Reversible display module including transparent display panel and display system including the display module
First Claim
1. An electric device comprising:
- a main body comprising a storage chamber with an opening;
a door including a transparent display module configured to be movably coupled to the main body, wherein the transparent display module includes a frame and a transparent display panel installed in the frame;
a detector configured to detect existence of a shuman adjacent to the electric device;
a movement detector configured to detect a movement of the door and output a movement detection signal corresponding to the movement; and
a controller configured to;
change a transparency of the transparent display module based on a signal output by the detector,identify a position of the transparent display panel on the movement detection signal, andcontrol the transparent display module to reverse an image displayed on the transparent display panel based on the position of the transparent display module being changed from a closed position to an open position.

16. An electric device comprising:
-
a main body comprising a storage chamber with an opening; a door including a transparent display module configured to be movably coupled to the main body, wherein the transparent display module includes a frame and a transparent display panel installed in the frame; a movement detector configured to detect a movement of the door and output a movement detection signal corresponding to the movement; and a controller configured to; control the transparent display module to reverse an image displayed on the transparent display panel based on a position of the transparent display module being changed from a closed position to an open position; wherein the main body comprises a first charging terminal connected to a power source, wherein the transparent display module comprises a rechargeable battery and a second charging terminal connected to the rechargeable battery such that the rechargeable battery is charged by the power source when the first charging terminal and the second charging terminal are in contact with each other, wherein the first charging terminal and the second charging terminal are separated from each other when the door is open, and wherein the first charging terminal and the second charging terminal come in contact with each other when the door is closed. - View Dependent Claims (17)
