Technical Field

The present invention relates to a membrane switch device, and more particularly, to a membrane switch device with ghost key prevention.

Background

The membrane keyboard is a very common input device at present, and most membrane switches of the membrane keyboard adopt a Matrix (Matrix) circuit, however, the Matrix (Matrix) circuit has a Ghost key (Ghost key) problem in use. The ghost key is a key which is not pressed and a pressing signal is detected, or a correct signal cannot be judged when a plurality of keys are pressed at the same time. This is a nuisance in use when multiple keys are required to be pressed simultaneously (for example, when playing computer games).

In order to avoid the ghost key problem, the conventional membrane keyboard generally adopts a high impedance design, for example, each key is additionally connected with a diode, so as to prevent the ghost key from being generated by the difference of forward and reverse impedances of the diode. However, this approach will increase the process complexity of the membrane switch, reduce the process yield and increase the cost.

In one embodiment, an anti-ghost-key membrane switch device includes a first membrane layer, a second membrane layer and a spacer layer. The first film layer comprises a first surface and a first wire outlet end, a plurality of first trigger points and a first signal circuit are arranged on the first surface, and the first signal circuit is electrically connected with the first trigger points and extends to the first wire outlet end. The second thin layer sets up on first thin layer, the second thin layer includes second surface and second leading-out terminal, the second surface faces first surface and is equipped with a plurality of second trigger points and many second signal lines, a plurality of second trigger points are corresponding to a plurality of first trigger points respectively, the one end of these second signal lines electricity respectively connects in these second trigger points, the other end of these second signal lines extends to the second leading-out terminal respectively, these second signal lines electric connection not each other, and the first signal line and the second signal line of first thin layer also not electric connection. The distance layer is clamped between the first thin film layer and the second thin film layer and comprises a plurality of through holes, and the through holes correspond to the first trigger points and the second trigger points respectively.

In summary, in the thin film switch device for preventing ghost keys according to the embodiment of the present invention, one end of each second signal line of the second thin film layer is connected to the second trigger point, and the other end of each second signal line directly extends to the second wire outlet end, so that after each corresponding first trigger point and second trigger point are in contact conduction, a signal can be individually output to prevent ghost keys from being generated.

Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of an embodiment of an anti-ghost-key membrane switch device of the present invention, fig. 2 is a plan view of an embodiment of a first membrane layer of the present invention, and fig. 3 is a plan view of an embodiment of a second membrane layer of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 1, the thin film switching device 1 is a multi-layer thin film structure, and includes a first thin film layer 10, a second thin film layer 20, and a spacer layer 30. Wherein the whole membrane switch device 1 can be made into rectangle, square, round or other irregular shapes according to the actual state of the product. For example, in the present embodiment, the membrane switch device 1 is applied to a computer keyboard, and is made into a rectangle shape according to the shape of the computer keyboard, but this is not limited.

In addition, as shown in fig. 1, in the present embodiment, the first thin film layer 10 is located at the bottom layer, the second thin film layer 20 is located at the top layer, and the spacing layer 30 is sandwiched between the first thin film layer 10 and the second thin film layer 20, for example, the spacing layer 30 can be adhered between the first thin film layer 10 and the second thin film layer 20 by adhesive. However, in some embodiments, the top and bottom disposition relationship of the first film layer 10 and the second film layer 20 of the film switch device 1 can be changed according to actual requirements, taking the film switch device 1 as an example of a keyboard, the first film layer 10 can be close to the keys of the keyboard, and the second film layer 20 is relatively close to the bottom plate of the keyboard. Alternatively, the first film layer 10 may be adjacent to the bottom panel of the keyboard, and the second film layer 20 may be relatively adjacent to the keys of the keyboard, but not limited thereto.

As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the first film layer 10 includes a first surface 11 and a first outlet end 12, the first surface 11 is provided with a plurality of first trigger points 111 and a first signal line 15, and the first signal line 15 is electrically connected to the plurality of first trigger points 111 and extends to the first outlet end 12. In some embodiments, the first film layer 10 may be a film made of a plastic material such as Polyimide (Polyimide), Polyethylene terephthalate (Polyethylene terephthalate), or Polycarbonate (Polycarbonate).

