Washing machine using planar display

Abstract

The invention relates to a washing machine adopting a panel display, which comprises a controlling panel and a controller. The panel display is provided with the panel display and which is controlled and lightened by the controller to indicate the setting condition or / and the prior operating process, and a key switch for selecting the settings, characters and graphic signs of the setting condition or / and the prior operating process are arranged on the outer side of the periphery of the panel display adjacent to the controlling panel, a cursor controlled and lightened by the controller to point and indicate the characters or / and the graphic signs of the setting condition or / and the prior operating process of the washing machine is arranged on the inner side of the periphery of the panel display. The design can reduce the area of the panel display, to reduce cost or to design a display with more quantities or / and larger size, to enhance the operating function or / and the clearness; one key switch for controlling the cursor lightening position to move to a certain direction and the other key switch for controlling the cursor lightening position to move to a reverse direction can be designed, as a result to reduce the key pressing times.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a washing machine using a flat panel display, which can belong to D06F33 / 02 in the international patent classification table. Background technique [0002] The control panel of the existing fully automatic washing machine is usually provided with signal devices indicating the setting state or the current operation process and the key switches surrounding these signal devices to select these settings. When these key switches are operated or the washing machine is running, the signal device The indications and settings of the washing machine or the current cycle it is in will change accordingly. Among them, the light-emitting devices of the signal device have developed from the signal lamps, light-emitting diodes and digital tubes that were isolated and scattered in the early stage to continuous screen flat-panel displays with graphic display functions, including liquid crystal displays and fluorescent displays. Because the cost...

Problems solved by technology

Because the cost of flat-panel displays is positively correlated with its display area, when using these flat-panel displays in prior art washing machines, there is a contradiction between the display area and the number and size of the signals accommodated; for cost control, the number of signals has to be limited, so that the influence use functions; or limit the size of the signal so that it affects clarity
