In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] In addition, the terms "horizontal", "vertical" and the like do not mean that the components are required to be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" only means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical", and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0031] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the display device provided by the present invention includes: a display panel 1, and the material of the display panel 1 can be glass.

[0033] A plurality of imaging units are arranged on the display panel 1. The imaging units may be in the shape of bars, lines or arcs, depending on the pattern structure to be formed. A plurality of imaging units can be combined to form at least two different pattern structures, and the number of imaging units constituting each pattern structure may be different. It is important that there is at least one common imaging unit in two different pattern structures, that is, no matter which of the two pattern structures is to be displayed, the common imaging unit will be lit, and the more common imaging units there are, the fewer imaging units are required overall, and the lower the cost.

[0034] During use, when the display device is required to display the first image, several imaging units corresponding to the image can be lit, and the light emitted by these lit imaging units constitutes the first image; similarly, when the display device is required to display the second image, the previous imaging unit can be turned off, and then several other imaging units can be correspondingly lit, and the light emitted by these lit imaging units constitutes the second image. Since there is at least one common imaging unit in the two different pattern structures, the number of imaging units used can be saved and the production cost can be reduced. At the same time, the centralized arrangement of the imaging units can also make the available space on the display panel 1 larger.

[0035] In an implementable solution, the imaging unit may be a strip-shaped light-emitting strip, and the light-emitting strip is attached to the back of the display panel 1 .

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the imaging unit includes an imaging slot 2 and a light source unit. The imaging slot 2 is arranged on the back of the display panel 1, the opening of the imaging slot 2 faces the back of the display panel 1, and the bottom surface of the imaging slot 2 is light-transmissive. The light source unit emits light into the imaging slot 2. The light generated by the light source unit will propagate in the imaging slot 2, and then light up the bottom surface of the imaging slot 2, and then corresponding bright stripes will appear on the front of the display panel 1. All the illuminated bright stripes surround the pattern to be displayed, and the pattern can be a "chicken" pattern or a "fish" pattern, etc.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pattern structure on the display panel 1 has a "chicken" pattern or a "fish" pattern. Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , when a “chicken” pattern needs to be displayed, light source unit No. 7, light source unit No. 1, light source unit No. 2, and light source unit No. 4 can be turned on, and the other light source units can be turned off. Figure 3 As shown, when the "fish" pattern needs to be displayed, light source unit No. 6, light source unit No. 3, and light source unit No. 4 can be lit, and the other light source units are extinguished. Light source unit No. 4 is used in both patterns.

[0038] Specifically, the light source unit includes a light emitting member 4 and a light guide member, one end of the light guide member is connected to the light emitting member 4, and the other end is connected to the imaging slot 2. The imaging unit can switch to emit at least two different colors of light. Specifically, the light emitting member 4 can be a three-color lamp that can emit different colors to correspond to different cooking stages. For example, it can emit yellow light to indicate that cooking is in progress, green light to indicate that cooking is complete, and red light to indicate that cooking is abnormal. The light guide member can be a light guide column 3. The strip-shaped light guide column 3 can guide the light emitted by the light emitting member 4 located at the edge of the display panel 1 to the imaging slot 2 located in the middle of the display panel 1. The light guide column 3 takes in light at the end face and emits light at the end face to avoid light loss. The light emitting member 4 located at the edge of the display panel 1 will not interfere with other components.

[0039] In order to prevent some imaging slots 2 from being unable to be fully illuminated due to being too long or bent, for some imaging slots 2, the same imaging slot 2 corresponds to at least two light source units.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the top opening of the imaging slot 2 is closed by a cover plate 21, and the cover plate 21 is opaque, thereby preventing light loss and improving the imaging brightness on the front of the display panel 1. Furthermore, a reflective film 22 is provided on the inner groove wall of the imaging slot 2 and the inner side surface of the cover plate 21, which can improve the smoothness of light propagation and make the entire imaging slot 2 evenly illuminated.

[0041] The cooking device provided by the utility model includes the above-mentioned display device. Since the cooking device provided by the utility model uses the above-mentioned display device, the cooking device provided by the utility model also has the advantages of the display device.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solution deviate from the scope of the technical solution of the embodiments of the utility model.
