Referring to fig. 1, a cooking appliance 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention may include a housing 110, the housing 110 optionally including a base 11 and an upper cover 12. As further shown in fig. 2 and 3, the cooking appliance 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes an electronic assembly 120, and the electronic assembly 120 is disposed in the housing 110.

As shown in fig. 3, the housing 110 has a reduced thickness region 101, and the reduced thickness region 101 has a minimum thickness d > 0mm, in which case the reduced thickness region 101 has no hole structure penetrating the reduced thickness region 101.

The electronic assembly 120 includes a first light emitting element 121, the first light emitting element 121 is disposed on the inner side of the thickness-reduced region 101, and the thickness-reduced region 101 may be located on the outer side of the first light emitting element 121 to effectively block dust, moisture, and the like. At least a part of the light emitted from the first light-emitting element 121 can exit through the reduced thickness region 101, that is, at least a part of the light emitted from the reduced thickness region 101 by the first light-emitting element 121 can enter the reduced thickness region 101 from the inner side surface of the reduced thickness region 101, propagate in the reduced thickness region 101, and exit from the outer side surface of the reduced thickness region 101. When the first light emitting element 121 emits light, the housing 110 may exhibit an effect of emitting light to the outside at the reduced thickness region 101, thereby performing a display function.

In the above structure, the first light emitting member 121 is provided inside the reduced thickness region 101, and can propagate light through the reduced thickness region 101 and emit light outward. Because the thickness reduction area 101 is designed to reduce the thickness without penetration, the light can be emitted outwards more conveniently, and the light-emitting effect can be improved. At the same time, the housing 110 may also protect the electronic components 120.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 4, in the embodiment of the present invention, the housing 110 has a partial display opening 1031, that is, a display opening 1031 is provided at a partial position of the housing 110, and the electronic component 120 has a display screen 124, where the display screen 124 is located, and the display screen 124 can be seen by a user from the display opening 1031. The cooking appliance 100 further includes a display panel 130, the display panel 130 may be disposed at the display opening 1031, and the display panel 130 is located at an outer side of the display screen 124 of the display member 123, the display panel 130 is a transparent member or a translucent member, so that display information of the display screen 124, for example, cooking time or cooking temperature, etc., may be displayed outward through the display panel 130, so that a user may see the display information on the display screen 124 located at an inner side of the display panel 130 through the display panel 130 from the outer side of the display panel 130.
