The household appliance 1000 is illustrated by taking a microwave oven as an example for the convenience of explaining the implementation of the present application and should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application.

[0029] Specifically, the color filter layer 12 includes at least two color filters stacked. In one embodiment, the color filter layer 12 includes three color filters stacked, and the three color filters may be of the same size, thickness, and shape, and the patterns set on the three color filters are different. Three different color lights can pass through the three color filters with different patterns, respectively, so that three different patterns can be displayed, and the colors of each pattern are also different.

[0030] It is understood that in other embodiments, among the three color filter layers, the patterns arranged on two of them are the same, and the pattern arranged on one of them is different. That is, among all the color filters, the patterns arranged on at least two of them are different.

[0031] In addition, the number of color films can be set according to actual needs, not limited to three, but can also be two, or more than three. The patterns on two adjacent color films can be overlapped or staggered in the thickness direction, which is not specifically limited here.

[0032] The pattern can be text, graphics, symbols, letters, or any combination of text, graphics, symbols, and letters, and is not specifically limited here. In the embodiment of the present application, the pattern is described as text.

[0033] In some embodiments, the color filter layer 12 may be disposed between the touch layer 11 and the light source 20. In some embodiments, the touch layer 11 may be disposed between the color filter layer 12 and the light source 20. Figure 1 It is understandable that the positional relationship between the touch layer 11 and the color filter layer 12 can be set according to requirements, which is not limited here.

[0034] In one embodiment, the touch layer 11 includes an indium tin oxide (ITO) layer, which has good electrical conductivity and optical transparency. After being touched by a user, the indium tin oxide layer generates a corresponding touch signal according to the position touched by the user, and the controller 30 can obtain the touch signal.

[0035] Please continue reading Figure 1 In some embodiments, the display control component 100 further includes an interface 40, and the controller 30 can supply power to the display control component 100 through a power line 41 and the interface 40. The controller 30 can also communicate with the touch layer 11 through a communication line 42 and the interface 40 to obtain a touch signal of the touch layer 11. The controller 30 can also communicate with the light source 20 through the communication line 42 and the interface 40.

[0036] In some embodiments, the light source 20 may be a backlight source. The light source 20 may be a surface light source; the light source 20 may also be a line light source composed of a plurality of point light sources, that is, a plurality of point light sources are arranged in a row to form a linear light source, and then the line light source is transformed into a surface light source through a light guide. In this way, the emission area of ​​the surface light source is larger, brighter and more uniform.

[0037] In one embodiment, the light source 20 may include a plurality of LED (Light Emitting Diode) lamps, each of which is equivalent to a point light source. The plurality of LED lamps are arranged in a row to form a linear light source, and the linear light source is transmitted to the light guide, which can produce a bright and uniform surface light source. It is worth mentioning that the light source 20 may include a plurality of LED lamp beads that can emit different colors. For example, the light source 20 includes LED lamp beads that emit three different colors, namely, LED lamp beads that emit yellow light, LED lamp beads that emit red light, and LED lamp beads that emit purple light. In this way, the light source 20 can emit yellow light, red light, and purple light respectively under the control of the controller 30.

[0038] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the household appliance 1000 includes a cooking component 200 , and the controller 30 is connected to the cooking component 200 .

[0039] In one embodiment, the household appliance 1000 may be a microwave oven, which includes a cooking component 200. The cooking component 200 includes a microwave cooking component, a grill cooking component, and a steam cooking component. The user can use the microwave cooking component to defrost and heat food in microwaves; the user can use the grill cooking component to grill food; and the user can use the steam cooking component to steam food. In this way, the household appliance 1000 can switch between three working modes, and the controller 30 connects the cooking component 200 and the touch component 10. The controller 30 can select the working mode of the cooking component 200 according to the touch signal of the touch component 10. It meets the needs of users for multiple cooking methods and improves the user experience.

[0040] It can be understood that in other embodiments, depending on the type of the home appliance 1000 , the home appliance 1000 may include other functional components, rather than being limited to the cooking component 200 .

[0041] In some embodiments, the household appliance 1000 further includes a display screen 300, which can be used to display the current working state of the household appliance 1000, the preparatory working mode of the household appliance 1000, cooking parameters, etc., which are not limited here. The display screen 300 can be an LCD display screen, an LED display screen, or an OLED display screen, which are not specifically limited here.

[0042] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the display control component 100 includes a mode switching area 101 and a function setting area 102 adapted to the mode switching area 101. The controller 30 is used to control the light source 20 to emit a default color light so that the mode switching area 101 displays a default mode pattern, and the function setting area 102 displays a default function setting pattern when the display control component 100 is powered on.

[0043] In this way, it is convenient for users to select default modes and function settings.

[0044] Specifically, please combine Figure 3 , Figure 3 1 is an illustration of regions of the display control component 100. The display control component 100 includes a mode switching region 101 and a function setting region 102.

[0045] Mode switching area 101: can be used as a "mode switching" button. Repeated clicking can switch the working mode of the household appliance 1000, for example, switching between the three modes of "microwave mode", "grill mode" and "steam mode".

