Backlit Keypad Fascias

A keypad/keyboard usually forms a functional and aesthetic user interface between the control systems hardware and its software. The addition of backlighting significantly enhances the visual impact of the product or user interface.

Fibre Optic Backlit Keypad Fascias

Customark is leading the way to developing and printing fully functional Fibre Optic and Backlit Keypad Fascias with illumination, something that is usually dismissed by keypad printers/manufacturers due to a lack of experience, ability or understanding.

MORE INFORMATION

Backlighting is achieved, usually, by one of two methods. Fibre optics can be added where a single point of a light source is taken along optical strands and emits over a large surface area. This is generally more suited for overall backlighting rather than individual areas of the fascia or keypad. The fibre optic pad terminates on a tail which is attached to a standard 5mm high powered through-hole LED. The backlighting is subtle which is useful in dimly lit applications.

The second method of illumination utilises surface-mounted LEDs. The LED’s can either be mounted directly on to the switch circuit or alternatively on the back of the switch circuit which is more common on a capacitive touch application and backlit keypad fascias.
