Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, the computer is mainly input by keyboard operation, so the keys on the keyboard are printed with various letters or fonts, and the arrangement of letters on the keyboard is also different because of the different languages ​​of each country, so that the needs of different language input must be printed. Different sets of keyboards are used, which will greatly increase the types of keyboards that need to be produced, which is quite inconvenient, and also increases the number of original parts of the product, which increases the difficulty of raw material control. , its complexity is higher, which is not conducive to the development of product business
[0003] Existing palmtop computer or information communication equipment (Communicator) possessed keyboard again, because press key is small, so the area that can print font is also less, and general Chinese input often cooperates different input methods to input with keyboard, and because of different The input method needs to print different font radicals on the keyboard. Therefore, if a handheld computer or information equipment needs to print fonts other than English letters, it is often difficult to print all the required characters due to insufficient printing space.
Furthermore, because there are many commonly used input methods on the market, the common input method radicals are printed on the general keyboard, which makes the letter font on the keyboard become quite small and the disk surface appears complicated, which only increases the long-term eye load of the operator. It is not an ideal keyboard font setting, so how to solve the problems of keyboard font use and production layout for different needs is the key direction for the industry to make breakthroughs and improvements
[0004] In view of the cumbersome and difficult shortcomings of the aforementioned keyboard font printing and the unsatisfactory layout design, the inventor of this case started to develop and test its solution, hoping to develop a more convenient and practical keyboard. Change the keyboard structure of the key font to serve the industry and the general public, and after a long time of conception, the present invention is produced

Embodiment Construction

[0028] see figure 1 , figure 2 , the first embodiment of the keyboard structure of the present invention that can change the key font, it includes a keyboard 10, call display layer 20, circuit circuit layer 30, circuit board 40 and light source 50, this keyboard 10 is provided with plural keys 11, and this key 11 is Transparent or light-transmitting material body; the electrochromic display layer 20 is located under the keyboard 10, and it includes a plurality of electrochromic films 21 (Electrochromic), and the electrochromic film 21 includes an electrochromic material 22 and font 23, and the electrochromic film 21 includes an electrochromic material 22 and a font 23. Color-changing material 22 is made of conductive plastic 221 on one side, metal oxide film 222 in the middle (such as WO 3 ) and the electrolyte lithium 223 on the other side constitutes a sandwich sandwich structure, wherein the conductive plastic 221 is used to transfer negatively charged electrons, and the ...

Abstract

This invention provides a key board structure with variable key fonts including a key board having multiple keys, an electro-display layer under the keyboard including multiple electro-chromic films containing an electro-chromic material and fonts, the films make the material and fonts to generate color comparison after they are turned on, and further display patterns of the fonts, a circuit loop layer set under the display layer, a CB set under the loop layer connected with said loop layer to generate supply signals after the key is pressed and said CB is connected with the electro-chromic film to generate signals, therefore fonts can be switched according to different needs.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a keyboard structure, in particular, a convertible key that can change the fonts on the keyboard keys according to the input requirements, so that the keyboard fonts can fully meet different needs and facilitate the setting of keyboard fonts in different regions The keyboard structure of the font. Background technique [0002] At present, the computer is mainly input by keyboard operation, so the keys on the keyboard are printed with various letters or fonts, and the arrangement of letters on the keyboard is also different due to the different languages ​​of each country, so that the needs of different language input must be printed. Different sets of keyboards are used, which will increase the types of keyboards that need to be produced, which is quite inconvenient, and also increases the number of original parts of the product, which increases the difficulty of raw material control. , its complexity is higher, which ...
