KEYBOARD DEVICE WITH DISPLAY PANEL
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.
Detachable mechanical-based keyboard for a light sensitive keyboard
In some examples, a first keyboard includes a plurality of light-sensing electrodes, where individual ones of the light-sensing electrodes correspond to individual keys of the first keyboard. The first keyboard includes a microprocessor electrically coupled to individual ones of the light-sensing electrodes. A second keyboard comprised of light-transmitting material may be placed on top of the first keyboard. The second keyboard may include a plurality of keys, with individual keys including a keycap having opaque material attached to a bottom surface and a scissors mechanism to lower the opaque material when a predetermined amount of pressure is applied to the keycap. The microprocessor is configured to perform operations including determining that the opaque material is obstructing light to a first particular light-sensing electrode of the plurality of light-sensing electrodes and sending a signal indicating a selection of a first key corresponding to the first particular light-sensing electrode.

Key light blockers with bellows
In an example, a light blocker may comprise a bellow to extend from an outer edge of a key to an inner edge of a key window to span a key gap in between the key and the key window. The bellow may extend along a periphery of the key, and the bellow may block light originating from under the key from passing through the key gap.
LUMINOUS KEYBOARD
This application provides a luminous keyboard, including a plurality of keys, a plurality of keys, a light guide plate, and a reflector. Each of the keys includes a rubber dome, where the rubber dome is made of a translucent material doped with a plurality of light-diffusion particles, and when the rubber dome is irradiated by a light ray, a part of the light ray is diffused when traveling upward through the rubber dome, and the other part of the light ray is reflected downward by the rubber dome to the reflector, then, is reflected upward, and is diffused when passing by a plurality of light diffusion protrusions of the light guide plate, to be emitted outward through the keys.
LUMINOUS KEYBOARD
A luminous keyboard includes a key module, a light guide plate, a top-view light-emitting element and a light-shading element. The top-view light-emitting element emits a light beam. The light guide plate is located under the key module. The top-view light-emitting element is located under the light guide plate. A light-outputting surface of the top-view light-emitting element is contacted with the light guide plate. The light-shading element is disposed on the light guide plate for shading the light beam. A portion of the light-shading element is inserted into the light guide plate opening and formed as a reflective part in the light guide plate opening. After the light beam is projected on the reflective part and reflected by the reflective part, the light beam is transferred within the light guide plate and projected to the key module.
Luminous keyboard
The present invention relates to a luminous keyboard, including a key, a support plate, a switch circuit board, a light guide plate, and a direct-type light emitting element capable of generating a beam. The support plate is located below the key, and the switch circuit board is disposed on the support plate. The light guide plate is located below the support plate and includes a concave structure, and the concave structure forms a reflective surface inside the light guide plate. The direct-type light emitting element is located below the concave structure. When the beam enters the light guide plate, the beam is reflected by the reflective surface to be fully reflected in the light guide plate, and the light guide plate guides the beam to be projected to a peripheral area of a key.
Illuminated keypad module with limited light leakage
A keypad module, including a bottom plate, a circuit film, a plurality of barricades, an elastic body, a scissor mechanism and a keycap. The circuit film is disposed on the bottom plate and includes a switch. The barricades are disposed upright on the circuit film and surrounds the switch. The elastic body is disposed on the switch. The scissor mechanism is fixed on the bottom plate and disposed at a position close to the switch on the circuit film. The keycap is fixed on the scissor mechanism and covers the switch, the elastic body, the scissor mechanism and the barricades.
Remote fuse operation indicator assemblies and related systems and methods
A fuse operation indicator assembly includes an elongate tube having first and second ends, a fuse striker receiving member at the first end of the tube and configured to receive a fuse striker, an actuating member at the second end of the tube and configured to be actuated responsive to the fuse striker member, and a detector configured to detect actuation of the actuating member.
