<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a user perceive that an operation of the user has been detected by a touch switch using a capacitance type sensor. <P>SOLUTION: A refrigerator includes: a door 22 for closing a front opening part of a refrigerator body; the touch switch 36 configured using the capacitance type sensor provided to the door for detecting the amount of capacitance of a human body; a light emitting diode 46 for notifying the user that the touch sensor 36 has detected the amount of capacitance of the user; a detection electrode 42 of the touch switch; and a transparent resin plate 40 overlapping the detection electrode. The refrigerator is provided with a lighting display part 62 for displaying, as lighting, the light emitting diode 46 to the outside, and an opaque part 64, and is configured such that the light emitting diode 46 is disposed behind the opaque part 64, and light emitted by the light emitting diode is displayed as lighting to the outside via the lighting display part 62. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
