A desired emission image and/or AF values are determined based on the iteratively updated AF and/or emission image.

The invention relates to a light emitting keyboard. The light emitting keyboard comprises a base board, a light source circuit layer, a switch circuit layer with a plurality of switch units, and a plurality of key caps which correspond with the plurality of switch units. Each key cap has a transparent area and a key cap projection space. A key cap gap, a plurality of light emitting assemblies in each key cap projection space and a plurality of light guiding plates are arranged between two adjacent key caps, wherein the plurality of light guiding plates are arranged in the key cap projection spaces in a manner of being separated from each other. A light guiding plate gap is arranged between two adjacent light guiding plates. The light guiding plate clearance at least extends below the key cap gap.
