  • Publication number: 20140204556
    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.

  • Publication number: 20140174900
    Abstract: A keyswitch structure includes a base plate, a keycap, a lift mechanism, and a balance link. The lift mechanism connects between the keycap and the base plate such that the keycap can move up and down relative to the base plate. The balance link is formed substantially in a U-shaped profile. The middle portion thereof is rotatably disposed on the base plate; the two ends thereof are respectively formed in an L-shaped profile and rotatably inserted into two slot structures on the keycap or the lift mechanism or both. Compared with a conventional balance link formed in an n-shaped profile connecting a keycap and a base plate, the invention provides more diverse structural connections, conducive to structural miniaturization. Furthermore, a support of the lift mechanism includes a protrusion capable of being blocked by a limitation structure disposed on the base plate for controlling the rotation angle of the support.

  • Publication number: 20140151212
    Abstract: A keyboard includes a non-conductive board, a plurality of keyswitches, and a capacitive touch sensing sheet. The plurality of keyswitches is disposed on the non-conductive board. Each keyswitch includes a keycap and a support device. The support device is connected to the keycap and the non-conductive board so as to make the keycap movable between a pressing position and a non-pressing position relative to the non-conductive board. The capacitive touch sensing sheet is disposed under the non-conductive board for providing a cursor signal to a computer device.

  • Publication number: 20140133182
    Abstract: A light guide plate structure includes a light guide plate, a first medium layer, a micro structure, a second medium layer, and a reflection layer. The light guide plate has a light exit surface and a bottom surface opposite to the light exit surface. The first medium layer is formed on the light exit surface. The micro structure is formed on the bottom surface for redirecting light inside the light guide plate to emit from the light exit surface. The second medium layer is formed on the micro structure. The refractive index of the first medium layer and the refractive index of the second medium layer are less than the refractive index of the light guide plate but greater than the refractive index of air. The reflection layer is formed on the second medium layer for reflecting light inside the light guide plate to emit from the light exit surface.
