An operation mode of an air cleaner is changed according to the degree of indoor air contamination and an indoor space condition, and one or more filters of the air cleaner can be easily cleaned. The air cleaner includes a housing, an inlet located at a lower part of the housing, a filter assembly, an outlet, and a brush unit. The filter assembly is located above the inlet, and a diameter of the filter assembly is gradually shortened in the direction from an upper part of the filter assembly to a lower part of the filter assembly. The discharge port is located above a second filter assembly. The brush unit is used to eliminate contaminants from an outer surface of the filter assembly.

Air cleaner

A washing machine and a control method thereof are provided. More particularly, a washing machine of supplying a detergent automatically to a detergent mixing tub using a detachable detergent supply container, or of supplying a softening agent automatically to a softening agent mixing tub using a detachable softening agent supply container, and a method of controlling the washing machine are disclosed. Some of the disclosed embodiments provide a washing machine of supplying a detergent automatically to a washing tub using a detergent supply unit with a detergent supply container, and of supplying a softening agent automatically to the washing tub using a softening agent supply unit with a softening agent supply container, and a method of controlling the washing machine.

Washing machine and control method thereof

A washing apparatus and a control method of the washing apparatus in which a detergent received in a detergent supply case capable of being inserted or separated is automatically supplied to a mixing tank or a softening agent received in a softening agent supply case capable of being inserted or separated is automatically supplied to the mixing tank. According to one embodiment of the washing apparatus and the control method thereof, the detergent automatically supplied from the detergent supply case capable of being inserted or separated and a washing water are mixed together and a detergent-mixed water is supplied to a washing tub, or the softening agent automatically supplied from the softening agent supply case capable of being inserted or separated and a washing water are mixed together and then a softening agent-mixed water is supplied to the washing tub.

Washing apparatus and control method thereof

An induction heating cooking device includes a cooking table having an auxiliary slit through which light passes; an induction coil for generating a magnetic field so as to inductively heat a cooking container placed on the cooking table; at least one light source disposed at the outer edge of the induction coil; an optical member for changing the traveling direction of light emitted the light source and concentrating the light, and a main slit through which light emitted from the optical member passes so as to form a flame image on the cooking container. The induction heating cooking device forms a virtual flame image on the lower surface of a cooking container at the time of operation of the induction coil, thereby enabling the heating state of the cooking container to be easily recognized.

Induction heating cooking device

Provided are a drying device having an improved structure in which an object to be dried is prevented from being damaged during a drying operation, and a clothes treating apparatus including the same. The drying device may include a casing, a drying chamber positioned inside the casing, a first drying rack positioned inside the drying chamber, and a second drying rack positioned above the first drying rack.

Drying device and clothes treating apparatus including the same

Provided is a cooking apparatus including: an induction heating coil that generates a magnetic field heating a cooking container; and an image generating unit that radiates light so that an image is generated on a surface of the cooking container, wherein the image generating unit includes: a plurality of light sources that radiate light toward the cooking container; a light source driving circuit that provides driving currents to the plurality of light sources; and a light-emitting controller that controls the light source driving circuit.

Cooking apparatus

A refrigerator capable of supplying water without opening a door and deteriorating the aesthetic quality of the refrigerator is provided. The refrigerator includes a main body in which a food storage space is formed, a door to open or close one side of the main body and a water dispensing member having an outlet. The water dispensing member is provided so as to be movable in the forward and backward directions and located at a first position at which the water dispensing member is accommodated in the door or at a second position at which the water dispensing member protrudes forward from the door.

Refrigerator

An induction heating cooker includes heat resistant glass; an induction coil unit located under the heat resistant glass to generate a magnetic field; a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) provided outside the induction coil unit while being spaced apart from each other along a circumferential direction of the induction coil unit; a printed circuit board, the plurality of LEDs being mounted on the printed circuit board; a light blocking film provided on a lower surface of the heat resistant glass; and a slit formed in the light blocking film and allowing light radiated from the plurality of LEDs to pass therethrough.

Induction heating cooker

An induction heating cooker including reinforced heat resistant glass on which a cooking vessel is placed, an induction coil unit located under the reinforced heat resistant glass and configured to generate a magnetic field, a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) provided radially outside and vertically below the induction coil unit while being spaced apart from each other along a circumferential direction of the induction coil unit, a plurality of convex lenses provided on front surfaces of the plurality of LEDs, respectively, a light blocking film provided on a lower surface of the reinforced heat resistant glass, and a slit formed in the light blocking film and allowing light radiated from the plurality of LEDs to pass therethrough, so that light radiated from the LEDs are slantingly projected to form an image of flame, which looks real, on a lower end portion of a side surface of the cooking vessel.

Top board for an electric range

Disclosed is a backlight unit and a display device using the same, which includes a first reflector, a second reflectorand at least one light source moduledisposed between the first and second reflectors, wherein a back surface of the first reflector comprises an inclined planeand a flat surface, with facing the second reflector, and the inclined plane is adjacent to the light source and the flat surface is extended from an end of the inclined plane, with the inclined plane and the flat surface being collinear.
