Abstract
A light source module and a cooking appliance including the same may include a light source emitting light toward a glass top plate, a light source guide to accommodate the light source, including a light transmitting path formed in the light source guide, and limit a light irradiation region so as to guide light emitted from the light source to a light display region of the glass to plate through the light transmitting path, and an attachment bracket provided between the light source guide and the glass top plate, the attachment bracket having an optical emission path to allow light to pass from the light transmitting path and the light display region.
Claims20
A light source module comprising:
- a light source emitting light toward a glass top plate;
- a light source guide to accommodate the light source, form a light transmitting path formed therein, and limit a light irradiation region so as to guide light emitted from the light source to a light display region of the glass top plate through the light transmitting path;
- and
- an attachment bracket provided between the light source guide and the glass top plate, the attachment bracket having an optical emission path to allow light to pass from the light transmitting path to the light display region.
A cooking appliance comprising:
- a glass top plate that forms an outer appearance of an upper surface;
- a cooktop case that forms an internal space between the glass top plate;
- a heater in the internal space of the cooktop case;
- and
- a light source module that emits light to a light display region of the glass top plate,
- wherein the light source module includes:
- a light source that emits light toward the glass top plate;
- a light source guide to accommodate the light source, form a light transmitting path formed in the light source guide, and limit a light irradiation region to guide light emitted from the light source to the light display region through the light transmitting path;
- and
- an attachment bracket provided between the light source guide and the glass top plate and including an optical emission path formed in the attachment bracket to connect the light transmitting path and the light display region.
