Abstract (en)
[origin: US2006089732A1] One embodiment of the invention concerns an electrical household apparatus, for example a washing machine, equipped with a control device in the form of a panel, said panel comprising a display device for providing visual data to the user. Said panel ( 10 ) is made of a material which is substantially opaque when it has a normal thickness ( 14 ). One area specific to the display device ( 15 ) comprises at least one transparency zone ( 20 ) wherein the thickness of the panel material is reduced relative to the thickness of the material outside said transparency zone such that light from a light source ( 16 ), for example a light-emitting diode, located behind the panel may pass through said transparency zone. Such a configuration provides backlighted panels having a closed surface. In another embodiment, the control device is in the form of a turning knob ( 70, 80 ).
