Abstract:
A keyboard device includes a base plate, a key structure and a membrane switch circuit member. The membrane switch circuit member includes a first board and a second board. The first board includes a first circuit pattern, a conductive paste mark and a first insulation layer. The conductive paste mark is dispensed or sprayed on the first board or the first circuit pattern to define an equivalent resistance. Consequently, a ghosting problem is avoided. The second board includes a second circuit pattern and a second insulation layer. Since the first contact and the second contact are separated from each other through the first insulation layer and the second insulation layer, it is not necessary to install the separation layer in the membrane switch circuit member.

Claim (Index 1):
A keyboard device, comprising:\n a base plate; at least one key structure exposed outside the keyboard and connected with the base plate; and a membrane switch circuit member arranged between the base plate and the at least one key structure, wherein when the membrane switch circuit member is pressed by the at least one key structure, at least one key signal is correspondingly generated, wherein the membrane switch circuit member comprises:\n a first board comprising a first circuit pattern and a conductive paste mark, wherein the first circuit pattern is disposed on the first board, a first contact of the first circuit pattern is formed on the first board, and the conductive paste mark is disposed on the first circuit pattern and located near the first contact; and \n a second board comprising a second circuit pattern, wherein a second contact of the second circuit pattern is formed on the second board, wherein when the second contact and the first contact are contacted with each other, the at least one key signal is generated, wherein the conductive paste mark is sprayed or dispensed on the first circuit pattern so as to define an equivalent resistance.
