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.

A switch device includes a display device including a polarization plate including a first polarization layer that transmits a linear polarization component oscillating in a first direction, and a second polarization layer that transmits a linear polarization component oscillating in a second direction, the first and second polarization layers being stacked directly on top of one another so that the first direction is orthogonal to the second direction, a first light source unit that outputs the linear polarization component oscillating in the first direction, and a second light source unit that outputs the linear polarization component oscillating in the second direction, a switch section that performs switching between the light emitting state and the non-light emitting state of the first and second light source units, and an operating section that operates the switch section, wherein the polarization plate is provided in the operating section.

Keycaps for keyboards that have transparent top portions have a set of layered components to define a top surface that provides key definition by curvature, texture, ridges, or other external structural features. Other portions of the keycaps define a glyph or support structure for the top layer. Features such as angle filters and partially reflective materials are implemented to improve the visibility, contrast, and reflectivity of the keycaps. Multiple methods are used to bend or otherwise modify rigid transparent materials such as glass in order to add surface features and to improve aesthetics of the keycaps of a keyboard.

A luminous keyboard comprises a key assembly, a thin-film switch circuit board assembly, a base plate and a light guide plate. The key assembly is disposed on the thin-film switch circuit board assembly. The thin-film switch circuit board assembly is disposed on the base plate. The base plate is disposed on the light guide plate. The base plate and the light guide plate together form an aperture structure. The thin-film switch circuit board assembly includes a thin-film switch circuit board and a light-emitting unit. The thin-film switch circuit board forms a protrusion protruding toward the aperture structure. The light-emitting unit is disposed at the bottom surface of the protrusion and extends downward such that a lower end of the light-emitting unit is lower than a lower surface of the base plate so that the light-emitting unit emits light into the light guide plate directly.

A key structure, including a keycap, a movable mechanism, a support plate, a circuit board, and an indicator light-emitting element. The support plate and the movable mechanism pivotally connected to the support plate are disposed above the circuit board. The circuit board has a groove, and the indicator light-emitting element is embedded in the groove and is aligned with the keycap. The indicator light-emitting element emits light upward. The light may be directly emitted into the movable mechanism and is subsequently emitted outward through a light hole of the keycap.

The present invention provides a luminous keyboard, including: at least one key cap; a support plate; a support component, connected to the key cap and the support plate and capable of guiding the key cap to vertically move relative to the support plate; a thin film circuit board, disposed on the support plate; at least one light emitting component, configured to emit a light ray to the key cap; and a shield, covering the light emitting component, where there is a gap between the shield and the light emitting component, and the shield is provided with a diffraction grating at a position where the light ray passes through the shield.
