The keyboard portion 1 includes at least one circuit board 11 and a plurality of key caps. 12 and a plurality of elastic support bodies 13 disposed between the circuit board 11 and the keycaps 12, specifically, the circuit board 11 has a plurality of keyboard command portions 111, and the key caps 12 respectively correspond to each of the keyboard command portions 111. When the keycap 12 is forced to move toward the circuit board 11, the elastic support body 13 is pressed to trigger the keyboard command portion 111 to generate an instruction, and the present invention is further defined by the key cap 12 and the elastic support body 13. A light-emitting interval D1 is emitted. In addition, the light-emitting units 2 are respectively disposed corresponding to each of the keycaps 12, and each of the light-emitting units 2 includes a light-emitting chip 21 disposed on the circuit board 11, and an encapsulation layer 22 covering the light-emitting chip 21. And a light-shielding layer 23 partially disposed on the package layer 22. The light-emitting chip 21 may further be a light-emitting diode wafer directly soldered to the circuit board 11 by surface adhesion technology. The layout of the wafer 21 can be adjusted according to the design, but is not limited to the present invention. The encapsulation layer 22 can be covered with a rubber on the luminescent wafer 21 by a one-step process. After the rubber material is cooled, the light generated by the light-emitting chip 21 is penetrated through the encapsulating layer 22, but part of the light is blocked by the light shielding layer 23 and cannot be directed to the adjacent keycap 12, thereby limiting the light to be limited only by The position where the light shielding layer 23 does not shield the encapsulation layer 22 is projected toward the light-emitting section D1. To further illustrate, the encapsulation layer 22 has a first projection surface 221 facing the corresponding keycap 12 and a second projection surface 222 facing the adjacent other keycap 12a. The light shielding layer 23 may be referred to in the present invention. The second projection surface 222 of the encapsulation layer 22 is coated or attached to the encapsulation layer 22 by chemical or physical means, so that the light cannot be projected to the other keycap 12a via the second projection surface 222. The light is projected by the first projection surface 221 that is not shielded. However, the portion covered by the light shielding layer 23 can be adjusted according to the requirement of projecting the angle of the keycap 12, in addition to the second projection surface 222. The light shielding layer 23 shields the first projection surface 221 to change the light projection angle. The light shielding layer 23 of the present invention can be made of a reflective material or an opaque material. On the other hand, in order to allow the light to be densely projected into the light-emitting section D1, the elastic support body 13 can be further made of a light guiding material. When the light-emitting unit 2 projects light into the light-emitting section D1, the light-emitting unit 2 Light is incident on the elastic support body 13 and guided by the elastic support body 13 to the keycap 12, and the light is projected from the keycap 12.
