Benefits of technology
The patent describes a built-in dishwasher that has an operation indicator to show its status. To prevent steam and other substances from damaging the external structure, a protective panel is placed at the ceiling of the receiving space. The panel is made of a light transmitting material to allow light emitted from the operation indicator to pass through. The protective panel has a diffuser pattern that scatters the light emitted from the operation indicator. This helps to prevent the light from leaking through the panel and damaging the external structure. The built-in dishwasher provides easy observation of its operating state and is aesthetically pleasing to the external structure.
Problems solved by technology
The built-in dishwasher, however, makes observation of an operating state (e.g., washing / rinsing / completion) of the dishwasher difficult and therefore, has been developed to have a configuration for easy observation of the operating state.
