Electronic equipment, backlight structure and keypad for electronic equipment

An electronic equipment comprising:

• a backlight which transmits light through an operation member and is emitted, and
• a wavelength-converting phosphor paint, which is separate from the backlight, emits light by being excited by the light of the backlight,
• wherein the backlight is detachable from the wavelength-converting phosphor paint,
• wherein the wavelength-converting phosphor paint is on the back face of the operation member, opposing the backlight.

An electronic equipment comprising:

• at least one light source, in which light of the light source is guided and emitted from an operation member having translucent properties via an optical waveguide;
• and
• a region that contains phosphor, which is separate from the light source, for emitting visible light by being excited by the light from the light source, said region that contains phosphor is in a path through which the light of the light source is guided,
• wherein said at least one light source is detachable from the region that contains phosphor,
• wherein the operation member is constituted by a plurality of keytops,
• wherein the region that contains phosphor is contained immediately below the upper surface of the keytops.
