Patent number: 9941074Abstract: A key structure comprises a substrate, a membrane circuit disposed on the substrate, a waterproof structure disposed on the membrane circuit, a keycap, a conduction switch and a scissors structure. The waterproof structure includes a waterproof plate and a waterproof wall with a through hole. The waterproof wall surrounds the through hole and extends opposite to the membrane circuit. An end of the conduction switch passes through the through hole to be disposed on the membrane circuit, and the other end of the conduction switch protrudes from the waterproof wall to be connected to the keycap. The scissors structure includes a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion is pivotally connected to the keycap, and the second end portion is pivotally connected to the waterproof wall for the keycap to move up and down relatively to the membrane circuit.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2016Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: ASUSTEK COMPUTER INC.Inventor: Ya-Chun Tu

Publication number: 20130005055Abstract: A light-emitting diode (LED) module and an LED packaging method. As the LED module is packaged under the consideration of candela distribution, each of the lead frames of the LED chips packaged in the LED module is bended for tilting the LED chips by different angles to exhibit various lighting effects. Meanwhile, in the LED packaging method, a plurality of LED chips can be loaded on board rapidly and aligned by one operation to result in less deviation in the candela distribution curve.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2012Publication date: January 3, 2013Applicant: INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTEInventors: Jian-Shian Lin, Chieh-Lung Lai, Hsiu-Jen Lin, Weng-Jung Lu, Yi-Ping Huang, Ya-Chun Tu
