Abstract

An electronic device includes a casing, a circuit board, a panel module, a first backlight module set, a second backlight module set and a control unit. The circuit board is disposed inside the casing and installed with a first operating system and a second operating system. The panel module is installed on the casing and has a first icon pattern set and a second icon pattern set. The first backlight module set corresponds to the first icon pattern set. The second backlight module set corresponds to the second icon pattern set. The control unit controls the first backlight module set to illuminate the first icon pattern set when the first operating system is executed, or controls the second backlight module set to illuminate the second icon pattern set when the second operating system is executed.

Claims (54)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a casing;

a circuit board disposed inside the casing and installed with a first operating system and a second operating system;

a panel module installed on the casing and having a first icon pattern set and a second icon pattern set, the first icon pattern set comprising at least one first icon pattern;

a first backlight module set disposed between the circuit board and the panel module, the first backlight module set corresponding to the first icon pattern set, the first backlight module set comprising at least one first backlight module corresponding to the at least one first icon pattern, the at least one first backlight module comprising:

a first light emitting component mounted on the circuit board; and

a first light guiding member disposed between the first light emitting component and the corresponding first icon pattern, the first light guiding member comprising:

a first diffusion film spaced from the first light emitting component and

an attaching structure for attaching the first diffusion film onto the panel module;

a second backlight module set disposed between the circuit board and the panel module, the second backlight module set corresponding to the second icon pattern set; and

a control unit coupled to the first backlight module set and the second backlight module set, the control unit controlling the first backlight module set to illuminate the first icon pattern set when the first operating system is executed, or controlling the second backlight module set to illuminate the second icon pattern set when the second operating system is executed.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein opacity of the first diffusion film is from 70% to 95%.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the attaching structure comprises a first attaching layer and a second attaching layer, and the first light guiding member further comprises:

a first opaque film disposed between the first diffusion film and the corresponding first icon pattern, the first attaching layer attaching the first diffusion film and the first opaque film, the second attaching layer attaching the first opaque film and the panel module.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein opacity of the first opaque film is from 70% to 95%.

5. An electronic device comprising:

a casing;

a circuit board disposed inside the casing and installed with a first operating system and a second operating system;

a panel module installed on the casing and having a first icon pattern set and a second icon pattern set, the first icon pattern set comprising at least one first icon pattern, the second pattern set comprising at least one second icon pattern;

a first backlight module set disposed between the circuit board and the panel module, the first backlight module set corresponding to the first icon pattern set, the first backlight module set comprising at least one first backlight module corresponding to the at least one first icon pattern;

a second backlight module set disposed between the circuit board and the panel module, the second backlight module set corresponding to the second icon pattern set, the second backlight module set comprising at least one second backlight module corresponding to the at least one second icon pattern, the second backlight module comprising:

a second light emitting component mounted on the circuit board; and

a second light guiding member disposed between the second light emitting component and the corresponding second icon pattern, the second light guiding member comprising:

a second diffusion film spaced from the second light emitting component; and

an adhesive structure for attaching the second diffusion film onto the panel module; and

a control unit coupled to the first backlight module set and the second backlight module set, the control unit controlling the first backlight module set to illuminate the first icon pattern set when the first operating system is executed, or controlling the second backlight module set to illuminate the second icon pattern set when the second operating system is executed.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein opacity of the second diffusion film is from 70% to 95%.

7. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the adhesive structure comprises a first adhesive layer and a second adhesive layer, and the second light guiding member further comprises:

a second opaque film disposed between the second diffusion film and the corresponding second icon pattern, the first adhesive layer attaching the second diffusion film and the second opaque film, the second adhesive layer attaching the second opaque film and the panel module.

8. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein opacity of the second opaque film is from 70% to 95%.

9. An electronic device comprising:

a casing;

a circuit board disposed inside the casing and installed with a first operating system and a second operating system;

a panel module installed on the casing and having a first icon pattern set and a second icon pattern set, the first icon pattern set comprising at least one first icon pattern, the second icon pattern set comprising at least one second icon pattern;

a first backlight module set disposed between the circuit board and the panel module, the first backlight module set corresponding to the first icon pattern set, the first backlight module set comprising at least one first backlight module corresponding to the at least one first icon pattern;

a second backlight module set disposed between the circuit board and the panel module, the second backlight module set corresponding to the second icon pattern set, the second backlight module set comprising at least one second backlight module corresponding to the second icon pattern, the at least one second backlight module being substantially identical to the at least one first backlight module; and

a control unit coupled to the first backlight module set and the second backlight module set, the control unit controlling the first backlight module set to illuminate the first icon pattern set when the first operating system is executed, or controlling the second backlight module set to illuminate the second icon pattern set when the second operating system is executed.

10. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one first backlight module comprises:

a first light emitting component mounted on the circuit board; and

a first light guiding member disposed between the first light emitting component and the corresponding first icon pattern.

11. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one second backlight module comprises:

a second light emitting component mounted on the circuit board; and

a second light guiding member disposed between the second light emitting component and the corresponding second icon pattern.

12. An electronic device comprising:

a casing;

a circuit board disposed inside the casing and installed with a first operating system and a second operating system;

a panel module installed on the casing and having a first icon pattern set and a second icon pattern set, the panel module comprising:

a cover lens having a rear side, the first icon pattern set and the second icon pattern set being formed on the rear side; and
