Abstract

A luminous keyboard includes a light-emitting element, a membrane wiring board, plural keys, and a light guide plate module. The plural keys are used for correspondingly triggering the plural membrane switches. The light-emitting element is used for providing the light beam to the luminous keyboard. The light guide plate module includes a first reflective layer, a second reflective layer, and a light-guiding layer between the first reflective layer and the second reflective layer. The light-guiding layer includes plural light-outputting regions and a spacing region. The plural light-outputting regions are aligned with the plural keys, respectively. The spacing region is arranged around the plural light-outputting regions. Moreover, plural light-guiding dots are located at the plural light-outputting regions, and at least one light diffusion structure is located at the spacing region.