As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the first surface 11 is an upper surface of the first thin film layer 10 (if the first thin film layer 10 is the topmost layer, the first surface 11 is a lower surface of the first thin film layer 10). That is, the first surface 11 of the first film layer 10 faces the spacer layer 30. The first wire outlet 12 is integrally extended from one side of the first film layer 10, for example, the first film layer 10 and the first wire outlet 12 can be integrally manufactured and formed by machining (for example, stamping or cutting).

As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the first trigger points 111 on the first surface 11 of the first film layer 10 are arranged at intervals, and the first trigger points 111 are located on a surface area (e.g., the first area a1 in fig. 2) of the first surface 11 away from the first outlet 12, but this is not limited thereto, and the first trigger points 111 may be configured at different positions according to different product requirements. In some embodiments, each first trigger point 111 may be an electrical conductor such as a conductive foil (e.g., copper foil, silver foil, or other metal foil) or a conductive rubber.

As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the first signal line 15 may be a metal line, for example, the first signal line 15 may be a copper line, a silver paste line, or other metal lines. However, the first signal line 15 is not limited to a metal material, and any material with conductivity can be used as the material of the first signal line 15, in this embodiment, the first signal line 15 is a single line and is connected in series with a plurality of first trigger points 111, and at least one end of the first signal line 15 extends to the first outlet 12. In some embodiments, the first signal line 15 may be formed on the first surface 11 of the first thin film layer 10 by printing or etching.

As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 3, the second film layer 20 includes a second surface 21 and a second wire-out end 22, and in some embodiments, the body of the second film layer 20 may be a film made of a plastic material such as Polyimide (Polyimide), polyethylene terephthalate (polyethylene terephthalate), or Polycarbonate (Polycarbonate).

As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 3, the second surface 21 of the second film layer 20 faces the first surface 11 of the first film layer 10, and a plurality of second trigger points 211 and a plurality of second signal lines 25 are disposed on the second surface 21, wherein the plurality of second trigger points 211 are disposed at intervals and respectively correspond to the plurality of first trigger points 111 on the first surface 11 of the first film layer 10. In some embodiments, each second trigger point 211 on the second surface 21 may also be an electrical conductor such as a conductive foil (e.g., copper foil, silver foil, or other metal foil) or a conductive rubber. The second wire outlet 22 is integrally extended from one side of the second film layer 20, for example, the body of the second film layer 20 and the second wire outlet 22 can be integrally manufactured and formed by machining (for example, stamping or cutting).

As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 3, each of the second signal lines 25 on the second surface 21 of the second thin film layer 20 may also be a metal line, for example, the second signal line 25 may be a copper line, a silver paste line, or other metal lines. However, the second signal line 25 is not limited to a metal material, and any material having conductivity may be used as the material of the second signal line 25. In some embodiments, the second signal line 25 may be formed on the second surface 21 of the second thin film layer 20 by printing or etching.

As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 3, one end of each of the second signal lines 25 on the second surface 21 of the second thin film layer 20 is electrically connected to the second trigger points 211, and the other end extends to the second outlet 22. That is, each of the second signal lines 25 is independent and not electrically connected to each other, and one end of each of the second signal lines 25 is electrically connected to the second trigger point 211 at a different position, and the other end of each of the second signal lines 25 extends directly to the second outlet 22. In other words, each of the second trigger points 211 extends to a second signal line 25 to the second outlet 22, and each of the second signal lines 25 is not staggered with each other, so that no additional jumper process is required.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in one embodiment, the second plurality of trigger points 211 of the second film layer 20 are second areas a2 disposed on the second surface 21, and the second area a2 corresponds to the first area a1 of fig. 2 where the first plurality of trigger points 111 are disposed. Since each of the second trigger points 211 needs to extend a second signal line 25 to the second wire outlet 22, the second area a2 can be adjacent to the second wire outlet 22 to reduce the routing length and distance of each second signal line 25 for easier wiring, so as to fully utilize the wiring space, and avoid the second signal lines 25 from being staggered, without additional process of wire jumping.

