Interface and clothing treatment apparatus including interface

A laundry treatment apparatus comprising:

• a drum which defines a space configured to receive laundry and which is rotated by a drive unit;
• an encoder comprising a first circuit board configured to control the drive unit, a stationary portion fixed to the first circuit board, a rotating portion rotatably coupled to the stationary portion, and a signal generator configured to transmit a control signal to a control circuit of the first circuit board upon rotation of the rotating portion;
• an actuator comprising a shaft fixed to the rotating portion, a handle which is fixed to the shaft and to which force required for rotation of the shaft is applied, a receiving space defined in the handle, and a handle through hole which is formed through one surface of the handle so as to allow the receiving space to communicate with an outside;
• a display unit comprising a fastening body which extends through the shaft and is fixed to the stationary portion, a stationary body which is fixed to the fastening body and is positioned in the receiving space, a mounting space defined in the stationary body, a display which is fixed in the mounting space and displays information, a second circuit board which controls the display and enables exchange of control signals with the first circuit board, and a cover which is fixed to the stationary body so as to close the mounting space;
• and
• a selector unit which is provided in the mounting space and is configured to transmit a control signal to a control circuit of the second circuit board when a user body comes into contact with the cover,
• wherein the selector unit comprises a first selector portion configured to receive a selection signal of a control command, and a second selector portion configured to receive an execution signal or a halt signal of a selected control command.
