Key device and electronic apparatus containing the key device

摘要

A key device and electronic apparatus containing the key device. The key device comprises a housing (31) and key structure, a hollow accommodating space (311) in the housing (31). The key structure comprising: a key body (32), at least part of the key body (32) being accommodated in the hollow accommodating space (311); a lateral contacting structure (33) within the hollow accommodating space (311) and comprising a contacting portion (332) provided at the outer side of the key body (32), and when being pressed, the lateral contacting structure (33) being squeezed by the key body (32), so that the contacting portion (332) is in contact with a flexible printed circuit board (34); and a flexible printed circuit board (34) within the hollow accommodating space (311) at the outer side of the contacting portion (332) for inducting the lateral contact of the contacting portion (332). Since lateral contact is made with the flexible printed circuit board (34), the key may be transparent when the key body (32) is transparent.
