摘要

PURPOSE: A refrigerator with monitor is provided to improve convenience for use by installing a display panel on a front surface of a door to be capable to pivot. CONSTITUTION: A monitor(10) includes a display panel(11); a case(12); a locking device(20); and an actuator(30). The case is installed on a door(3) and is where the display panel is joined to be capable to pivot. The locking device is placed between the case and the display panel and comprises a fixing protrusion; a housing; and a holding member(23) to lock or release the display panel. The fixing protrusion is placed on a back surface of the display panel. The housing is installed on the case corresponding with the fixing protrusion. The holding member is installed on the housing to lock or release the fixing protrusion. The actuator includes an elastic member(31) to make the display panel pivot at a certain angle to place the display panel slantingly when the locking device is released. The elastic member has one end(31a) placed on the back surface of the display panel and the other end(31c) contacting with the case to elastically support the display panel to a front side of the door.
