Abstract
A backlight module of an illuminated keyboard device includes a circuit board and a plurality of light-emitting elements. The circuit board has a top surface and a bottom surface opposite to the top surface. The top surface has a plurality of key assembling regions. Each of the key assembling regions has a stress release hole defined through the top surface and the bottom surface. The light-emitting elements are respectively disposed on the key assembling regions. Each of the light-emitting elements includes a main body and a conductive portion connected to the main body. The conductive portion is electrically connected to the circuit board, and the stress release hole is adjacent to the conductive portion of each of the light-emitting elements.
Claims16
