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: 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 touchpad includes a panel, a light guide layer and a circuit board. The panel includes a first light transmitting region and a second light transmitting region. The light guide layer includes a first light guide region and a second light guide region. The circuit board includes a controller, a touch module, a first light source and a second light source. The controller controls the first light source to emit light, such that the first light guide region guides the light emitted by the first light source to the first light transmitting region. When the touch module senses that the first light transmitting region is touched, the controller controls the second light source to emit light, such that the second light guide region guides the light emitted by the second light source to the second light transmitting region.
