[0029] The utility model provides an AI keyboard backlight module with a microlens light-guiding structure, comprising a shading film 1, a light-guiding film 2, a reflecting film 3, and an FPC circuit board 4, which are arranged in sequence from top to bottom; a plurality of LED lamps 5 are arranged on the FPC circuit board 4, a light-transmitting key position light-emitting unit 6 is arranged on the shading film 1, the key position light-emitting unit 6 corresponds to the position of the key cap on the keyboard, and illuminates the luminous characters on the key cap, a plurality of light-guiding microlenses 7 are arranged in an array on the light-guiding film 2, the light-guiding microlenses 7 can diffuse and evenly distribute the light emitted by the LED lamp 5, so that the light energy is evenly diverged on the light-guiding film 2, the light-guiding microlenses 7 correspond to the key position light-emitting unit 6, the light-guiding microlenses 7 shape the light beam to focus the light, so that the light emitted by the corresponding key position light-emitting unit 6 is brighter, a lamp hole 8 corresponding to the LED lamp 5 is opened on the reflecting film 3 and the light-guiding film 2, and the LED lamp 5 is embedded in the lamp hole 8, Embedding the LED lamp 5 in the lamp hole 8 can reduce the spatial thickness of the LED lamp 5 that causes the backlight module to be too thick, making the AI ​​keyboard backlight module thinner, which is in line with the lightweight design of the keyboard backlight module. The inner wall of the lamp hole 8 on the light guide film 2 is also arrayed with a number of light-guiding micro-lenses 7. The light-guiding micro-lenses 7 are arranged on the inner wall of the lamp hole 8 on the light guide film 2. The light is evenly diffused by the light-guiding micro-lenses 7, so that the light can propagate faster and more effectively in the light guide film 2, so that the light energy is evenly distributed to various parts of the light guide film 2. The light-guiding micro-lenses 7 can also shape and focus the light, which can effectively reduce unnecessary divergence of light energy and prevent light energy loss. Specifically, the array setting of the light-guiding micro-lenses 7 allows each key position light-emitting unit 6 of the backlight module to emit uniform and bright light, illuminating the luminous characters on the keyboard keycaps, and improving the user's experience.

[0030] Among them, the shading film 1 is printed with shading black ink 9 in areas other than the key position light emitting unit 6. The shading black ink 9 can block the light emitted by the light guide film 2, reduce the unnecessary divergence of light energy on the light guide film 2, and allow the light to be evenly diverged only from the key position light emitting unit 6 to illuminate the luminous characters on the keyboard keycaps. The key position light emitting unit 6 includes an AI key light emitting unit 10, an AI auxiliary key light emitting unit 11, and other key position light emitting units. A plurality of AI auxiliary key light emitting units 11 are provided. Color ink is printed on both the AI ​​key light emitting unit 10 and the AI ​​auxiliary light emitting unit 11.

The I key light emitting unit 10 emits light of various colors, which is convenient for users to identify and improve the operability of the AI ​​key and the AI ​​auxiliary key d1. At the same time, different colors of ink layers can be printed according to needs. Specifically, through the setting of the light-guiding microlens 7, the AI ​​auxiliary key light emitting unit 11, the AI ​​key light emitting unit 10 and other key positions can emit uniform and bright light, and colored ink is printed on the AI ​​auxiliary key light emitting unit 11 and the AI ​​key light emitting unit 10. The colored light can be distinguished from the light emitting units of other key positions, which is convenient for users to identify the AI ​​key and the AI ​​auxiliary key, improve the operability of the AI ​​key and the AI ​​auxiliary key, and let users have a good experience.

[0031] Among them, the bottom surface of the reflective film 3 is printed with black ink, and the top surface is printed with white ink. The black ink on the bottom surface of the reflective film 3 can block the light emitted by the LED lamp 5 to prevent light leakage from the bottom. The white ink on the top surface can reflect the light emitted by the LED lamp 5, allowing the light to be fully absorbed and transmitted by the light guide film 2, making full use of the light emitted by the LED lamp 5 and improving the overall luminous effect of the AI ​​keyboard backlight module.

[0032] Among them, a light-shielding ink layer 13 located around the LED lamp 5 is printed on the FPC circuit board 4. The light-shielding ink layer 13 is to prevent light leakage from the bottom of the LED lamp 5, further reduce the loss of light energy, allow the light energy of the LED lamp 5 to be fully utilized, and enhance the overall backlight effect of the AI ​​keyboard.

[0033] Among them, a number of heat dissipation holes 12 are correspondingly opened on the light-shielding film 1, the light-guiding film 2 and the reflective film 3, and black light-shielding ink is provided around the walls of the heat-dissipating holes 12. The heat-dissipating holes 12 can assist the light-guiding film 2 in dissipating heat to prevent the light-guiding performance from being affected by excessive temperature; black light-shielding ink is provided around the walls of the heat-dissipating holes 12 to prevent light leakage from the side walls of the heat-dissipating holes 12, which helps to improve the light-guiding effect of the light-guiding film 2, avoids the loss of light energy, and improves the uniform luminous efficiency of the light-guiding film 2.

[0034] Among them, the area of ​​the light-shielding film 1 and the reflective film 3 is larger than the area of ​​the light-guiding film 2. The light-guiding film 2 is located between the light-shielding film 1 and the reflective film 3. The edges of the light-shielding film 1 and the reflective film 3 seal and cover the light-guiding film 2. In order to prevent light leakage from the edge of the light-guiding film 2, the waste of light evenly distributed in the light-guiding film 2 can be effectively reduced, the light-guiding effect of the light-guiding film 2 can be improved, and the overall luminous effect of the AI ​​keyboard backlight module can be improved.
