Description

背光模組及其發光鍵盤Backlight module and illuminated keyboard

本發明關於一種背光模組及其發光鍵盤,尤指一種使用光衰減結構以改善按鍵發光色偏問題的背光模組及其發光鍵盤。The present invention relates to a backlight module and a light-emitting keyboard, in particular to a backlight module and a light-emitting keyboard that use a light attenuation structure to improve the color shift problem of key light emission.

一般而言,為了使鍵盤具有按鍵發光功能,目前常見的設計係直接在鍵盤之複數按鍵下方配置具有發光二極體的背光模組,發光二極體之光線係可入射至背光模組之導光板,最終出射至每顆按鍵之鍵帽,以產生按鍵發光效果。Generally speaking, in order to make the keyboard have the function of key light-emitting, the current common design is to arrange a backlight module with light-emitting diodes directly under the plurality of keys of the keyboard, and the light of the light-emitting diodes can be incident on the guide of the backlight module. The light plate is finally emitted to the keycap of each key to produce a key light-emitting effect.

在先前技術中,鍵盤上的彩色發光效果,是採用多組多色光源組(如紅綠藍發光二極體(RGB LED))的混光設計,來使鍵帽周緣或鍵帽上之識別符號的發光顏色符合需求。多組多色光源組通常設置在鍵盤的某側或中間區段,其數量、角度、分佈需要讓鍵盤上的每顆按鍵,具有高度的均一性。In the prior art, the color light-emitting effect on the keyboard is a light-mixing design of multiple sets of multi-color light sources (such as red, green and blue light-emitting diodes (RGB LED)), so that the keycap periphery or the keycap can be identified. The luminous color of the symbol meets the requirements. Multiple sets of multi-color light source groups are usually arranged on a certain side or middle section of the keyboard, and the number, angle and distribution of the light source groups need to make each key on the keyboard highly uniform.

然而,由於多色光源組不論設置在何處,每個單色光源到每顆按鍵出光處的距離不盡相同,使得特定按鍵會受到較多最接近的單色光源影響而造成混光比例偏差,導致特定按鍵與周圍按鍵發光顏色不同,也就是所謂異色按鍵的問題。However, no matter where the multi-color light source group is installed, the distance from each monochromatic light source to the light-emitting point of each key is not the same, so that certain keys will be affected by more closest monochromatic light sources, resulting in a deviation in the mixing ratio. , resulting in a different light-emitting color between specific keys and surrounding keys, which is the so-called problem of different-colored keys.

異色按鍵之發光顏色,會偏向最接近之單色光源所發出之色光顏色。例如,當鍵盤整體要統一發白光時,若最接近異色按鍵者為多色光源組的紅色光源,則異色按鍵上所呈現的白光容易出現偏紅色的混光偏差,影響發光鍵盤的視覺效果以及引發品質疑慮。The light-emitting color of the different-color keys will be biased toward the color light emitted by the closest monochromatic light source. For example, when the keyboard as a whole needs to emit white light uniformly, if the red light source of the multi-color light source group is the closest to the different-color keys, the white light presented on the different-color keys is prone to a reddish light mixing deviation, which affects the visual effect of the illuminated keyboard and Caused product doubts.

因此,本發明的目的之一在於提供一種使用光衰減結構以改善按鍵發光色偏問題的發光鍵盤及其背光模組,以解決上述問題。Therefore, one of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a light-emitting keyboard and a backlight module thereof that use a light-attenuating structure to improve the color shift problem of key light emission, so as to solve the above-mentioned problems.

The second optical medium is disposed between the multi-color light source group and the light incident surface of the light guide plate, and the first refractive index of the first optical medium is greater than the second refractive index of the second optical medium. The light attenuation structure is disposed between the first light source and the different-color key, and attenuates a first color light of the first light source that passes through or passes through the light attenuation structure.

多色光源組20對應導光板18之入光面28設置,且多色光源組20較佳地容置於導光板18之開孔中(但不受此限,其亦可採用設置於導光板18之一側的設計),多色光源組20包含在一軟性電路板F1(於第1A圖中以虛線方框簡示)上設置的複數個光源,這些複數個光源可為單獨封裝的多個單色LED晶片、或一體封裝的三個單色LED磊晶。複數個光源產生彼此相異的複數個色光(例如紅綠藍等三色光),其中複數個光源之一第一光源32靠近多色光源組20的一第一側S1且最接近異色按鍵16的出光區19,複數個光源之一第二光源34靠近多色光源組20的一第二側S2且最遠離異色按鍵16的出光區19。第二光介質22係設置於多色光源組20與導光板18之入光面28之間,在此實施例中,導光板18之第一光介質之第一折射率大於第二光介質22之第二折射率。The multi-color light source group 20 is disposed corresponding to the light incident surface 28 of the light guide plate 18, and the multi-color light source group 20 is preferably accommodated in the opening of the light guide plate 18 (but not limited to this, it can also be disposed on the light guide plate 18), the multi-color light source group 20 includes a plurality of light sources arranged on a flexible circuit board F1 (shown as a dashed box in FIG. 1A ), and these plurality of light sources may be individually packaged multiple light sources. A single-color LED chip, or three single-color LED epitaxy packaged in one piece. The plurality of light sources generate a plurality of color lights (such as red, green, and blue) that are different from each other, wherein a first light source 32 of the plurality of light sources is close to a first side S1 of the multi-color light source group 20 and is closest to the different-color buttons 16. In the light emitting area 19 , a second light source 34 of the plurality of light sources is close to a second side S2 of the multi-color light source group 20 and farthest away from the light emitting area 19 of the different-color keys 16 . The second optical medium 22 is disposed between the multi-color light source group 20 and the light incident surface 28 of the light guide plate 18 . In this embodiment, the first refractive index of the first optical medium of the light guide plate 18 is greater than that of the second optical medium 22 the second refractive index.

