Abstract: A luminous keyboard with a gaming function includes a gaming program, plural keys, plural light-emitting elements and a control unit. When one of the plural keys is pressed down, a corresponding pressing signal is generated. When one of the plural light-emitting elements is turned on to emit a light beam, the corresponding key is illuminated. The control unit is connected with the plural keys, the plural light-emitting elements and the gaming program. The control unit turns on or turns off the plural light-emitting elements according to settings of the gaming program. Alternatively, the control unit turns off the light-emitting element corresponding to the illuminated key when the control unit receives the pressing signal corresponding to the illuminated key. In such way, the luminous keyboard can be used to play a game.

Abstract: A method for assembling a fingerprint identification module is provided. During the process of cutting the sensing strip, the thin junction slices between the fingerprint sensors are retained. Consequently, the size of the top surface of the fingerprint sensor is close to a predetermined size. After the thin junction slices are cut, the concave structures are formed on the bottom surfaces of the fingerprint sensors. Consequently, the size of the bottom surface of the fingerprint sensor is smaller than the size of the top surface of the fingerprint sensor. Even if the cutting skew is generated during the cutting process, the fingerprint sensor can pass the size test. Consequently, the production efficiency is enhanced.

Moreover, by controlling the relay, the connection between the master computer and the under-test product is switched to the connection between the slave computer and the under-test product. Consequently, the under-test product is tested by the slave computer.

The optical tunnel structure is located under the press plate and located over the image pickup assembly.

Consequently, the light beam is transferred between the light-guiding diffusion layer and the light-collecting reflective layer. After the light beam is irradiated on the press plate through the optical tunnel structure, the light beam is reflected to the image pickup assembly.
