  • Such a control panel is from the DE 102 58 563 B3 known.
  • a display of an electrical appliance in particular a household appliance has the task to provide the user device-specific information visually, which can read this. For example, in the case of an oven, this would be the status, temperature or remaining time of the current program.
  • the display is mounted as part of the aperture of such a device, said aperture is provided on the housing front.
  • this integrated in a stove timer display is very small.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a control panel for an electrical appliance, preferably a household appliance, with a control unit, which comprises at least one element for input of functional instructions and a display device for displaying device and / or function-specific information.
  • control panel for an electrical appliance, preferably a household appliance, with a control unit, which comprises at least one element for input of functional instructions and a display device for displaying device and / or function-specific information, wherein the control panel is the display device.
  • a control panel of an electrical appliance such as a household appliance, has at least one element for inputting functional instructions in its operating unit.
  • the control panel also has a display device that corresponds to the control panel.
  • the display device uses the entire control panel over the entire surface.
  • An advantage of a display device extending over the control panel is that, as a result of the larger display area, more information can be displayed or the appearance of the electrical appliance can be changed.
  • the display device provides information uncomplicated, ie easy and fast to detect by the user from. This display of operating states can be done, for example, immediately upon input of a function instruction or upon completion of a previously entered program. This facilitates the pragmatic handling of the devices, since the user can quickly get an overview without first having to deal extensively with detailed information. At the same time, the display device also provides detailed information which is accessible on request and which correspond to the function of a conventional display.
  • the control panel comprises a control unit with one or more input elements, such as buttons, rotary selector, switch or button.
  • input elements can be designed, for example, capacitively, inductively, mechanically or according to other technical principles. They are used to enter functional instructions such as switching on or off, programs or commands, querying certain information and the like.
  • the entire surface of the control panel is the display device.
  • An advantage of this embodiment is that the control panel in its entirety is capable of information output. Another advantage is that it is also possible to use a partial surface of the display device for this purpose.
  • control panel essentially comprises a transparent material.
  • a transparent material This may be made of translucent plastics such as e.g. Polycarbonate, PMMA or be made of glass or glass ceramic.
  • transparent light semiconductors, e-paper or conductive coatings on the control panel are also possible.
  • the aperture can also be partially transparent. This is achieved, for example, in that the panel is provided with an opaque coating. It is also possible a partial or full tint of the control panel. It is particularly advantageous on a control panel whose at least visible part is transparent that an optical signaling in a simple way can be implemented.
  • control panel comprises light elements which emit single or multi-colored light.
  • LED light-emitting diodes
  • the coupling of light into the control panel takes place indirectly via optical fibers or directly behind the panel.
  • the light elements either at different locations within the electrical appliance or directly behind the control panel.
  • the former requires optical fiber for coupling the light into the display device.
  • this gives freedom in the Layout behind the control panel.
  • individual areas of the display device can be specifically illuminated as needed.
  • the light guides are omitted and the light is coupled in directly.
  • backlighting and / or optical feedback for the visualization of information can be output.
  • the backlight is generated by the light elements.
  • the visual feedback for the visualization of information can be made over the entire area over the entire display device, but also over partial areas. Examples of such visualizations are flashing, flashing, prolonged light operation or different shades of lighting. The advantage of this is that the user can quickly capture the device and / or function-specific information.
  • An alternative embodiment has a reflective surface comprising at least the display device.
  • a reflective surface comprising at least the display device.
  • a mirrored or black surface is possible in order to make the interior behind the control panel invisible to the viewer.
  • coatings or of special materials such as phototropic or electro-tropic material.
  • the display device is designed as a functional film or comprises such a functional film.
  • An advantage of a functional film is its ability to implement various representations in a simple manner. It is also possible to apply the functional film on or behind the display device or the control panel. Functional films have a long service life and have a low power requirement. In such functional films tactile or sensor elements are integrated, whereby they are protected against environmental influences such as dust or moisture and allow for good flexibility of the functional films direct inputs.
  • the functional films may also be designed as electroluminescent film, as well as a flexible film.
  • the functional film is applied by screen printing or completely or partially injection-molded by injection molding, e.g. by in-mold process.
  • An alternative embodiment of the invention provides that the display device occupies at least a complete partial area of the electrical appliance.
  • the display device is no longer limited to the control panel, but covers entire partial surfaces of the electrical appliance.
  • the entire front or top can be used as an indicator. This facilitates the reading of important operating conditions and it is possible to transform the display into an overall concept in order to meet design requirements.
  • An electrical appliance comprises a control panel as described above.
  • Fig. 1 shows a control panel 10, which is attached to the front panel, here the front of an electrical appliance 12.
  • the operating front can be arranged differently. For example, in a top-loading washing machine or a stove on the top.
  • the display device 18 extends over the entire surface of the control panel 10 and can display information on its entire surface. This information can be a large-scale representation of operating states. Depending on the state, a different signal can be output. Thus, at the end of a program, the display 18 flash several times in color, eg. Green. These signals and information are clearly visible from a distance.
  • the display 18 may further provide detail information, such as time or a control menu, which in turn is operable with the control unit 14 and the associated input elements 16.
  • the operating unit 14 is located at any point of the control panel 10, shares with the display device 18, the used area and includes one or more input elements 16.
  • the design of the input elements 16 is arbitrary. Mechanical switches or knobs may be used, as well as inductive, piezoelectric or capacitive proximity sensors that can detect the touch of a finger.
  • the positioning and the size of the operating unit 14 on the visible part of the control panel 10 are arbitrary.
  • the operating unit 14 may also include the entire surface of the control panel 10 and the controls 16 may be distributed as desired.
  • Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 show a sectional view from the side of the electrical appliance 12 to make light elements 20 visible.
  • Fig. 2 the light elements 20 are arranged directly behind the control panel 10.
  • the light of the light elements 20 radiates directly through the control panel 10 and through the display device 18.
  • Fig. 3 shows the light elements 20, which are mounted anywhere in the interior of the electrical device 12.
  • the coupling of the light takes place here via a light guide 22, which leads the light to the control panel 10, and to the display device 18.
  • Light guide 22 and control panel 10 may be integrally formed.
  • the light elements 20 can be attached in various ways. For example, these may be on a printed circuit board or mounted on a socket or holder. Usually, LEDs are used as light elements 20, which can be controlled by a corresponding circuit in order to different display forms such as flashing, brightness gradients, color gradients, etc. to realize.
  • Fig. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of the invention. It is a control panel 14 attached to an electrical appliance 12 with a control unit 10 and one or more controls 16.
