Refrigerator including transparent display and control method therefor

The present specification discloses a refrigerator including a transparent display and a control method therefor. When a user is in contact with a contact sensor for a predetermined time or more, a display becomes transparent. When the contact disappears or a door is opened, the display becomes non-transparent. Meanwhile, even when the user makes a sliding-input or a knocking input to the contact sensor, the display may become transparent or non-transparent. The intention of a user who wants to see the interior of the refrigerator can be accurately discerned through an active action such as a contact. Thus, the present invention prevents the display from being unnecessarily switched to be transparent. 本说明书公开了种包括透明显示器的冰箱及其控制方法。当用户与接触传感器接触预定或更长时间时，显示器变得透明。当接触消失或者门打开时，显示器变得非透明。同时，即使当用户对于接触传感器实现滑动输入或者敲击输入时，显示器仍然可以变得透明或者非透明。能够通过诸如接触的主动动作准确地辨认希望看见冰箱内部的用户意图。因此，本发明防止显示器被不必要地切换成透明。
