  • Publication number: 20100300855
    Abstract: A light guidance illuminating keyboard utilizes plural press-key devices and a base plate having plural through-holes to generate a control signal to an electronic device when a user presses down the press-key devices. A back surface of the base plate is a light guide plate on which is defined into at least one through-hole which forms an independent optical path. A side of the light guide plate is a light emitting element. When the light emitting element produces light, the light is reflected onto the through-holes on the base plate through the light guide plate and penetrates out of the through-holes, such that the press-key devices can manifest various visual effects according to the light produced by the light emitting element.

  • Patent number: 6656668
    Abstract: A process method of using excimer laser for forming micro spherical and non-spherical polymeric structure array includes a photomask which has a selected curved pattern formed thereon. The curved pattern has non-constant widths along a straight line direction. An excimer laser beam source is deployed to project through the photomask on a substrate coated with a polymeric material while the substrate is moving in a direction normal to the straight line direction for the polymeric material to receive laser beam projection with different time period. The polymeric material thus may be etched to different depth to form a three dimensional pattern desired. By projecting and etching the polymeric material two times at different directions or through different photomask patterns, a sphere like or non-sphere like surface of micro array structure may be obtained.

  • Patent number: 5972193
    Abstract: The present invention uses a glass to act as a substrate. A stencil layer is patterned on the top surface of the substrate. Successively, a copper layer is deposited over the substrate. Next step is to remove the stencil layer. A negative photoresist layer is formed on the copper layer. A negative photoresist layer is processed using a backside exposure of the resist through the transparent substrate. The backside exposure technique uses the self-aligning, conductive copper layer as a mask. A plurality of trenches are then created in the photoresist layer and a second copper layer is electroplated in the trenches to form the planar coils.
