Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of keyboard backlight modules, and in particular to a uniformly illuminated keyboard backlight module. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of electronic products, users have increasingly higher requirements for the appearance and functionality of keyboards. Keyboard backlighting, as an important function to enhance the keyboard user experience, can help users identify key characters in low-light environments and enhance the visual effect of the keyboard.
[0003] Traditional keyboard backlight modules use LEDs as the light source. One or more LEDs are soldered onto an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) beneath each keycap, requiring approximately 100 to 120 LEDs in total. This method involves pre-soldering the LED chips onto a metal bracket, followed by processes such as baking, wire bonding, baking, sealing, baking, stripping, testing, and packaging to manufacture the LEDs. This structure has high production costs, and the large size of the LEDs limits the design of thinner and lighter keyboard backlight modules as well as the uniformity of light emission.
[0004] Another approach to traditional keyboard backlight modules requires the pre-fabrication of LEDs, followed by welding several LEDs onto a light strip for side-entry light. The light is then diffused to the corresponding areas of the keyboard keycaps via a light guide sheet. However, the light diffusion is insufficient in areas far from the light strip, especially at the edges of the module where dark areas tend to form. Conversely, areas closer to the light strip may experience overexposure, making it difficult to adjust the lighting effect to achieve uniform keyboard illumination. Furthermore, the light color is limited and cannot achieve dynamic dimming in different zones. Utility Model Content

[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.
[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model.
[0020] As attached Figure 1As shown, a uniformly illuminated keyboard backlight module includes a circuit board 1, a light-emitting chip 2, an encapsulation layer 3, a light guide sheet 4, and a light shield 5. The light guide sheet 4 is fixed between the circuit board 1 and the light shield 5. The light-emitting chip 2 is connected to the circuit board 1 and is encapsulated within the encapsulation layer 3. The light guide sheet 4 has lamp grooves 41, and the light-emitting chip 2 is placed within the lamp grooves 41. The edges of the circuit board 1 and the light shield 5 are fixedly connected together. Several lamp grooves 41 correspond one-to-one with several light-emitting chips 2. This module achieves zoned dynamic dimming.
[0021] The light-emitting chip 2 is provided with a P-type semiconductor electrode 21 and an N-type semiconductor electrode 22, and the circuit board 1 is provided with a pad 11. The electrode surface of the light-emitting chip 2 faces the circuit board 1 below, and the P-type semiconductor electrode 21 and the N-type semiconductor electrode 22 are respectively soldered to the pad 11.
[0022] The pad 11 is soldered with die bond solder to the P-type semiconductor electrode 21 and N-type semiconductor electrode 22 of the corresponding light-emitting chip 2. When a positive voltage is continuously applied, electrons from the N-type semiconductor electrode 22 flow to the P-type semiconductor electrode 21 and recombine with holes in the P-type semiconductor electrode 21. During recombination, electrons jump from a higher energy state to a lower energy state, and the excess energy is released in the form of photons, thereby realizing the light emission of the light-emitting chip 2.
