Please refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 at the same time, the keycap 102 has symbols (or characters, not shown), and the symbols can be any symbols required by the keyboard function, such as but not limited to English words, numbers , special symbols, etc. The keycap 102 can be made of translucent material, or the symbol (or character) of the keycap 102 has a semi-translucent design. Therefore, the light passing through the top surface of the light guide plate 7 can light up the symbol for the user to use. watch. When the light-emitting element 62 is driven, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 62 enters the light guide plate 7 for total reflection and propagation. The structure 2 is guided towards the keycap 102, and the light finally emerges from all or part of the surface 102a of the keycap 102 and from the lower periphery of the frame 102b, thereby making the characters on the surface 102a of the keycap 102 bright and easy to identify, and The light emitted from the lower periphery of the frame 102 b forms a halo around the keycaps 102 , which makes it easier for the user to identify and distinguish individual keycaps 102 . As mentioned above, the microstructure 2 is used to guide the light entering the light guide plate 7 toward the keycap 102 . Therefore, if the microstructure 2 completely fills the single-key light guide area 1, the light will be guided out of the light. After all the light rays are guided out of the light, except for the first one closest to the light-emitting element 62 In addition to the high brightness of the first key 101, the light of the second key 101 behind the original light path (the second key 101 is located around the first key 101) will be reduced, so that the brightness of the second key 101 will be significantly excessive. dark, causing the brightness of each key 101 on the keyboard 100 to be obviously bright and uneven. FIG. 1 is a schematic exploded perspective view of the light-emitting keyboard 100, showing a backlight module 200 of the light-emitting keyboard 100, FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional schematic view of the light-emitting keyboard 100, the backlight module 200 includes a light-emitting element 62, a circuit board 66 and a light guide plate 7 (detailed later), FIG. 3 is a schematic top view of the backlight module 200 corresponding to a single keycap 102 , the dotted line is a perspective state, and the two-dot chain line is a custom virtual line, so that a plurality of microstructures 2 and light-emitting elements 62 are displayed. relative position.

Referring again to FIGS. 2 to 4 , in some embodiments, a plurality of microscopic structures of the first sub-light guide area 11 , the third sub-light guide area 13 , the seventh sub-light guide area 17 and the ninth sub-light guide area 19 The light emitting area 2a of the structure 2 can make the light emitting light cover the surface 102a and the frame 102b of the key 101, but only part of the light is formed by the first sub-light-guiding area 11, the third sub-light-guiding area 13, the seventh sub-light-guiding area 17 and the The light guided by the plurality of microstructures 2 in the ninth sub-light guide area 19 is emitted toward the center of the surface 102a of the key 101. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of uneven brightness in the surface 102a of the key 101, the center is dark and the outer periphery is bright. The fifth sub-light-guiding area 15 is provided with a plurality of microstructures 2 , thereby reinforcing the central position of the surface 102 a of the key 101 to emit light. Because the plurality of microstructures 2 of the fifth sub-light guide region 15 are only for reinforcing Therefore, when the sum of the light emitting areas 2a of the plurality of microstructures 2 in the fifth sub-light guide area 15 is the fifth total light emitting area, the fifth total light emitting area is smaller than the first and third light emitting areas. , the seventh total light emitting area or the ninth total light emitting area, that is, the first total light emitting area, the third total light emitting area, the seventh total light emitting area or the ninth total light emitting area is greater than the fifth total light emitting area. .
