Keyflex has been designing and manufacturing high-quality membrane keypads since 1993, supplying reliable solutions to customers across Australia and around the world.
The light guide film (LGF) introduces built-in LED backlighting to Keyflex membrane keypads and front panel decals, enabling text and entire key illumination. Our LGF ensures uniform light distribution across the keypad or decal front panel while maintaining a thickness comparable to standard membrane switch panels. Integrating LED backlighting requires thoughtful consideration and meticulous planning to achieve successful implementation in a design. There are crucial design criteria and limitations to understand, so if an integrated backlight is a feature you’re considering for your design, we encourage you to contact Keyflex in West Leederville, Australia, directly for more detailed information. Our experience since 1993 ensures we can assist effectively.
Keyflex uses high-quality materials to ensure every membrane keypad delivers reliable performance in demanding environments.
Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC), often recognised by the brand name Kapton™, offers an essential level of flexibility and efficiency. This flexibility is crucial in creating advanced membrane keypads. These circuits are made from a flexible and durable polyimide film, which is well-known for its excellent thermal stability and ability to endure harsh environmental conditions. The flexible nature of FPCs allows for the development of complex, customised circuit designs that easily fit into various device structures. This provides a streamlined and efficient alternative to traditional circuit board arrangements. This flexibility not only helps in reducing the overall size of electronic parts but also ensures reliable performance in applications that need high flexibility and miniaturisation, like wearable technology and aerospace instrumentation.
