Abstract

A portable computer device includes a computer body, a keyboard, a backlight circuit board and a metal layer. The computer body has a wireless transceiver and a system ground terminal. The keyboard is mounted on the computer body. The backlight circuit board is disposed under the keyboard and is electrically connected to the computer body. The backlight circuit board has a plurality of light sources and a circuit trace. The circuit trace is electrically connected to the plurality of light sources. The wireless transceiver is located at a side of the backlight circuit board. The metal layer is formed on a position of the backlight circuit board where there is no circuit trace and is adjacent to the wireless transceiver. The metal layer is electrically connected to the system ground terminal for suppressing electromagnetic interference of the backlight circuit board to the wireless transceiver.

Claims (22)

1. A portable computer device comprising:

a computer body having a wireless transceiver and a system ground terminal;

a keyboard mounted on the computer body, the keyboard having a keyboard ground terminal;

a backlight circuit board disposed under the keyboard and electrically connected to the computer body, the backlight circuit board having a plurality of light sources and a circuit trace electrically connected to the plurality of light sources, wherein the wireless transceiver is located at a side of the backlight circuit board; and

a metal layer formed on a position of the backlight circuit board where there is no circuit trace, the metal layer being adjacent to the wireless transceiver and having a contact point formed thereon corresponding to the keyboard ground terminal, and the keyboard ground terminal being electrically connected to the contact point and the system ground terminal for suppressing electromagnetic interference of the backlight circuit board to the wireless transceiver.

2. The portable computer device of claim 1 , wherein the metal layer has at least one jumper structure insulated across the circuit trace for preventing short circuit of the circuit trace.

3. The keyboard of claim 1 , wherein the metal layer has at least one jumper structure insulated across the circuit trace for preventing short circuit of the circuit trace.

4. A keyboard mounted on a computer body, the computer body having a wireless transceiver and a system ground terminal, the keyboard having a keyboard ground terminal and comprising:

a bottom board;

a backlight circuit board disposed under the bottom board and electrically connected to the computer body, the backlight circuit board having a plurality of light sources and a circuit trace electrically connected to the plurality of light sources, wherein the wireless transceiver is located at a side of the backlight circuit board; and

a metal layer formed on a position of the backlight circuit board where there is no circuit trace, the metal layer being adjacent to the wireless transceiver and having a contact point formed thereon corresponding to the keyboard ground terminal, and the keyboard ground terminal being electrically connected to the contact point and the system ground terminal for suppressing electromagnetic interference of the backlight circuit board to the wireless transceiver.

5. A portable computer device comprising:

a computer body having a wireless transceiver and a system ground terminal;

a keyboard mounted on the computer body;

a backlight circuit board disposed under the keyboard and electrically connected to the computer body, the backlight circuit board having a connector corresponding to the system ground terminal and further having a plurality of light sources and a circuit trace electrically connected to the plurality of light sources, and the connector being electrically connected to the system ground terminal, wherein the wireless transceiver is located at a side of the backlight circuit board; and

a metal layer connected to the connector and formed on a position of the backlight circuit board where there is no circuit trace, the metal layer being adjacent to the wireless transceiver and electrically connected to the system ground terminal for suppressing electromagnetic interference of the backlight circuit board to the wireless transceiver.

6. The portable computer device of claim 5 , wherein the metal layer has at least one jumper structure insulated across the circuit trace for preventing short circuit of the circuit trace.

7. A keyboard mounted on a computer body, the computer body having a wireless transceiver and a system ground terminal, the keyboard comprising:

a bottom board;

a backlight circuit board disposed under the bottom board and electrically connected to the computer body, the backlight circuit board having a connector corresponding to the system ground terminal and further having a plurality of light sources and a circuit trace electrically connected to the plurality of light sources, and the connector being electrically connected to the system ground terminal, wherein the wireless transceiver is located at a side of the backlight circuit board; and

a metal layer connected to the connector and formed on a position of the backlight circuit board where there is no circuit trace, the metal layer being adjacent to the wireless transceiver and electrically connected to the system ground terminal for suppressing electromagnetic interference of the backlight circuit board to the wireless transceiver.

8. The keyboard of claim 7 , wherein the metal layer has at least one jumper structure insulated across the circuit trace for preventing short circuit of the circuit trace.
