The disclosure provides a key structure, including a first electrode, a key cap, and a restoration member. The key cap is disposed on the first electrode. The restoration member is disposed between the key cap and the first electrode. The key cap or the restoration member has a second electrode. A sensing signal is generated by the second electrode with the key cap or the restoration member moving relative to the first electrode.

A backlight keyboard includes a first language keyswitch set having adjacent first and second keyswitches, a first backlight module disposed under the first language keyswitch set, and a masking sheet. The masking sheet is suitable for the backlight keyboard and a second backlight keyboard including a second backlight module and a second language keyswitch set. The first and second keyswitches on the backlight keyboard coincide with a third keyswitch in the second language keyswitch set on the second backlight keyboard. The masking sheet has a first light-exit region layout corresponding to the first, second, and third keyswitches for allowing light to be incident to symbols on the first, second, and third keyswitches. In other words, the masking sheet of the present invention can be applied to different backlight keyboards having different language keyswitch sets.

A keyboard device with a display panel including a base, a scissors feet assembly movably disposed on the base, an elastic member disposed on the base, a display panel supported by the scissors feet assembly and the elastic member, and multiple light transmittance keycaps disposed on the display panel is provided. The display panel has multiple display surfaces, multiple hollow portions, and multiple elastic portions. Each of the display surfaces is surrounded by the hollow portions, and is suspended between the hollow portions by the elastic portions. The light transmittance keycaps respectively and correspondingly cover the display surfaces.

A light adjusting structure is disposed between a light source in a device and a light exiting surface of the device. The light adjusting structure includes at least one visible light absorbing pattern defining a plurality of light-transmitting regions, and a ratio of a thickness of the at least one visible light absorbing pattern to a width of one of the light-transmitting regions is greater than or equal to 0.5, and a vertical projection of the at least one visible light absorbing pattern presents a checkerboard pattern or a mesh pattern.

A luminous key comprises a key cap, a bottom plate, a first circuit component and a second circuit component. The key cap comprises a body, an extension part and a light exiting part. The extension part is disposed at the periphery of the body. The light exiting part is disposed on the body. The bottom plate has a through hole. The first circuit component has a first layer, a second layer and a light emitting unit. The first layer is disposed on the second layer. The light emitting unit is disposed between the first layer and the second layer, and the light emitting unit is corresponding to the through hole. The second circuit component is disposed between the key cap and the bottom plate. A lifting structure is disposed between the key cap and the bottom plate. Light adjusting structures define a light adjusting region. An orthographic projection of the light adjusting region towards the second layer covers at least a portion of the light emitting unit.

An electronic device is provided here, which includes a casing, a keycap and a keyboard backlight module. The casing has a first opening. The keycap is disposed corresponding to the first opening, and a gap is formed between the keycap and a periphery of the first opening. The keyboard backlight module includes a shielding layer, the shielding layer includes a light transmission area corresponding to the first opening and a light block portion, and the light block portion is located in the light transmission area and covers a region where at least one light path passes through the gap and intersects the light transmission area through.

Embodiments are directed to a keyboard or other input structure having a diaphragm that controls the illumination of a perimeter of a keycap. In one aspect, the keyboard includes a dome configured to buckle in response to a depression of a keycap. A support structure may support the keycap above the dome. A light source may be positioned below the keycap and configured to illuminate one or more illuminable symbols defined on a top surface. A diaphragm may be positioned above the light source and have a barrier portion extending from a perimeter of the keycap. The barrier portion may be configured to control illumination of the perimeter of the light source, including substantially preventing the illumination of the perimeter in order to mask or conceal an illuminated halo around the keycap.

Light adjusting structures define a light adjusting region. An orthographic projection of the light adjusting region towards the second layer covers at least a portion of the light emitting unit.

A luminous keycap includes a base made of a light-transmitting material and a transparent cover, wherein the base is provided with a first light-shielding layer and the top surface thereof is provided with a first light-transmitting area, and the inner surface of the cover is provided with a second light-shielding layer. The surface of the second light-shielding layer directly opposite to the first light-transmitting area is engraved with a second light-transmitting area. The cover is correspondingly fixed onto the base. The method of manufacturing the same is also described. The keycap and the manufacturing method thereof achieve the goal that its user can accurately and swiftly use the keyboard in a dark environment. It solves the problem that the user often touches characters and/or patterns so often that they are worn away. It has a better touch, and the keycaps have a longer lifetime.
