terminal keyboard includes a horizontal, double-sided printed circuit board having a number of right angle LEDs equal to the number of backlit keys mounted on its bottom surface. A plurality of clearance holes in the printed circuit board admit a plurality of vertical light pipes that are integral with a transparent substrate. Integral alignment bosses on a bottom surface of the substrate fit precisely in corresponding holes of the printed circuit board. Each light pipe has a rectangular cross section and a 45 degree inclined bottom surface. A horizontal light beam emitted by a LED passes through a vertical wall of a light pipe, strikes its inclined bottom surface, and is reflected up through the light pipe into a recess within a key. The substrate supports a rubber sheet in which the keys are molded and a switch contact layer with printed conductors thereon. Depression of a key presses a conductive shorting pad against the printed conductors, actuating a switch.
