The human-machine interaction mode is simple and convenient, and the intelligence of the refrigerator as an intelligent household appliance is significantly improved.

An artificial intelligence refrigerator according to one embodiment of the present disclosure can comprise: an inner door; an outer door having a transparent display on the front surface thereof; one or more cameras provided to the outer door; a sensor for sensing the opening/closing or opening angle of the outer door; and one or more processors for determining whether the opening angle of the outer door is a preset angle when closing of the outer door is sensed, photographing the inner door through the one or more cameras when the opening angle of the outer door is the preset angle, acquiring, on the basis of a captured image, the storage state of food stored in the inner door, and displaying food management information on the transparent display on the basis of the acquired storage state.

A household refrigeration appliance includes a body having a storage compartment disposed therein which is closeable by a terminating element. A display and/or control unit has a cover formed by a plate. A carrier frame is fastened to the rear of the plate and an electronic display and/or control is disposed on the carrier frame.

A wine storage apparatus is provided. The wine storage apparatus includes a housing, a door configured to open and close the housing and including a display, a rack provided inside the housing and configured to hold a bottle of wine, a sensor configured to obtain information about whether a bottle of wine is stored on the rack, and a processor configured to identify whether the bottle of wine is stored on the rack based on the information, and control the display to display guide information of the bottle of wine based on an identification result.

.[.The present embodiment provides a refrigerator. The refrigerator according to the present embodiment.]. .Iadd.A refrigerator .Iaddend.includes a panel member forming at least a portion of the exterior of the refrigerator, an inner case of which at least portion is spaced from the panel, a display case provided at one side of the panel member, insulating material filled in space between the panel member and the inner case, and a display unit mounted on the display case after the filling of the insulating material is completed.

A refrigerator and a display for a refrigerator are provided. The display may include a display plate defining an outer appearance of a front surface of the display, a plurality of display portions that displays information of the refrigerator and is formed by an arrangement of a plurality of fine through-holes that pass through the display plate, a plurality of operational interfaces formed on a front surface of the display plate and operated by a touch input, a touch PCB provided on a rear surface of the display plate and including a plurality of touch sensors at positions corresponding to the plurality of operational interfaces, a display PCB on which a LED that radiates light toward the plurality of fine through-holes is mounted, and a display cover provided close to the rear surface of the display plate and on which the touch PCB and the display PCB are mounted.

A temperature regulating apparatus can comprise a housing, an intake fan, an outlet fan, and one or more canisters containing a pressurized cooling gas, such as carbon dioxide, freon, nitrogen, difluoroethane, trifluoroethane, or tetrafluoroethane, positioned within the housing. The inlet fan draws warm air from outside of the housing into the housing through vent openings formed in the housing. Cooling gas is released from the cannisters when a temperature sensing device detects the ambient temperature is above a predetermined desired temperature, and the outlet fan blows cooled air out of the housing through the vent openings, whereby the ambient temperature outside of the housing can be cooled to the predetermined desired temperature.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet forming a storage space, a main door that opens and closes the storage space while defining an opening part that is in communication with the storage space, a sub-door mounted to the main door and configured to open and close the opening part, the sub-door including a panel assembly for allowing selective viewing of an inside of the opening part, the injection port is provided at a lower side of the sub-door to direct an insulating foaming solution to a space in the sub-door, a detection device for detecting an operation of a user, a lighting unit inside the refrigerator that turns on based on user operation to allow selective viewing of the inner side of the opening part, and a display unit inside the refrigerator at a position corresponding to the panel.
