Abstract

This invention relates to a flexible fabric keyboard. Wherein, the keyboard comprises a upper circuit layer, an isolation layer, a lower circuit layer and a key-press layer arranged from top to bottom; labeling the keyboard position on key-press layer top surface; arranging one-by-one holes on the isolation layer for the key positions; defining the row and column circuits by the upper and lower circuit respectively, arranging opposite electrodes on the holes; connecting two circuits to a signal interface. This invention can be wrapped or folded as the soft fabric feature, and explores a path for future computer dressed on body.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a computer peripheral device, in particular to a flexible keyboard made of fabric. Background technique [0002] The keyboard is an important peripheral device of the computer. At present, the common keyboard is a rigid body made of plastic. There are already corresponding products of flexible keyboards at home and abroad, which are mainly composed of plastic circuit boards and plastic capsules. However, due to the limitation of materials, the application field of this keyboard cannot be expanded. [0003] Keyboards made of all-fabric have yet to be reported. Contents of the invention [0004] The object of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a flexible keyboard made of fabric. [0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: [0006] The flexible fabric keyboard among the present invention co...
