Backlighting for Membrane Keypads
Backlighting for membrane keypads and keyboards - even illumination of keys, icons and display windows with no loss of tactile feel.
How Membrane Keypad Backlighting Works
Backlighting of membrane keypads and keyboards works like backlighting in other gadgets, including LCDs. A dedicated element lights the front of the keypad - when the device switches on, the backlight activates and shines upward into the upper keypad layer.
Backlit keypads carry an internal layer that directs light through selected keypad areas, with no effect on tactile feel. LinePro tunes the approach to your working conditions, product usage, graphic complexity and power requirements.

Good to Know Before You Enquire
Three facts that shape your exact quotation.
An internal layer points light through selected keypad areas only.
Keys, icons and nomenclature can be backlit together or individually, in mixed colors, at much lower cost than before.
In bright, well-lit settings keys read fine without backlighting.
In dim or dark conditions backlighting improves usability and reduces human errors - so match the feature to real usage.
