Harsh environment key panel and bezel structures
Harsh environment key panel and bezel structures for a user interface device are disclosed. In embodiments, a user interface device includes a printed board, a switch mounted to the printed board, and a key panel disposed upon the printed board. The key panel includes a plurality of printed device layers forming a bezel, a button configured to actuate the switch, and a deformable interface between the bezel and the button. The plurality of printed device layers can include at least one continuous printed device layer that forms portions of the bezel, the button, and the deformable interface. The continuous printed device layer may include at least one rigid device material that forms a portion of the bezel and a portion of the button and a deformable device material that forms a portion of the deformable interface between the bezel and the button.
CONTROL DEVICE
A control device is provided. A key structure of the control device includes a keycap, an optical film layer and a membrane switch. A protrusion structure is formed on the optical film layer or the membrane switch. When the keycap is pressed down by the user, the arrangement of the protrusion structure can facilitate the user to trigger the underlying membrane switch more precisely.

Backlight control system having at least one movable light sheet that includes at least one light-emitting unit
A backlight control system includes a keyboard device and a computing device. The keyboard device includes a fixed light sheet, at least one movable light sheet, a light guide module and a key module. The computing device includes a processing unit. The movable light sheet is detachably and electrically connected with the fixed circuit board. The fixed light sheet projects a first light beam to plural keys of the key module through the light guide module. In a special scenario mode, the processing unit drives the movable light sheet to project a second light beam to at least one special key of the key module.

Keycaps having reduced thickness
An illuminated glass keycap having a glyph diffuser layer that may diffuse light through a glyph window opened in a background layer. The background layer may be opaque and the glyph window may be transparent. The keycap is adhered to a scissor mechanism positioned above electrical switch circuitry. Included within, below, or adjacent to the scissor mechanism may be one or more light sources positioned to emit light through the keycap, around the perimeter of the keycap, and/or through the background layer.
