Patent ID: 8048356

Claim:
A method for manufacturing keypad having three-dimensional patterns, comprising the steps of: a) preparing a first mold, and filling a first ultra-violet curable resin in the first mold; b) disposing a shaping layer in the first mold, and overlapping the shaping layer on the first ultra-violet curable resin; c) irradiating the first ultra-violet curable resin with an ultra-violet lamp to cure the resin to form a pattern layer, and forming a plurality of three-dimensional patterns on a front surface of the pattern layer; d) preparing a second mold, and filling a second ultra-violet resin into the second mold; e) disposing an assembled structure formed in the step c) in the second mold and overlapping the assembled structure on the second ultra-violet curable resin; f) irradiating the second ultra-violet curable resin with the ultra-violet lamp to cure the resin to form a keycap layer, and forming a plurality of keycaps on a front surface of the keycap layer; and g) printing a shielding layer on a back surface of the shaping layer, and forming a plurality of hollowed regions beneath the three-dimensional patterns.
