Luminous keyboard and backlight module thereof
A luminous keyboard includes a keyboard module and a backlight module. The backlight module is located under the keyboard module. The backlight module includes a light source, a light guide plate and a reflecting plate. The light source includes a conductive substrate and plural light-emitting elements. The light guide plate includes a light input surface, a light exit surface, a bottom surface and a first slot. The light input surface is disposed within the first slot. The reflecting plate is disposed on the bottom surface of the light guide plate. The reflecting plate includes a second slot. The second slot is in communication with the first slot. The conductive substrate is penetrated through the second slot and the first slot. Consequently, the plural light-emitting elements are accommodated within the first slot and aligned with the light input surface.
1. A luminous keyboard, comprising:
a keyboard module; and
a backlight module located under the keyboard module, and comprising:
a light source comprising a conductive substrate and plural light-emitting elements, wherein the plural light-emitting elements are installed on the conductive substrate;
a light guide plate comprising a light input surface, a light exit surface, a bottom surface and a first slot, wherein the light input surface is arranged between the light exit surface and the bottom surface, the light exit surface is located at a first side of the light guide plate close to the keyboard module, the bottom surface is located at a second side of the light guide plate away from the keyboard module, the first slot runs through the light guide plate from the light exit surface to the bottom surface, and the light input surface is disposed within the first slot; and
a reflecting plate disposed on the bottom surface of the light guide plate, and comprising a second slot, wherein the second slot is in communication with the first slot,
wherein the conductive substrate comprises a lateral wall, a first extension wall and a second extension wall, wherein the first extension wall is extended from a first end of the lateral wall and located over the light guide plate, the second extension wall is extended from a second end of the lateral wall and located under the reflecting plate, the second end and the first end of the lateral wall are opposed to each other, and the plural light-emitting elements are arranged between the lateral wall and the light input surface of the light guide plate,
wherein the conductive substrate is penetrated through the second slot and the first slot, so that the plural light-emitting elements are accommodated within the first slot and aligned with the light input surface.
2. The luminous keyboard according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive substrate is a transparent substrate, an opaque substrate, a translucent substrate or an insulation substrate.
3. The luminous keyboard according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive substrate is made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyimide (PI), glass, polycarbonate (PC) or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).
4. The luminous keyboard according to claim 1 , wherein the plural light-emitting elements are micro light-emitting diodes.
5. The luminous keyboard according to claim 1 , wherein the backlight module further comprises a light shielding plate, and the light shielding plate is arranged between the keyboard module and the light guide plate, wherein the light shielding plate comprises at least one light-transmissible region and at least one light-shielding region.
6. The luminous keyboard according to claim 5 , wherein the plural light-emitting elements emit light beams, wherein after the light beams are introduced into the light guide plate through the light input surface of the light guide plate, the light beams are exited from the light exit surface of the light guide plate, wherein after the light beams are exited from the light exit surface of the light guide plate, the light beams are transmitted through the at least one light-transmissible region of the light shielding plate and transferred to the keyboard module.