[0046] The function setting area 102 includes a plurality of function setting areas, for example, Figure 3 In the menu, the power area can be used as the "power" button. Click the "power" button to set the power. The time area can be used as the "time" button. Click the "time" button to set the cooking time. The composite key area can be used as a variety of function buttons. Select different modes to display different button contents. The start area and pause / end area can be used as the "start" button and "pause / end" button to control the cooking status.

[0047] After the household appliance 1000 is turned on, the display control component 100 is powered on. The household appliance 1000 may be a microwave oven. After the household appliance 100 is powered on, it may directly enter a default mode, such as "microwave mode". The light source 20 may emit a default color light so that the mode switching area 101 displays a default mode pattern. For example, the default color may be orange, and the mode pattern that can be seen through the orange color film is the word "microwave mode". Therefore, after powering on, the mode pattern displayed by the color film is "microwave mode", such as Figure 4 A. It can be understood that in other embodiments, other mode patterns can also be displayed, and are not limited to the "microwave mode" pattern.

[0048] In some embodiments, the controller 30 is used to control the light source 20 to emit light of different colors according to a touch signal in the mode switching area 101 so that the mode switching area 101 displays different mode patterns.

[0049] In this way, the mode switching area 101 displays different mode patterns, and switching between different modes can be achieved.

[0050] See also Figure 4 A to Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 3C , in one embodiment, the household appliance 1000 may be a microwave oven. After the household appliance 1000 is powered on, it directly enters the "microwave mode". When the user clicks the mode switching area 101, it can be switched to the "grill mode". Specifically, the controller 30 detects the touch signal of the mode switching area 101, controls the light emitted by the light source 20 to change from orange to red, and the color film changes to red synchronously, so that the mode pattern "grill mode" set on the red color film can be displayed. Figure 4 B. The user clicks the mode switching area 101 again to switch to the "steam mode". Specifically, the controller 30 detects the touch signal of the mode switching area 101, controls the light emitted by the light source 20 to change from red to purple, and the color film changes to purple synchronously, so that the mode pattern "steam mode" set on the purple color film can be displayed, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 C. It should be noted that there is no requirement for the color of light in different modes, it is just an example. In addition to the color change of the light, the display content of the composite key area also changes synchronously.

[0051] In some embodiments, the controller 30 is configured to control the light source 20 to emit light of different colors according to a touch signal in the mode switching area 101 so that the function setting area 102 displays different function setting patterns.

[0052] In this way, the different function setting patterns displayed in the function setting area 102 can be adapted to the multiple mode patterns of the mode switching area 101, satisfying both practicality and interest.

[0053] See also Figure 4 A to Figure 4As shown in Figure C, in one embodiment, the household appliance 1000 may be a microwave oven, steamer, and grill. When the household appliance 1000 is in "grill mode", the user can switch to "steam mode" when clicking the mode switching area 101. Specifically, the controller 30 detects a touch signal of the mode switching area 101, controls the light emitted by the light source 20 to change from red to purple, and the color film changes to purple synchronously, so that the mode pattern "steam mode" set on the purple color film can be displayed. The function setting pattern displayed in the function setting area 102 can be adapted to the mode pattern of "microwave mode" in the mode switching area 101. The controller 30 detects a touch signal of the mode switching area 101, controls the light emitted by the light source 20 to change from red to purple, and the color film changes to purple synchronously, so that the function setting pattern set on the purple color film can be displayed. In one embodiment: the controller 30 detects a touch signal of the mode switching area 101, controls the light emitted by the light source 20 to change from red to purple, and the color film changes to purple synchronously. When the mode switching area 101 displays the purple “steam mode” mode pattern, the red function setting pattern originally displayed in the function setting area 102 may be changed to a purple function setting pattern.

[0054] See also Figure 5 In some embodiments, the function setting area 102 includes a first area 1021 and a second area 1022. The pattern on the color film corresponding to the first area 1021 is the same, but different colors of light can be transmitted; the pattern on the color film corresponding to the second area 1022 is partially the same and partially different, and different colors of light can be transmitted.

[0055] The patterns on the color films corresponding to the first area 1021 are the same, but the colors of light that can be transmitted are different. Thus, after the light source 20 emits the color light, the corresponding color films in the first area 1021 can transmit the color light emitted by the light source 20, so that the display patterns corresponding to the first area 1021 are the same. That is to say, the patterns that the household appliance 1000 needs to display in each mode, such as "power", "time", "start", "pause / end", can be displayed through the first area 1021. For example, in the microwave mode, the light source 20 emits yellow light, and the corresponding color films in the first area 1021 can transmit the yellow light, so as to display patterns such as "power", "time", "start", "pause / end"; for another example, in the grilling mode, the light source 20 emits red light, and the corresponding color films in the first area 1021 can transmit the red light, so as to display patterns such as "power", "time", "start", "pause / end"; for another example, in the steam mode, the light source 20 emits purple light, and the corresponding color films in the first area 1021 can transmit the purple light, so as to display patterns such as "power", "time", "start", "pause / end", etc.