As shown in fig. 1, the spacing layer 30 has a plurality of through holes 31, the through holes 31 correspond to a plurality of first trigger points 111 of the first thin film layer 10 and a plurality of second trigger points 211 of the second thin film layer 20, wherein the aperture of each through hole 31 can be larger than the coverage area of each first trigger point 111 and each second trigger point 211, so that each first trigger point 111 and each second trigger point 211 are not blocked. Thereby, the first trigger point 111 or the second trigger point 211 can approach and contact each other when pressed. When the first trigger point 111 or the second trigger point 211 is not pressed, a certain distance can be maintained by the thickness of the spacer layer 30, so that each first trigger point 111 does not contact its corresponding second trigger point 211. For example, the membrane switch device 1 may be applied to a computer keyboard, and the plurality of second trigger points 211 of the second membrane layer 20 may be respectively located under each key of the computer keyboard, and when one of the keys is pressed, the corresponding second trigger point 211 may be pressed to contact the corresponding first trigger point 111, so as to generate a function signal corresponding to the pressed key.

In summary, the circuit configuration of the membrane switch device 1 according to the above-mentioned embodiment can not only prevent the occurrence of Ghost key (Ghost key), but also achieve the advantages of greatly reducing the process steps, saving the manufacturing time, improving the product yield and reducing the cost, etc., where the Ghost key is a situation where a pressed signal is detected while an un-pressed key is pressed, or a correct signal cannot be determined when a plurality of keys are pressed simultaneously, and the details are described below with reference to the drawings.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 3 and fig. 4, fig. 4 is a circuit diagram of a first embodiment of a ghost key prevention thin film switch device according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the first wire outlet 12 of the first thin film layer 10 and the second wire outlet 22 of the second thin film layer 20 can be electrically connected to a processor (not shown), when one of the keys is pressed, one of the first trigger point 111 or the second trigger point 211 can be correspondingly pressed, so that the first trigger point 111 and the second trigger point 211 corresponding to each other are close to and contact with each other (for example, the leftmost first trigger point 111 and the second trigger point 211 in fig. 4 are in contact conduction with each other), that is, the first signal line 15 of the first thin film layer 10 can only conduct the second signal line 25 electrically connected to the contacted second trigger point 211 on the second thin film layer 20, and the processor can generate the function signal corresponding to the pressed key according to the conducting state. For example, the processor can input the detection signal from one end of the first signal line 15, and when the second signal line 25 corresponding to the pressed key is turned on, the processor can receive the feedback signal to generate the function signal corresponding to the pressed key.

In summary, since each second signal line 25 electrically connected to each second trigger point 211 independently extends to the second wire outlet 22, the first signal line 15 of the first film layer 10 will not conduct the second signal lines 25 electrically connected to other second trigger points 211 that are not touched, so that the processor will not detect the signal corresponding to the key that is not pressed, thereby avoiding the generation of error signals.

Referring to fig. 2, 3 and 4 again, when more than two keys are pressed simultaneously, the first trigger point 111 and the second trigger point 211 corresponding to each other can be brought close to and contacted (for example, the two leftmost first trigger points 111 and the two second trigger points 211 in fig. 4 are respectively contacted and conducted with each other). The first signal line 15 of the first thin film layer 10 is respectively conducted to the two second signal lines 25 electrically connected to the two second trigger points 211 on the second thin film layer 20, and the processor can generate a function signal corresponding to the pressed key according to the conduction of the two second signal lines 25, so that the thin film switch device 1 of the embodiment of the invention can also respectively judge that the pressed key generates a correct signal when a plurality of keys are pressed at the same time.

In summary, compared to the Matrix (Matrix) circuit of the conventional thin film switch, the circuit of the thin film switch device 1 of the embodiment of the invention does not require the first signal lines 15 of the first thin film layer 10 and the plurality of second signal lines 25 of the second thin film layer 20 to be electrically connected, and each of the second signal lines 25 electrically connected to each of the second trigger points 211 of the second thin film layer 20 extends to the second outlet 22 independently, so that the processes of wire jumping and electrical connection can be omitted. Specifically, when the conventional film switch is used to print a matrix circuit, a jumper process is additionally performed on the staggered portion of the circuit to prevent the trigger points from being electrically connected to each other, and the conventional film switch is additionally used to electrically connect the circuits of the upper and lower film layers, so that an electrical connection process is further performed, for example, the circuits of the upper and lower film layers are connected to each other by an anisotropic conductive adhesive tape (ACF Attach). However, in the thin film switch device 1 of the embodiment of the invention, in terms of process, after the first signal line 15 of the first thin film layer 10 and the second signal line 25 of the second thin film layer 20 are printed, the first thin film layer 10 and the second thin film layer 20 can be directly attached to the two opposite surfaces of the spacer layer 30, so that the thin film switch device 1 is manufactured, and the jumper process and the electrical connection process are not required, so that the process steps are greatly reduced, the manufacturing time is saved, the product yield is improved, and the cost is reduced. In addition, the generation of ghost keys can be prevented without additionally increasing high-impedance design, and the manufacturing cost can be further reduced.

