Definitions
- the invention relates to an operating device for a communication device, in particular a remote control for a consumer electronics device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Remote controls are used as so-called remote control transmitters of consumer electronics devices, for example television sets, VCRs and audio equipment, in use. Because such Remote controls are often used in darkened rooms by the user to be operated, remote control transmitters are also known, whose Keypads are illuminated.
- DE 90 13 860 U1 is a remote control for electronic devices known, the controls are illuminated. The lighting is done with With the help of flexible light guides. For lighting is a single one Battery powered light source provided.
- the invention has for its object an operating device Specify the type mentioned, the keyboard without large Effort can be illuminated as homogeneously as possible and is easy to manufacture.
- the light guide means that there is a homogeneous distribution of the available standing light, especially at the edge of the area to be illuminated Buttons, making it easier and more ergonomic to use of the control device even in darkened visibility.
- a particularly suitable material for the illuminants has been found to be that the illuminants are formed from a translucent material, wherein the light guide means are adapted to the shape of the keys to be illuminated.
- a particularly simple manufacture of the light guide means results from that the light guide means are integrally and coherently formed.
- the light guide means can be formed from a material which is used for Generation of certain lighting effects can also be colored.
- the light guide effect can be enhanced by the fact that the light guide means in lower area are angled.
- the light guide means have a notch in the upper region.
- the keypad 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of a keyboard field 1 as a section in FIG the side view.
- the keypad 1 consists of keys 2, the Light guide 9 are surrounded. Between the buttons 2 are each LEDs 8 arranged.
- the function of the keyboard field shown in Fig. 1 is as follows: By pressing a button on the control device on which the Keyboard field 1 is arranged, the LEDs 8 are activated, i.e. an emission of light. This light is on via the light guide 9 the area around the keys 2 further distributed, for better distribution of the emitted light are the light guide means in that shown in Fig. 1 Embodiment angled in the lower area.
- Fig. 2 shows the keyboard panel shown in Fig. 1 in plan view.
- the Keyboard field 1 is part of an operating device, for example one Remote control for a television set.
- the keypad contains keys 2 for Activation of certain device functions.
- In the area between the buttons 2 are four light-emitting diodes 8 in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 2 provided to illuminate the area surrounding the keys 2 are provided.
- each key element 2 is provided by a light guide 9 surround.
- the light guide means 9 are designed as circular Rings formed, and consist of a translucent material. This material can also be used to create certain optical effects be colored.
- the individual rings 9 of the light guide are for simplified manufacture of the control device in one piece, i.e. as coherent rings made.
- Fig. 3 shows another embodiment of a keyboard in the Cross-section.
- the keyboard 1 consists of keys 5, 6, 7, the Light guide 9 are surrounded.
- Illuminant 8 is provided, the light of which is passed on to the light guide 9 becomes.
- the light guide 9 are with a Notch connected.
- a further notch is provided for the light guide.
- the function for Illumination of the keyboard 1 corresponds to that shown in FIG. 3 Embodiment essentially that in connection with Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 illustrated embodiments, so that for simplification on the reference is made to this description.
- Fig. 4 shows the keyboard panel shown in Fig. 3 in plan view.
- the Keypad 1 has keys 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, which are used to activate certain Device functions of a consumer electronics device are provided.
- the edge areas of the buttons 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 are made of light guide means 9 surround.
- the entire keyboard 1 is from another Framed light guide 12.
- LEDs 8 covered by the operating device in the keyboard field intended.
- the illuminant 8 is used in that shown in FIG. 4 Embodiment in addition to lighting only the Surrounding area of the buttons 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 also illuminates the entire keyboard 1 achieved. This serves in addition to the respective Keys 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 surrounding illuminant 9 as a further illuminant 12 trained light frames 12. Also those shown in Fig. 4 Illuminants 9, 12 can be made in one piece from a translucent material getting produced.
