Therefore, by providing a display device mounted in the internal space of the refrigerator so that the expiration date of the stored product is visible at a glance on one side of the storage means in which the stored product is stored, the effect that the user can easily recognize the expiration date of the stored product looking forward to

However, in this case, since the date display for knowing the storage date of food is limited to the refrigerator, it is inconvenient to adjust the storage date of the food stored in the refrigerator according to the type of food. There is a problem in that space utilization is greatly reduced, and in addition, since a refrigerator is essential, it cannot be applied to a refrigerator or a storage storage that is already in use.

Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a device capable of displaying the expiration date on a food storage container or packaging bag.
