    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.

    Abstract: A backlight module configured to illuminate at least one key cap of a lighting keyboard. The backlight module includes a lighting board, a light emitting unit and a light guide plate. The lighting board has a first reflective layer, a lighting circuit and two aligned micro-structure regions, all three at least partially being layered in parallel with each other. The two micro-structure regions reflect lights and are separated by the lighting circuit. The light emitting unit includes plural color dies connecting electrically with the lighting circuit. The light guide plate has a light guide hole for accommodating the light emitting unit. The color dies of the light emitting unit are aligned linearly, while the two micro-structure regions of the lighting board are aligned in perpendicular to the linearly-aligned color dies, with the micro-structure regions disposed at opposite sides the light emitting unit.

    Abstract: An illuminated keyswitch structure and an illuminating module thereof are provided. A base plate has an opening. The illuminating module includes a drive circuit board, having a face reflector and at least one dot reflector disposed thereon, a spacer adhered on the drive circuit board and having a through hole and an adhesive-less clearance fringe at least partially surrounding the through hole, a light-emitting part disposed on the drive circuit board and proximate to the face reflector and the dot reflector, and a translucent covering structure covering above the light-emitting part and including a reflective layer. The reflective layer reflects off light from the light-emitting part, and the face reflector and/or the at least one dot reflector reflect light to pass through the through hole of the spacer and then illuminate upward through the translucent covering structure and further through the opening of the base plate.

    Abstract: A backlit module for a backlit keyboard is provided. The backlit module includes a lighting board. The lighting board includes a substrate and an electronic device layer. The electronic device layer is disposed on the substrate. The electronic device layer includes a plurality of key circuit groups. Each of the key circuit groups corresponds to a key group of the backlit keyboard, and includes one or more light sources and a resistor. When the key circuit group includes a plurality of light sources, the light sources are arranged in parallel. The one or more light sources correspond to one or more key of the key group. The resistor is arranged in series with the one or more light sources.

    Abstract: A lighting keyboard includes a backlight module and at least one keyswitch. The backlight module includes a lighting unit, a light guide panel, and a lighting board for illuminating a keycap of the keyswitch. The light guide panel includes a panel hole to accommodate the lighting unit. The light guide panel further includes plural slots intervally surrounding the lighting unit. The lighting board includes a micro-structure region facing toward the light guide panel. Each of the slots of the light guide panel has a bulge portion protruding to the lighting unit. At two sides of the bulge portion, each of the slots forms two slots walls with an obtuse angle, thereby expanding the transmitting angle for the multi-color lights from the lighting unit and enhancing the light-mixing uniformity while illuminating the keycap.

    Abstract: An illuminated keyswitch structure 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 sidewall of the through hole is opaque. 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.

    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.