As shown in fig. 5, in an embodiment, the first signal line 15 of the first thin film layer 10 may also include a plurality of signal lines 151, one end of each of the signal lines 151 is electrically connected to the first trigger points 111, the other end of each of the signal lines 151 extends to the first outlet 12, and the signal lines 151 are not electrically connected to each other. In other words, each first trigger point 111 of the first film layer 10 can also extend out of one signal line 151 to the first outlet end 12, and each signal line 151 is not staggered with each other. Therefore, when one of the keys of the keyboard is pressed, one of the first trigger point 111 or the second trigger point 211 can be correspondingly pressed, so that the first trigger point 111 and the second trigger point 211 corresponding to each other are close to and in contact (for example, the leftmost first trigger point 111 and the second trigger point 211 in fig. 5 are in contact conduction with each other), so that the signal line 151 corresponding to the first thin film layer 10 is separately conducted through the second signal line 25 electrically connected to the contacted second trigger point 211 on the second thin film layer 20, and the processor can generate a function signal corresponding to the pressed key according to the conducting state, thereby preventing ghost keys from occurring.

In one embodiment, the membrane switch device 1 may be configured with a plurality of signal lines to accommodate products with more keys, and in addition, in order to fully utilize the space between the first membrane layer 10 and the second membrane layer 20 and make the wiring easier, a partition wiring manner may be adopted, which is described in detail as follows:

referring to fig. 2, 3 and 6, a plurality of third trigger points 111A and a plurality of fifth trigger points 111B are further disposed on the first surface 11 of the first film layer 10, for example, in the embodiment of fig. 2, the film switch device 1 is a film switch of a computer keyboard, the plurality of first trigger points 111 are a first area a1 on the first surface 11, the plurality of third trigger points 111A are a third area A3 on the first surface 11, and the plurality of fifth trigger points 111B are a fifth area a5 on the first surface 11, but this is not limited. That is, the first, third and fifth trigger points 111, 111A and 111B are respectively concentrated on different areas of the first surface 11 of the first film layer 10.

As shown in the third area a3 of fig. 2 and fig. 6, a plurality of third signal lines 15A are disposed on the first surface 11 of the first thin film layer 10, one end of each of the third signal lines 15A is electrically connected to a plurality of third trigger points 111A, the other end of each of the third signal lines 15A extends to the first outlet 12, each of the third signal lines 15A is independent and not electrically connected to each other, and each of the third signal lines 15A is also not electrically connected to the first signal line 15, that is, each of the third trigger points 111A extends to form a third signal line 15A to the first outlet 12, and each of the third signal lines 15A is not staggered with each other.

As shown in fig. 2, in an embodiment, since each of the third trigger points 111A needs to extend out of a third signal line 15A to the first outlet 12, the third area A3 where the plurality of third trigger points 111A are located can be closer to the first outlet 12 than the first area a1 where the plurality of first trigger points 111 are located and the fifth area a5 where the plurality of fifth trigger points 111B are located, so as to reduce the routing length and distance of each of the third signal lines 15A and facilitate routing, thereby achieving the purpose of fully utilizing the routing space, and making it difficult for the third signal lines 15A to be staggered without performing an additional process of jumping.

As shown in the fifth area a5 of fig. 2 and fig. 6, a fifth signal line 15B is disposed on the first surface 11 of the first film layer 10, the fifth signal line 15B is electrically connected to a plurality of fifth trigger points 111B and extends to the first outlet 12, in this embodiment, the fifth signal line 15B is a single line and is connected in series with the plurality of fifth trigger points 111B, and at least one end of the fifth signal line 15B extends to the first outlet 12. In other embodiments, the fifth signal line 15B may also include a plurality of lines, and one end of each of the plurality of lines is respectively connected to the plurality of fifth trigger points 111B, and the other end of each of the plurality of lines extends to the other wire outlet end of the first thin film layer 10. In some embodiments, the fifth signal line 15B may be connected in series (as shown in fig. 2) or separately from the first signal line 15.

