A digital printing membrane keypad is a type of electronic device that consists of an array of buttons, or keys, which are typically made of a flexible membrane material. The membrane is coated with conductive ink or other conductive layers, and each key has a corresponding printed contact underneath. When a button is pressed, the conductive layer makes electrical contact with the underlying layer, creating a signal that can be interpreted by an electronic circuit.
This type of keypad is called "digital printing" because the key legends (the text or symbols on the buttons) are created using digital printing techniques, such as inkjet or screen printing. This allows for customization of key labels, making it suitable for various applications like consumer electronics, appliances, industrial controls, and even custom-designed keyboards.
