Abstract
A keyboard is illuminated by an electroluminescent panel positioned between the keyboard push buttons and the switch contacts. The electroluminescent panel provides good illumination because of its proximity to the push buttons, and an actuator for each push button extends through the electroluminescent panel to insure positive operation of the respective switch contact.
