Control panel of laundry machine

Abstract

A control panel of a laundry machine is disclosed. A control panel of a laundry machine includes a first operation part for selecting one of plural washing courses, a display part displaying the washing course selected by using the first operation part and a control part controlling the display part to display the washing course selected by using the first operation part. According to the control panel, it is unnecessary to print letters of the washing courses in the surface of the control panel. As a result, the exterior design of the control panel 110 may be improved and there may be no concern of the printed courses being erased.

1 . A control panel of a laundry machine comprising:
 a first operation part for generating a signal for sequentially displaying plural washing courses;   a control part for sequentially providing the plural washing courses according to the signal of the first operation part;   a display part for sequentially displaying the washing course provided by the control part in letters or figures.   
   
   
       2 . The control panel of the laundry machine as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a second operation part for selecting one of plural cycles composing the washing course, wherein the control part controls the display part to display the cycle selected by using the second operation part in letters or figures.   
   
   
       3 . The control panel of the laundry machine as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the second operation part comprises a plurality of buttons corresponding to the plural cycles composing the washing course. 
   
   
       4 . The control panel of the laundry machine as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the cycles selected by using the second operation part is sequentially displayed in the display part by a signal of the first operation part. 
   
   
       5 . The control panel of the laundry machine as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the cycle selected by using the second operation part is selected one of washing, rinsing, spinning and drying cycle. 
   
   
       6 . The control panel of the laundry machine as claimed in  claim 2 , further comprising a third operation part for selecting specific settings of the cycle, wherein the control part controls the display part to display the specific setting selected by using the third operation part in letters or figures. 
   
   
       7 . The control panel of the laundry machine as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the third operation part comprises a button to select and change the specific settings. 
   
   
       8 . The control panel of the laundry machine as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the specific setting selected by using the third operation part is changed by a signal of the first operation part. 
   
   
       9 . The control panel of the laundry machine as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the specific setting is selected one of a water temperature, water amount, the number of washings, rinsings and spinnings and the drying time. 
   
   
       10 . The control panel of the laundry machine as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first operation part is rotatable to generate a signal according to a rotation direction, and the control part displays the preset washing courses in the display part sequentially according to the signal. 
   
   
       11 . The control panel of the laundry machine as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the signal is a step signal correspondingly generated according to a rotation direction of the first operation part. 
   
   
       12 . The control panel of the laundry machine as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the signal is a single continuous signal correspondingly generated according to a rotation direction of the first operation part. 
   
   
       13 . The control panel of the laundry machine as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the first operation part transmits a different signal according to the rotation direction and the control part sequentially displays the washing courses in the display part according to the signal transmitted by the first operation part in a predetermined order or in an opposite order. 
   
   
       14 . The control panel of the laundry machine as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the order of the washing courses one-by-one displayed by the control part is changeable.
