Embodiment

[0042] 1. A method of manufacturing a keycap for an overlay keyboard device, comprising:

[0043] (a) Provide a covering layer and a plurality of keycap bodies, wherein the covering layer includes a plurality of sub-regions having a first surface and a second surface, each of the keycap bodies has a top surface, and each of the The first surface of the sub-area has a character representing a corresponding keycap;

[0044] (b) Place the plurality of keycap bodies on a vacuum fixture;

[0045] (c) On the vacuum jig, shape the covering layer and attach the covering layer to the plurality of keycap bodies so that the second surface of each sub-area is attached to A corresponding top surface of the keycap body; and

[0046] (d) Cutting the covering layer to obtain a plurality of independent key caps attached to each of the plurality of sub-regions.

[0047] 2. The method according to embodiment 1, wherein the vacuum jig adopts an inlay method to generate a evacuated channel, so that the co...

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a key cap for a covering type keyboard device. The method comprises the following steps of (a) providing a covering layer and a plurality of key cap bodies, wherein the covering layer has a plurality of sub-areas, and the upper surface of each sub-area is provided with a character; (b) enabling the plurality of key cap bodies to be arranged on a jig; (c) carrying out molding on the covering layer on the jig to enable the covering layer to be attached to the plurality of key cap bodies, wherein the lower surface of each sub-area is attached to the top surface of one corresponding key cap body; and (d) cutting the covering layer so as to obtain a plurality of key caps which are independent from each other.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a keycap for an overlay keyboard device, in particular to a method for manufacturing a keycap for a backlit keyboard including a plurality of independent keycaps and a plurality of independent cover layers. Background technique [0002] The well-known backlit keyboard is often used with laptop computers. When the backlight function of the backlit keyboard is turned on in a dark place, the white light emitting diode (LED) inside the keyboard will emit light from the laser-engraved characters above each keycap, so that the user can clearly see the keyboard On the character. When in bright places, the LED in the backlit keyboard will be turned off to save power. Therefore, the backlit keyboard works well at night or in dark places. On the contrary, non-backlit keyboards will not emit light. However, in order for the backlit keyboard to transmit light to the characters formed by laser engraving, while othe...