光衰減結構24係可較佳地採用從入光面28在對應第一光源32之位置往遠離第一光源32之方向內縮形成的設計,舉例來說,如第1A/1B圖以及第2A/2B圖所示,光衰減結構24係設置於第一光源32與異色按鍵16之間,以衰減通過光衰減結構24之第一光源32的第一色光。更詳細地說,在此實施例中,導光板18之入光面28可具有一第一入光段36靠近第一光源32,並具有一第二入光段38靠近第二光源34(由第2A/2B圖可知,第二光源34至第二入光段38之第二距離係小於第一光源32至第一入光段36之第一距離),第一入光段36與第二入光段38及多色光源組20的排列方向約略為平行,且光衰減結構24係設置於第二光介質22與入光面28的第一入光段36之間。本發明中,光衰減結構24係可由具有第三折射率的第三光介質所組成;在本實施例中,第三光介質較佳地為空氣,亦即第三折射率等於第二光介質22之第二折射率,且光衰減結構24的範圍係可由入光面28的第一入光段36朝鍵帽17之出光區19之方向內縮的局部壁面,以及未內縮前的第二入光段38之平直延伸線二者共同定義(如第2A/2B圖所示,但不受此限)。雖然本實施例中光衰減結構24與第二光介質22均為空氣,但是第一光源32所發出之第一色光,必須額外通過光衰減結構24而有所衰減耗弱,使得實際經過第一入光段36的第一色光減少。The light-attenuating structure 24 can preferably adopt a design formed by shrinking from the light incident surface 28 at a position corresponding to the first light source 32 to a direction away from the first light source 32, for example, as shown in Figs. 1A/1B and 2A As shown in FIG. /2B, the light attenuation structure 24 is disposed between the first light source 32 and the different-color keys 16 to attenuate the first color light passing through the first light source 32 of the light attenuation structure 24 . More specifically, in this embodiment, the light incident surface 28 of the light guide plate 18 may have a first light incident section 36 close to the first light source 32 and a second light incident section 38 close to the second light source 34 (by 2A/2B, it can be seen that the second distance from the second light source 34 to the second light incident section 38 is smaller than the first distance from the first light source 32 to the first light incident section 36), the first light incident section 36 and the second light incident section 36 The light incident section 38 and the multi-color light source group 20 are arranged in approximately parallel directions, and the light attenuation structure 24 is disposed between the second optical medium 22 and the first light incident section 36 of the light incident surface 28 . In the present invention, the light attenuation structure 24 can be composed of a third optical medium having a third refractive index; in this embodiment, the third optical medium is preferably air, that is, the third refractive index is equal to the second optical medium The second refractive index of 22, and the range of the light attenuation structure 24 is the partial wall surface that can be retracted from the first light incident section 36 of the light incident surface 28 toward the light exit area 19 of the keycap 17, and the first part before it is not retracted. The straight extension lines of the two light incident segments 38 are jointly defined by the two (as shown in Figs. 2A/2B, but not limited thereto). Although the light attenuating structure 24 and the second optical medium 22 are both air in this embodiment, the first color light emitted by the first light source 32 must additionally pass through the light attenuating structure 24 to be attenuated and attenuated, so that it actually passes through the first color light. The first color light in the light incident section 36 is reduced.

透過上述設計,最接近異色按鍵16之出光區19的第一光源32所發出之第一色光係可經由入光面28入射至導光板18內,也就是說,第一色光係可依序經過第二光介質22以及光衰減結構24、入光面28的第一入光段36與導光板18。通過光衰減結構24而出現色光衰減效果,可使衰減後之第一色光與多色光源組20的其他該些色光混合光線時,避免異色、色偏的問題,如此從導光板18之出光面30射出以照亮異色按鍵16之出光區19,從而在異色按鍵16產生與附近位置具有較高均勻度的按鍵發光功效。如此一來,即能有效地解決在先前技術中所提到的按鍵發光顏色偏向最接近按鍵之光源之色光顏色的色差問題,從而大大地改善發光鍵盤的按鍵發光效果以及使用觀感。Through the above design, the first color light system emitted by the first light source 32 closest to the light emitting area 19 of the different-color keys 16 can be incident into the light guide plate 18 through the light incident surface 28, that is, the first color light system can be The light passes through the second optical medium 22 , the light attenuation structure 24 , the first light incident section 36 of the light incident surface 28 and the light guide plate 18 in sequence. The color light attenuation effect occurs through the light attenuation structure 24, so that when the attenuated first color light is mixed with the other color lights of the multi-color light source group 20, the problems of different colors and color shifts are avoided, so that the light emitted from the light guide plate 18 The surface 30 emits light to illuminate the light emitting area 19 of the different-color keys 16 , so that the keys 16 of the different-color keys 16 and nearby positions have a high uniformity of key lighting effects. In this way, it can effectively solve the chromatic aberration problem mentioned in the prior art that the key emission color is biased towards the color light color of the light source closest to the key, thereby greatly improving the key lighting effect and the use look and feel of the illuminated keyboard.

值得一提的是,只要是光衰減結構從入光面在對應第一光源之位置往遠離第一光源之方向內縮形成的結構設計,其均可為本發明所採用,並不以上述實施例所述之階梯狀內縮設計為限。It is worth mentioning that as long as the light-attenuating structure is formed by shrinking from the light incident surface at the position corresponding to the first light source to the direction away from the first light source, it can be adopted in the present invention, and the above-mentioned implementation is not applicable. The stepped indentation design described in the example is limited.
