Hereinafter, an embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the exterior of a refrigerator according to a first embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a partial perspective view of a refrigerator door according to a first embodiment.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the refrigerator 1 according to the present embodiment includes a main body in which a storage chamber is formed, and at least one door 30 coupled movably to the main body 10 to open/close the storage chamber.
Although not shown, the main body 10 includes a panel member and an inner case, wherein a heat insulator such as expanded polystyrene (EPS) is foamly filled between the panel member and the inner case.
A display unit 400 displaying at least an operation state of the refrigerator 1 is provided on the door. And, the display unit 400 allows an operation condition of the refrigerator to be selected by means of a touch method by way of example.
A display window 110 allowing information displayed by the display unit 400 to be shown is formed on the front surface of the door corresponding to the position of the display unit through a front surface of the door 30. The display window 110 is formed to be transparent or translucent.
Manipulating parts 130 guiding a user's touch are displayed on both right and left sides based on the display window 110 of the door 30. The manipulating parts 130, which are formed in the portions corresponding to sensing units 450 (see FIG. 5) (see FIG. 3) of the display unit 400, are printed or formed in a rugged shape on the front surface of the door 30 so that they can guide the positions of the sensing units 450.
And, sensors constituting the sensing units 450, which are capacitance sensors, sense microcurrent generated at the time of user's touch to generate input signals. Therefore, if a user touches the manipulating parts 130, the user's manipulation is sensed in the sensing units 450.
FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of a refrigerator door according to a first embodiment, FIG. 4 is a partial perspective view showing a structure that a display unit according to a first embodiment is mounted to a refrigerator door, and FIG. 5 is a rear perspective view of a front plate constituting a refrigerator door according to a first embodiment.
Referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, the door 30 includes a panel member 100 forming at least a portion of the exterior and an inner case 200 forming the shape of a rear surface. And, the panel member 100 is spaced from at least a portion of the inner case to form an insulation space and the insulation space is filled with insulating material 900.
The panel member 100 and the inner case 200 are coupled to each other by deco members 300, wherein the deco members 300 are coupled along edge boundaries of the panel member 100 and the inner case 200 to form a boundary surface of the door 30.
The panel member 100 is formed of tempered glass or plastic material, in an approximate rectangular plate shape, and a pattern is printed on the rear surface of the panel member 100.
The display window 110 is formed on the panel member 100 to be transparent or translucent. And, as described above, the manipulating parts 130 are formed on both right and left sides of the display window 110.
In the panel member 100, portions except the position of the display window 110 are colored and a separate printing job may be performed on the positions of the manipulating parts 130.
The inner case 200 is formed in a shape corresponding to the opening portion of a storage chamber formed in the main body 10. And, although not shown, gasket is provided to an edge of the door rider so that the storage chamber can keep airtight.
