Key unit and electronic equipment

Abstract

The invention relates to a key unit and electronic equipment with the key unit. In the electronic equipment provided with a key sheet (20), the key sheet (20) includes: a key portion (30) disposed in a left-right direction and a front-back direction; and a curved portion (50) that supports the front side so as to be capable of contacting and separating with the rear side of the key portion (30) as a fulcrum, wherein an end portion of the rear side of the key top portion (32) of the key portion (30) is provided with an inclined portion that is lower from the front side toward the rear side, an inclined portion that is lower from the center in the left-right direction toward the right side, and an inclined portion that is lower from the center in the left-right direction toward the left side.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a key unit and an electronic device with the key unit. Background technique [0002] There is known a key sheet with a simple structure as follows: As an input unit to an electronic device such as an electronic dictionary, a plurality of keys are integrally formed into a sheet shape, and one side of the top of the key is used as a fulcrum, and the other side is stroked to move, thereby contacting the contact point. touch. In such a key sheet, it is proposed to increase the visibility and operability of the key portion by enlarging the key portion, and to prevent double-clicking and other bad situations (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2017-130370, Japanese Patent Laid-Open 2019-121594 Bulletin). [0003] If the key section of the key unit (key sheet) in which a plurality of keys is arranged is enlarged in this way, although it becomes easy for the user to press the key, the interval between the keys may become narr...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] If the key section of the key unit (key sheet) in which a plurality of keys is arranged is enlarged in this way, although it becomes easy for the user to press the key, the interval between the keys may become narrow, and adjacent keys may be touched. Case

[0004] In particular, in an electronic device having a key unit with a structure in which one side of the key is used as a fulcrum to allow the other side to travel in a stroke, it is preferable to press a little closer to the other side relative to the center of the top of the key, thereby performing Button operation, but when the other side (end side) is pressed relative to the center of the top of the button, sometimes a button other than the button you want to press is pressed by mistake, and there is a problem that the button operation cannot be performed correctly.
