Abstract

There is disclosed an ice making tray (100) that is able to perform ice-making and ice-ejecting conveniently, especially, that has no concern of ice-making water sparkling when ice-making water is introduced and of ice escaping when ice is ejected, and a refrigerant including the same. The ice making tray includes a case (101) to define an exterior appearance thereof, an ice making part (102) provided in a lower portion of the case, the ice making part comprising ice making spaces partitioned by a plurality of partition walls to accommodate ice-making water, an ice accommodating part (103) provided in an upper portion of the case to accommodate ice ejected to a top of the ice making part, and an opening formed in a predetermined side of the case to introduce the ice-making water into the case or to discharge the ejected ice, and the refrigerator includes the ice making tray.
