It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, owing to defining two symbol display areas (i.e. the first symbol display areas 21 and the second symbol display areas 22) on transparent keycap body 11, therefore polychrome transparent keycap as shown in Figure 6 can show color two kinds different in use simultaneously.In practical operation, it is also possible to define three or above symbol display areas on transparent key caps body 11, if the color shown by each symbol display areas is different from, then polychrome transparent keycap can show three or more color simultaneously.
Assume that on transparent key caps body 11, definition has three symbol display areas, except Chinese character coding input method character and English input method character, for instance also there is digital character.The first symbol display areas, the second symbol display areas and the 3rd symbol display areas can be defined on transparent key caps body when making keycap, can also arranging three kinds of printing opacity color layers varied in color and come corresponding with three kinds of characters, manufacture method is similar with the manufacture method of two symbol display areas.Such as: prior to transparent key caps body arranges the first printing opacity color layers and the 3rd printing opacity color layers, wherein the first printing opacity color layers at least covers the precalculated position of the first symbol display areas, but do not cover the precalculated position of the second symbol display areas, also the precalculated position of the 3rd symbol display areas is not covered, and the 3rd printing opacity color layers at least covers the precalculated position of the 3rd symbol display areas, but do not cover the precalculated position of the first symbol display areas, also do not cover the precalculated position of the second symbol display areas;Then providing the first dark layer and the 3rd dark layer, the first dark layer only covers the precalculated position of the first symbol display areas, and the 3rd dark layer only covers the precalculated position of the 3rd symbol display areas;Then providing the second printing opacity color layers and the second dark layer, the second printing opacity color layers covers transparent key caps body, the first dark layer and the second dark layer, and the second dark layer covers the second printing opacity color layers;Mode finally by laser engraving exposes the first printing opacity color layers, the second printing opacity color layers and the 3rd printing opacity color layers and forms the first symbol display areas, the second symbol display areas and the 3rd symbol display areas respectively.
It should be noted that, when transparent key caps body defines three and above symbol display areas, transparent keycap motility in manufacturing process is higher, the mode that each printing opacity color layers is arranged is different, the production method of its correspondence will be different, above-mentioned production method is one of which, user can determine the quantity of each printing opacity color layers, set-up mode and manufacture method voluntarily, meet the light appeared from each symbol display areas when transparent keycap completes and all extend only through single printing opacity color layers, be not limited with above-mentioned.
It addition, in conjunction with shown in Fig. 3 a and Fig. 4 d, owing to the upper surface of the transparent key caps body 11 before processing is smooth surface, add that double-deck color lump 12 is provided only on the first symbol display areas 21, but not the upper surface of whole transparent key caps body 11.The upper surface thus resulting in the second dark layer 131 has the difference in height being denoted as H, so can affect the visual appearance of last transparent keycap finished product.In order to further enhance visual appearance, can be improved by following two kinds of structural designs in the present invention:
The first structural design: refer to Fig. 2 b and the top view of the second embodiment that Fig. 3 b, Fig. 2 b is transparent key caps body in the present invention;Fig. 3 b is along Fig. 2 b center line BB profile cut off.As shown in Fig. 2 b and Fig. 3 b, in transparent key caps body 11 upper surface, it is pre-formed groove 111 corresponding to double-deck color lump 12 pre-position, the Partial Height of double-deck color lump 12 is compensated by this groove 111 degree of depth, in order to reducing the difference in height that the second dark layer 131 is finally caused by double-deck color lump 12, namely reduce by the first printing opacity color layers 122 and protrude the degree of transparent key caps body 11 upper horizontal surface.As shown in Figure 2 b, groove 111 may be disposed on transparent keycap 11 in order to show the precalculated position of first symbol display areas 21 of Chinese character coding input method character " ㄎ ", " wood ", " day ".Refer to the top view of the 3rd embodiment that Fig. 2 c, Fig. 2 c is transparent key caps body in the present invention.As shown in Figure 2 c, with Fig. 2 b on the contrary, if the symbol display areas in order to represent English input method character " D " is defined the first symbol display areas 21, then groove 111 may also set up on transparent keycap 11 in order to represent the precalculated position of the first symbol display areas 21 of English input method character " D ".User can select according to actual needs voluntarily.
The second structural design: as shown in Fig. 4 b to Fig. 4 d, the double-deck color lump 12 of the present invention can have the section that class is trapezoidal, the contiguous transparent key caps body 11 in described trapezoidal long limit, guides the second dark layer 131 downward obliquely by trapezoidal skew back limit, and the periphery towards double-deck color lump 12 extends.In other words, it is cube projection that double-deck color lump 12 protrudes transparent key caps body 11 upper horizontal surface portions, four limits of this cube projection all stretch out and form the smooth face of slope that is highly gradually lowered, the sectional area making this cube projection is from top to bottom gradually increased, make the polychrome transparent keycap that the present invention makes, as it is shown in fig. 7, structure proximate in upper surface is smooth but tower-like pedestal that side is face of slope, the face of slope of aforementioned tower-like pedestal can maintain fixed elevation or ease up gradually.
By on take off the first structural design, the difference in height that the second dark layer 131 upper surface occurs can be reduced, by on take off the second structural design, by face of slope, the difference in height that the second dark layer 131 upper surface occurs can be slowed down, allow the more difficult difference in height observing that the second dark layer 131 is caused by double-deck color lump 12 on user naked eyes.Structural design so can effectively promote the visual aesthetics of transparent keycap finished product.
Separately it should be noted that in the present invention is graphic, be that the gauge of double-deck color lump 12 is amplified, in order to the existence of the double-deck color lump 12 of clear signal, and highlight the second dark layer 131, by the upper surface that affects of double-deck color lump 12, be there is the situation of difference in height, as shown in Figure 7.So, the gauge of double-deck color lump 12 is very thin in fact, if being improved through both the above structural design again, actually, the polychrome transparent keycap that the present invention makes should be as shown in Figure 8, the outward appearance of keycap upper surface should keep the effect of visually substantial planar, that is the difference in height of the second dark layer 131 upper surface visually would not as shown in Figure 7 obvious like that.
The polychrome transparent keycap of the present invention, when light traverse, the first symbol display areas can send the color of light differing from the second symbol display areas, make first, second symbol display areas can show first, second kind of input method character by the light distinguished in different colors, and by the effect that presents of polychrome, allow user conveniently grasp symbol relevant with the input method instantly used on key cap of key set.The light appeared from first, second symbol display areas all would merely pass through single printing opacity color layers, without being subject to the interference of another printing opacity color layers, so, can effectively solve the bleeding problem of transparent keycap in prior art, make printing opacity color meet expection.
Certainly; the present invention also can have other various embodiments; when without departing substantially from present invention spirit and essence thereof; those of ordinary skill in the art can make various corresponding change and deformation according to the present invention, but these change accordingly and deformation all should belong to the scope of the claims appended by the present invention.