[0056] The patterns on the color films corresponding to the second area 1022 are partially the same and partially different, and the colors of light that can be transmitted are different. That is to say, the patterns on at least two color films corresponding to the second area 1022 are different. After the light source 20 emits the colored light, the corresponding color films in the second area 1022 can transmit the colored light emitted by the light source 20, so that the display patterns corresponding to the second area 1022 can be the same or different. In this way, some difference information in the second area 1022 can be used, for example, patterns such as "P+" (power increase), "P-" (power decrease), "T+" (time increase), and "T-" (time decrease) can be displayed, and patterns such as "upper outer tube", "lower tube", "upper inner tube", and "hot air" can also be displayed, thereby realizing the multiplexing of the display function of the second area 1022. For example, in the barbecue mode, if the light source 20 emits red light, the corresponding color film in the second area 1022 can transmit the red light, thereby displaying patterns such as "upper outer tube", "lower tube", "upper inner tube", and "hot air"; if the light source 20 emits green light, the corresponding color film in the second area 1022 can transmit the green light, thereby displaying patterns such as "P+", "P-", "T+", and "T-".

[0057] In some embodiments, the first area 1021 includes a function selection area, and the second area 1022 is defined as a parameter adjustment area or a function mode area according to different display patterns; the controller 30 is used to control the light source 20 to emit colored light so that the second area 1022 is displayed as a parameter adjustment area according to the touch signal in the function selection area; adjust the parameter size according to the touch signal in the parameter adjustment area; the controller 30 is used to select a corresponding function mode according to the touch signal in the function mode area when the second area 1022 is defined as a function mode area; after selecting the corresponding function mode, control the light source 20 to emit colored light according to the touch signal in the function selection area so that the second area 1022 is displayed as a parameter adjustment area; adjust the parameter size according to the touch signal in the parameter adjustment area.

[0058] The function setting area 102 may include one or more first areas 1021, and may also include one or more second areas 1022. In the embodiment of the present application, the function setting area 102 includes two first areas 1021 and one second area 1022, and the second area 1022 is located between the two first areas 1021. Among them, one first area 1021 is a function selection area, and the function selection area can display patterns such as "power" and "time". There is an interactive association between the function selection area and the second area 1022, so the second area 1022 can be located between the two first areas 1021. Specifically, the second area 1022 is defined as a parameter adjustment area or a function mode area according to different display patterns, wherein the parameter adjustment area can display patterns such as "P+", "P-", "T+", "T-", and the function mode area can display patterns such as "upper outer tube", "lower tube", "upper inner tube", and "hot air". The controller 30 is used to control the light source 20 to emit colored light according to the touch signal in the function selection area, for example, according to the touch signal on "power", so that the second area 1022 is displayed as a parameter adjustment area, thereby displaying patterns such as "P+", "P-", "T+", "T-", etc., and adjust the parameter size according to the touch signal in the parameter adjustment area. For example, the power parameter can be increased by the touch signal of "P+", and the power parameter can be decreased by the touch signal of "P-".

[0059] The controller 30 is used to select a corresponding functional mode according to a touch signal in the functional mode area when the second area 1022 is defined as a functional mode area, for example, by selecting to set the functional mode of the "upper outer tube" through a touch signal on the "upper outer tube"; after selecting the corresponding functional mode, according to the touch signal in the function selection area, for example, according to the touch signal on "time", control the light source 20 to emit colored light so that the second area 1022 is displayed as a parameter adjustment area, thereby displaying patterns such as "P+", "P-", "T+", "T-", and the parameter size is adjusted according to the touch signal in the parameter adjustment area, for example, the time parameter can be increased by a touch signal of "T+", and the time parameter can be decreased by a touch signal of "T-".

[0060] Please continue reading Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first area 1021 includes a start area and a pause / end area. The controller 30 is used to control the home appliance 1000 to start working according to a touch signal in the start area; the controller 30 is used to control the home appliance 1000 to pause / end working according to a touch signal in the pause / end area.

[0061] In this way, the operation of the household appliance 1000 is simple, ensuring the user experience.

[0062] Specifically, after the user selects the function mode of the home appliance 1000 and adjusts the parameter size, the user can confirm the setting content again through the display screen 300. The user can touch the start area, and the start area displays the function setting pattern of "start". The controller 30 controls the home appliance 1000 to start working according to the touch signal in the start area.

[0063] When the user wants to observe the state of the food at a close distance, the user can touch the pause / end area for a short time, and the pause / end area displays the function setting pattern of "pause / end area". The controller 30 is used to control the home appliance 1000 to pause according to the touch signal in the pause / end area, and the user can open the door of the microwave oven to observe the food. The user can click the start area, and the controller 30 controls the home appliance 1000 to start working again.

[0064] When the user wants to end cooking, the user can touch the pause / end area for a long time, and the pause / end area displays the function setting pattern of "pause / end area". The controller 30 is used to control the home appliance 1000 to end the work according to the touch signal in the pause / end area.

[0066] Step 01: Detecting a touch signal on the touch component 10;

[0067] Step 02: According to the touch signal, the light source 20 is controlled to emit light of different colors so that the color film can display corresponding patterns.
