Keyboard equipped with illuminated keycaps

Abstract

A keyboard equipped with illuminated keycaps mainly includes a keyboard portion and a plurality of lighting units. The keyboard portion includes a circuit board with a plurality of keyboard command portions, a plurality of keycaps respectively corresponding to the keyboard command portions and a plurality of elastic support members located between the circuit board and keycaps are depressed by the keycaps to trigger the keyboard command portions. The keycaps and elastic support members form a light emitting zone. The lighting units correspond respectively to each of the keycaps. Each of the lighting units includes a light emitting chip located on the circuit board, a package layer covering the light emitting chip and a light mask layer locally disposed on the package layer to mask light from the light emitting chip towards the abutting keycap such that the light is confined to generate illumination merely in the light emitting zone.
