The light emitting units is disposed on the circuit board. The light guide plates are disposed on the circuit board and are separated from each other. The light emitting units and their corresponding light guide plates are disposed under the key structures for each key structure.

A key structure with display panel, including a display panel, a transparent keycap, and a scissors assembly, is provided. The transparent keycap is disposed above the display panel. An image generated by the display panel is projected out of the key structure through the transparent keycap. The scissors assembly is disposed between the display panel and the transparent keycap and exposes a display surface of the display panel.

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.

An illumination switch device includes a push button, a plurality of indicator lenses, a holder, a detector, a plurality of light emitters, and a base. The push button has an internal space and an opening. Each indicator lens has a columnar shape. The indicator lenses are juxtaposed in the internal space of the push button. The holder holds the push button such that the push button is movable in a longitudinal direction of each indicator lens. The detector detects a displacement of the push button in the longitudinal direction. The light emitters are respectively disposed opposite one ends of the indicator lenses in the longitudinal direction. The base is made of an opaque resin, and covers side faces of the indicator lenses while being in tight contact with the side faces. The base is integrated with the indicator lenses.

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.

A push-button for a game machine which is mounted on the game machine includes an operation key configured to accept a press, a side surface portion having translucency and provided in a direction vertical to a pressing direction of the operation key as viewed from the operation key, a light source configured to apply light in a direction parallel to the pressing direction, and a light guiding portion configured to guide light applied from the light source. The light guiding portion includes a first reflective structure configured to reflect at least a part of the light applied from the light source, and a second reflective structure configured to reflect at least a part of the light reflected by the first reflective structure toward the side surface portion.

A seamless button including a guiding element, a movable actuating element and a switch located on a mounting plate. The movable actuating element is made of elastic material with a massive middle shaft spaced from the inner walls of the chamber by an air gap. It has an upper actuating surface and crimp surrounding the actuating surface above the air gap. It also has a profile area at the outer circumference of the movement crimp, where the horizontally outwardly extending portion of the profile area rests on top of the outer wall, the downwardly extending portion of the profile area rests on the outside of the outer profile edge and the protrusion rests on the pedestal covering it at least partially. A seamless multi-button is also disclosed, with a method for manufacturing seamless buttons.

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.

A unit type backlight module including a circuit board, a plurality of light emitting units and a plurality of light guide plates is provided. The circuit board is disposed under the key structures. The light emitting units is disposed on the circuit board. The light guide plates are disposed on the circuit board and are separated from each other. The light emitting units and their corresponding light guide plates are disposed under the key structures for each key structure.

An input device includes a switch, light sources, and a light guide body. The switch is configured to switch between ON and OFF by being pressed. The light sources include a first light source and a second light source disposed at a position different from a position of the first light source. The light guide body guides a light emitted from the light sources in an opposite direction opposite from a pressing direction of the switch. The light guide body includes an output section, a first light guide leg section, and a second light guide leg section. The output section outputs the light emitted from the light sources in the opposite direction. The first light guide leg section is connected to the output section and guides the first light emitted by the first light source to the output section. The second light guide leg section is connected to the output section and guides the second light emitted by the second light source to output section. The output section includes a first design configured to emit light by reflecting the first light in the opposite direction and a second design configured to emit light by reflecting the second light in the opposite direction.
