The left reflecting plate 212A is bent to the right from the tip of the left plate portion 212A 'and the left plate portion 212A' positioned on the left side of the left LED 206A, and left bent to cover the front of the left LED 206A. Section 212A ".

The right reflecting plate 212B is bent to the left at the tip of the right plate portion 212B 'and the right plate portion 212B' positioned on the right side of the right LED 206B, and is bent at the right side to cover the front of the right LED 206B. Section 212B ".

  In the air conditioner according to the present embodiment, when power is input to the light emitting unit 200, the left LED 206A and the right LED 206B irradiate light, and the left reflector 212A of the light irradiated from the left LED 206A. ) Is irradiated toward the right LED 206B, and the light irradiated to the right reflector 212B among the light irradiated from the right LED 206B is irradiated toward the left LED 206A.

The light irradiated as described above transmits the light transmitting member 208 and then brightens the decoration unit 180. That is, the light of the light emitting unit 200 brightens the decoration unit 180 by indirect lighting, and the decoration unit 180 is formed with a soft light like mood lighting.

On the other hand, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, the protruding portion is not formed in the rear decorative member 192, the whole of the rear decorative member 192 is formed in a plate-shaped front of the front decorative member 182 Only one space may be formed between the protruding portion 183 and the front of the rear decorative member 182, and the thickness of the front decorative member 182 and the rear decorative member 192 is formed differently so as to be above the refractive index of light. It is also possible to form a three-dimensional effect, the plate or sheet having a coating layer or coating layer is disposed on the rear surface of the decorative member, in particular the rear decorative member 192 or the painting layer or coating layer on the rear surface of the decorative member, in particular the rear decorative member 192 It is also possible to form, and of course, various implementations are possible within the technical scope to which this invention belongs.
