Operation device and refrigerator/freezer

摘要

In this operation device at least some of multiple display elements (9) are formed in a row of at least three sections (10, 11, 12), and light sources (15), which are provided in correspondence with at least one of the display elements (9) forming the section (11) located in the center of the three sections (10, 11, 12), are arranged such that the light axis of the light source is approximately perpendicular to the direction in which the row is aligned. Thus, when the direction of the user's line of sight changes, the frequency with which the light-emitting element of the light sources (15) enters the user's field of vision is reduced, thereby making the display element (9) easier to read.
