  • Patent number: 12254138
    Abstract: A method for calibrating a functional icon display position of a control device is provided. The control device includes a transparent key and a display panel. The method includes the following steps. Firstly, an image capturing device is used to photograph a functional icon, and thus a real spatial relationship of the functional icon in a visible region of the transparent key is obtained. Then, a position offset amount is obtained according to a result of comparing the real spatial relationship with a reference spatial relationship. If the position offset amount is larger than the enable calibration threshold value, a calibrated icon display start coordinate position is obtained according to the position offset amount. The present invention also provides a control device using the calibrating method.

  • Patent number: 11810735
    Abstract: A control device includes a display panel and plural key structures. Each key structure includes a keycap, an optical film layer, an elastic element, plural raised structures and a membrane switch. The optical film layer includes a light-transmissible region and a supporting region. The plural raised structures are formed on the supporting region and arranged around the light-transmissible region. The membrane switch includes an upper film layer and a lower film layer. Moreover, a light beam emitted by the display panel is transmitted upwardly through a second opening of the lower film layer, a first opening of the upper film layer, the light-transmissible region, a hollow part of the elastic element and the keycap. When the keycap is pressed down, the first circuit contact point of the upper film layer and the corresponding second circuit contact point of the lower film layer are contacted with each other.
