A laundry treating apparatus including a control panel body (20) including an opening (22), at least one light source, a rotary knob (50) having an outer circumferential surface spaced from a circumference of the opening (22) to manipulate a rotary switch (46), a knob spacing member (56) disposed between the rotary knob (50) and the circumference of the opening (22), and a window (82) through which light emitted from the light source passes, wherein a clearance (T) is formed between the knob spacing member (56) and the circumference of the opening (22), and the window (82) includes a light transmission portion (84) disposed in the clearance (T) to surround a circumference of the knob spacing member (56). This arrangement prevents contaminants from infiltrating between the knob spacing member and the circumference of the opening by the light transmission portion of the window, and represents an arcuate or annular lighting pattern around the knob spacing member in a continuous manner, thus creating wider variety of lighting patterns. |
