The display device of the air conditioner according to the present invention for solving the above problems is a display unit rotatably installed on the front of the cabinet with a heat exchanger and a blower for sucking and heat-exchanging the indoor air discharged to the outside; It is composed of a drive unit mounted to the cabinet to rotate the display unit.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the air conditioner according to the present invention.

The exterior of the air conditioner according to the present invention is a display that is rotatably installed on the front of the cabinet 62 with a heat exchanger and a blower for sucking and heat-exchanging the indoor air discharged to the outside as shown in FIG. And a driving unit 76 mounted on the cabinet 62 to rotate the display unit 70.

Both sides of the cabinet 62 protrude obliquely to form a planar shape as a whole, and the inlet port 52 is formed under both sides of the cabinet 62, and the outlet port 54 is the front of the cabinet 62. Since it is formed on the upper side and the upper side of both sides, the heat-exchanged air can be easily discharged not only in the front direction of the cabinet 62 but also in the lateral space, so that the indoor air can be evenly distributed.

In addition, the upper part of the cabinet 62, the discharge port door 58 is installed to open and close the front while moving the front discharge port 54 in the vertical direction, and close the discharge port door 58 to secure the space 60 It protrudes forward and is configured to eliminate the step between the discharge port door 58 and the front panel 56.

In particular, the display device 70 is rotatably installed between the front panel 56 and the space securing panel 60 to improve the overall aesthetics of the product even when the product is not operated.

4 is a perspective view showing the front of the display device of the air conditioner according to the present invention, Figure 5 is a perspective view showing the back of the display device of the air conditioner according to the present invention, Figure 6 is a 'AA' cross-sectional view of FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 'BB' of FIG. 6.
