- FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of the air conditioner indoor unit 2 and its remote controller 1 as viewed from the front.
- An inlet 11 is formed at the lower side with an outlet 11 at a position between the inlet 10 and the outlet 11, for example, a heating operation and a cooling operation performed by the indoor unit 2.
- a main body display unit 3 for displaying an operation state such as operation is provided.
- the main body display section 3 includes a reflector or a light guide plate capable of diffusing light, and three left and right sides of the main body display section 3 are provided with three LEDs 4 of different colors. 4 (for example, red, blue, green, etc.) are provided in pairs. By adjusting the brightness of these LEDs 4 and 4, respectively, the color can be changed steplessly.
- the remote controller 1 for remotely operating the indoor unit 2 has independent operation buttons 6, 6 (operation means, ) Is provided so that the user can press the operating button 6 in the desired operation mode once to start operation in that mode immediately.
- operation buttons 6, 6 operation means, a color corresponding to each operation mode is given. That is, in this embodiment, the operation button 6 for heating is red, the operation button 6 for cooling is blue, the operation button 6 for dehumidification is green, the operation button 6 for humidification is orange, and so on.
- Each six has a different color.
- the remote control 1 is used to operate an operation button / off button (not shown) or to adjust room temperature, air volume, wind direction, etc., and to set a current time and a timer.
- Various operation buttons are provided. Then, according to the operation of these operation buttons, a light signal such as infrared light is emitted from the transmission unit 7 located at the upper end of the remote control main body 5, and transmitted to the indoor unit 2. Further, in this embodiment, when an operation mode such as heating, cooling, and dehumidification is selected using the remote control device 1, the same color as the selected operation button 6 is displayed on the main body display 3 of the indoor unit 2.
