  • Patent number: 11309146
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method to manufacture a keycap for keys of a keyboard, including: providing a top fabric layer and a molding film disposed beneath the top fabric layer; molding the molding film and the top fabric layer to form a film structure having an inner surface; and providing a keycap body having an upper surface, wherein the outline of the upper surface matches with that of the inner surface to form the keycap. In the present invention, the keycap is formed using the film structure and the keycap body by plastic injection or adhesion agent, the keycap is further manufactured as keys, and a symbol is engraved on the upper surface of the film structure by laser. Because the backlit device's light transmits through the keycap, users can recognize the symbols on the keys.

  • Publication number: 20200203097
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a keycap for keys of a keyboard device, wherein the keys are configured on the keyboard, and the keycap is configured on a key body. The keycap includes: a top fabric layer, a keycap body including an upper surface outline, and a molding film. The top fabric layer is used for engraving to have a symbol thereon to transmit light therethrough, wherein each symbol indicates a specific keycap. The molding film is disposed between the top fabric layer and the keycap body to render the top fabric layer in a specific shape matching with the upper surface outline. In the present invention, the problems with the symbols of the keycaps becoming dislocated, yellowed and deformed when the keycaps are manufactured with currently available techniques can be overcome, and users can clearly see the symbols on a backlit keyboard.

  • Patent number: 9610749
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a protector for a portable electronic device includes following steps. A substrate having a first surface, a second surface and an edge is provided. A first sheet having a first sheet surface and an edge portion is provided, wherein the first sheet surface includes a first hot-melt adhesive. The first surface of the substrate is caused to contact the first sheet surface, wherein the edge portion protrudes the edge. The edge portion is folded along the edge to enable the first hot-melt adhesive to contact the second surface of the substrate. A second sheet having a second sheet surface including a second hot-melt adhesive is provided. The second surface of the substrate and the edge portion is caused to contact the second sheet surface. A thermocompression bonding is performed to bond the first sheet, the second sheet and the substrate together.

  • Publication number: 20050068299
    Abstract: A two-dimensional coordinate signal input apparatus includes a scrollball module and a microprocessor. In which, the scrollball module has a scrollball and at least two wheels in contact with the scrollball for revolving thereby, so that the scrollball module is capable of detecting a rolling movement of the scrollball and outputting a rolling signal in response to an impetus caused by a user. And the microprocessor has a scrollball program defining a two-dimensional coordinate system for receiving the rolling signal from the scrollball module and transforming the rolling signal into a two-dimensional control signal to control a scrolling movement of a scrollbar of an application program. The two-dimensional coordinate system has four zones so that when the scrollball moves toward a certain zone of the four zones, the scrollbar of the application program is moved toward a certain direction corresponding to the certain zone.
