Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a refrigerator. Background technique [0002] Generally, a refrigerator is a household appliance capable of low-temperature storage of food in an internal storage space covered by a door of the refrigerator. For this reason, the refrigerator cools the inside of the storage space using cool air generated by heat exchange with the condensing agent of the refrigeration cycle, thereby being able to preserve stored food in an optimal state. [0003] In recent years, with the change of eating habits and the trend of high-end products, refrigerators have gradually become larger and more multifunctional, and refrigerators with various structures and convenient devices have been launched on the market to seek the convenience of users. Effective use of sex and interior space. [0004] The refrigerator door is used to open and close the storage space of the refrigerator. In addition, refrigerators of various shapes can be classified ac...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, in the prior art as described above, there is a problem that the structure and shape of the upper cover need to be changed in order to install the display unit, and the structure is complicated and numerous.

[0008] In addition, if the arrangement of the front panel of the refrigerator door and the display unit do not match, there is a problem that the displayed information is not clear, and the user cannot accurately perform operation input.

[0009] Moreover, there is a problem that the part for displaying information of the input part does not match the position, and thus it is difficult to operate intuitively.