Referring to fig. 3 and fig. 6, the second thin film layer 20 may also adopt a partition wiring manner, for example, as shown in fig. 3, a plurality of fourth trigger points 211A and fourth signal lines 25A are disposed on the second surface 21 of the second thin film layer 20, the plurality of fourth trigger points 211A are fourth areas a4 located on the second surface 21, wherein the fourth area a4 corresponds to the third area A3 of the first thin film layer 10, so that the plurality of fourth trigger points 211A respectively correspond to the plurality of third trigger points 111A of the first thin film layer 10, and the fourth signal lines 25A are electrically connected to the plurality of fourth trigger points 211A and extend to the second outlet 22. In this embodiment, the fourth signal line 25A is a line and is connected in series to a plurality of fourth trigger points 211A, the fourth signal line 25A of the second thin film layer 20 is not electrically connected to the plurality of third signal lines 15A of the first thin film layer 10, and the fourth signal line 25A is not electrically connected to the second signal line 25 of the first thin film layer 10. Thus, as shown in the middle set of circuits in fig. 6, when one of the keys corresponding to the set of circuits is pressed, the corresponding third trigger point 111A and the fourth trigger point 211A are close to and in contact with each other, so that the fourth signal line 25A only conducts the third signal line 15A electrically connected to the contacted third trigger point 111A, the processor can generate the function signal corresponding to the pressed key according to the conducting state, and the processor does not detect the signal corresponding to the key that is not pressed, thereby avoiding the generation of the error signal.

Referring to fig. 2, 3 and 6 again, the second film layer 20 includes a third wire outlet 26, and the second surface 21 is provided with a plurality of sixth trigger points 211B and a plurality of sixth signal lines 25B, the plurality of sixth trigger points 211B are located in a sixth area a6 on the second surface 21, wherein the sixth area a6 corresponds to the fifth area a5 of the first film layer 10, so that the plurality of sixth trigger points 211B respectively correspond to the plurality of fifth trigger points 111B of the first film layer 10, one ends of the plurality of sixth signal lines 25B are electrically connected to the plurality of sixth trigger points 211B, the other ends of the plurality of sixth signal lines 25B respectively extend to the third wire outlet 26, the plurality of sixth signal lines 25B are not electrically connected to each other, and the fifth signal line 15B and the plurality of sixth signal lines 25B of the first film layer 10 are also not electrically connected to each other. Thus, as shown in the lowermost set of circuits in fig. 6, when one of the keys corresponding to this set of circuits is pressed, the corresponding fifth trigger point 111B and the sixth trigger point 211B are close to and in contact with each other, so that the fifth signal line 15B only conducts the sixth signal line 25B electrically connected to the contacted sixth trigger point 211B, the processor can generate the function signal corresponding to the pressed key according to the conducting state, and the processor also cannot detect the signal corresponding to the key that is not pressed, thereby avoiding the generation of the error signal.

As shown in fig. 3, the sixth area a6 where the plurality of sixth trigger points 211B are located may be closer to the third wire outlet 26 than the fourth area a4 where the plurality of fourth trigger points 211A are located, so as to reduce the routing length and distance of each sixth signal line 25B and facilitate the routing, thereby achieving the purpose of fully utilizing the routing space and preventing the sixth signal lines 25B from being easily staggered without performing an additional jumper process.

In addition, referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3, in the present embodiment, the first thin film layer 10 has one outlet terminal (the first outlet terminal 12), and the second thin film layer 20 has two outlet terminals (the second outlet terminal 22 and the third outlet terminal 26), but this is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the first film layer 10 and the second film layer 20 can be reversed, or the outlet ends can be concentrated in the first film layer 10 or the second film layer 20.

In summary, in the thin film switch device 1 of the embodiment of the invention, in terms of process, after the signal lines (the first signal line 15, the third signal line 15A, and the fifth signal line 15B) of the first thin film layer 10 and the signal lines (the second signal line 25, the fourth signal line 25A, and the sixth signal line 25B) of the second thin film layer 20 are printed respectively, the first thin film layer 10 and the second thin film layer 20 can be directly attached to the two opposite surfaces of the spacer layer 30, so that the thin film switch device 1 is manufactured, and a jumper process and an electrical connection process are not needed, so that the process steps are greatly reduced, the manufacturing time is saved, the product yield is improved, and the cost is reduced. In addition, the generation of ghost keys can be prevented without additionally increasing high-impedance design, and the manufacturing cost can be further reduced.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
