In addition, among the switch module and the electronic equipment that this application embodiment provided, the switch module is piled up by the circuit board that is provided with elastic element and light source, light-equalizing element, leaded light component and fingerprint identification spare and becomes, and the module structure is comparatively simple, and is lower to the required precision of assembly tolerance and component element to not only can reduce the cost of switch module can also improve the life of switch module.
In the description, each part is described in a progressive manner, each part is mainly described as different from other parts, and the same and similar parts among the parts can be referred to each other.
The previous description of the disclosed embodiments is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make or use the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the application. Thus, the present application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown herein but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
