Abstract
Provided is a lighting device for a refrigerator. A cold air duct is disposed at a rear surface of a storage room of the refrigerator, and the lighting device is disposed at the cold air duct for illuminating the storage room. Therefore, the storage capacity of the refrigerator does not decrease by the lighting device, and the efficiency of the refrigerator can increase. In addition, a user is not dazzled by light emitted from the lighting device.
Claims25
A lighting device for a refrigerator, comprising:
- a cold air duct at a side of a storage room of the refrigerator;
- at least one printed circuit board at a front surface of the cold air duct;
- and at least one light emitting diode (LED) at the printed circuit board, the light emitting diode being configured to emit light in an oblique direction with respect to a front side of the storage room.
A lighting device for a refrigerator, comprising:
- at least one light emitting diode module disposed on a front surface of a cold air duct at a predetermined side of a storage room of the refrigerator, the light emitting diode module being configured to emit light in an oblique direction with respect to a front side of the storage room;
- at least one light emitting diode cover configured to cover the light emitting diode module and transmit light emitted from the light emitting diode module toward an inside area of the storage room;
- and
- at least one reflector at the front surface of the cold air duct, the reflector being configured to reflect light emitted from the light emitting diode module toward the inside area of the storage room.
A lighting device for a refrigerator, comprising:
- a light emitting diode module at a predetermined side of a storage room of the refrigerator, the light emitting diode module being configured to emit light for illuminating the storage room;
- a light emitting diode cover configured to cover the light emitting diode module;
- and
- a blocking portion disposed at the light emitting diode cover for blocking light emitted from the light emitting diode module toward a front side of the storage room.
A lighting device for a refrigerator, comprising:
- a light emitting diode module at a predetermined side of a storage room of the refrigerator, the light emitting diode module being configured to emit light for illuminating the storage room;
- a light emitting diode cover configured to cover the light emitting diode module;
- and
- a scattering portion disposed at the light emitting diode cover for scattering light emitted from the light emitting diode module toward a front side of the storage room.
