- the storage space of the refrigerator can be opened and closed by a door.
- the refrigerator can be classified into various types.
- refrigerators have a problem in that you cannot check the food inside without opening the door. In other words, the user has to open the door to check whether the food you want is stored in the space inside the refrigerator or in a separate storage space provided in the door. In addition, if you do not know the exact location of the food, the time or number of times you open the door may increase, and in this case, there is a problem that unnecessary cold air leakage may occur.
- refrigerators have been developed that make part of the refrigerator door transparent or allow the inside of the refrigerator to be seen in order to solve these problems.
