[0023] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more comprehensively below with reference to the relevant drawings.

[0024] A transparent keyboard structure, referring to Figure 1 The keyboard body 10 includes a keyboard body 10, and a plurality of keys 20 are arranged on the keyboard body 10, and the structure of each key 20 is the same. The keys 20 arranged on the keyboard body 10 are numbers, letters and function keys.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The button 20 is transparent and includes a glass cover 21, a touch display panel 22 and a backlight 23. The glass cover 21 is transparent, the touch display panel 22 is used to display the button 20, and the backlight 23 is used to provide brightness to the touch display panel 22 so that the button 20 is displayed for the user to view.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 A transparent display area 211 is provided on the glass cover plate 21. The transparent display area 211 is located in the central area of ​​the glass cover plate 21. The transparent display area 211 is provided relative to the display area of ​​the touch display panel 22. Keyboard characters 30 are provided in the transparent display area 211. The keyboard characters 30 are numbers, letters or function keys 20. The keyboard characters 30 of different keys 20 are different.

[0027] Further, refer to Figure 2 The keyboard characters 30 are semi-transparent and have colors. The keyboard characters 30 have different colors, and the glass cover 21 is transparent, so that under the illumination of the backlight 23, the keyboard body 10 is transparent, and the keyboard characters 30 on the keyboard body 10 are colored, so as to enhance the sense of technology of the keyboard body 10. The keyboard characters 30 are silk-screened with ink, and the color of the ink can be determined according to actual needs.

[0028] Further, refer to Figure 2 The keyboard characters 30 are located on the side of the glass cover plate 21 facing the touch display panel 22 , and the keyboard characters 30 can be fixed on the surface of the glass cover plate 21 by printing or silk-screen printing.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 The position of the glass cover plate 21 other than the transparent display area 211 is a transparent adhesive area 212, and the transparent adhesive area 212 is located at the periphery of the glass cover plate 21. The transparent adhesive area 212 is filled with UV glue, and the UV glue is filled between the glass cover plate 21 and the touch display panel 22. The UV glue plays a bonding role and is transparent, so it does not affect the transparent appearance of the keyboard body 10.

[0030] Reference Figure 2The UV glue is arranged relative to the non-display area of ​​the touch display panel 22 , so that the UV glue does not affect the normal display function of the touch display panel 22 .

[0031] Reference Figure 2 A transparent desiccant area 213 is also provided on the glass cover plate 21. The transparent desiccant area 213 is located below the keyboard characters 30. The transparent desiccant area 213 is filled with a desiccant, and the desiccant is transparent. The desiccant is used to prevent water vapor from entering the key 20 and thus affecting the normal display of the keyboard characters 30. The desiccant can ensure a dry environment inside the key 20.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 The touch display panel 22 is bound with FPC40, which is a flexible circuit board. One end of FPC40 is bound to the touch display panel 22, and the other end of FPC40 is used to connect with the circuit board to ensure the normal use of the touch display panel 22, thereby ensuring that the keyboard characters 30 on the keys 20 can be displayed.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 A control circuit board 50 is disposed near the lower edge of the keyboard body 10. The control circuit board 50 is disposed along the length direction of the keyboard body 10. The control circuit board 50 is used to control the display of multiple keys 20 on the keyboard body 10. The FPC 40 of the touch display panel 22 on each key 20 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 50, so that the control circuit board 50 can ensure the normal display of each key 20.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 The keyboard body 10 is also provided with an LED light bar 60 near the lower edge. The LED light bar 60 is a colorful light bar that can be changed into a variety of colors. When the keyboard body 10 is in standby mode, it can realize intelligent jumping and enrich the color sense of the keyboard body 10. The LED light bar 60 is arranged along the length direction of the keyboard body 10, and the LED light bar 60 is located in front of the control circuit board 50. The LED light bar 60 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 50. The size of the control circuit board 50 is larger than that of the LED light bar 60, and the position where the control circuit board 50 contacts the LED light bar 60 is hidden on the back of the LED light bar 60, thereby reducing the area of ​​the visual hardware and improving the transparency and technological sense of the entire keyboard body 10.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 By setting a transparent key 20 on the keyboard body 10 and setting colored keyboard characters 30 on the key 20, the entire keyboard body 10 appears transparent, and the keyboard characters 30 on the keyboard body 10 appear in various colors, thereby improving the technological sense of the keyboard body 10 and making the keyboard characters 30 clearer and easier to identify, so as to meet the keyboard appearance requirements of high-end electronic products.
