  • Patent number: 11574778
    Abstract: An illuminated keyswitch structure with an illuminating module includes a base plate, a drive circuit board under the base plate, a spacer between the drive circuit board and the base plate, and a light-emitting part on the circuit board. The spacer has a through hole communicating with an opening of the base plate in a vertical direction. The light-emitting part is located in the through hole, and falls within a projection of the opening in the vertical direction. The light-emitting part has a top surface that is lower than or equal to a bottom surface of the base plate in the vertical direction. The structure of the illuminated keyswitch structure around the light-emitting part can keep flat by the spacer. The spacer can prevent the light-emitting part from structurally entering the opening, avoiding structural interference between the light-emitting part and other components above the base plate.

  • Publication number: 20220412541
    Abstract: An illuminating circuit structure includes a film sheet, an illuminant, a printed baseline layer, and a printed pad layer. The printed baseline layer includes a first baseline segment and a second baseline segment printed on the film sheet, while the printed pad layer includes a first bar pad and a second bar pad. For a first baseline head of the first baseline layer and a first pad head of the first bar pad, one of which extends along a first direction and the other of which extends along a second direction not parallel to the first direction. Therefore, the first baseline segment and the first bar pad achieve electrical connection despite of an existed print shifting. Similarly, a second baseline head of the second baseline layer and a second pad head of the second bar pad also can achieve electrical connection despite of an existed print shifting.

  • Publication number: 20220406977
    Abstract: A printed circuit structure includes a printed conductive pattern and a printed conductive adhesive pattern. The printed conductive pattern includes a first wire and a second wire. One of a first main contact portion of the first wire and a first main contact portion of a first adhesive of the printed conductive adhesive pattern extends in a first direction, while another thereof extends in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. With different lengths in the first direction, manufacturing errors between the first wire and the first adhesive in the first direction can be contained without affecting the connection in between. Similarly, a second main contact portion of the second wire and a second main contact portion of a second adhesive of the printed conductive adhesive pattern can also adopt the same design in the first direction to ensure the electric connection.
