  • Publication number: 20090128371
    Abstract: An electroluminescence device includes a first electroluminescence part, a second electroluminescence part, a key layer, a direction detecting module, a circuit switch module and a touch induced circuit. The first electroluminescence part and the second electroluminescence part are mounted on the same plane. The key layer is stacked above the first electroluminescence part and the second electroluminescence part. The direction detecting module detects the direction and triggers the circuit switch module to trigger the electroluminescence part to radiate based on the placement direction. The touch induced circuit detects different signals coming from the different placement direction of the pressed keys so the device can trigger the luminescence of an electroluminescence part which corresponds to the placement direction to have different display based on the different placement direction.
