The Fn key changes the state of the keyboard so that the next key that is pressed while the Fn key is held down will generate a different scan code than it would without the Fn key. Look at it as an alternate Ctrl or Alt key.

Usually press with other buttons as well to change the brightness and volume of laptops. Something like combo.
