Refrigerator

The invention provides a refrigerator to suppress reduction of a heat insulating property while maintaining the visibility of a character expression part having a character release part. The refrigerator has a substrate, the character expression part arranged ahead of the substrate, and a reflection part arranged behind the substrate. The substrate has a substrate window, an edge of the circumference of the substrate window, a protruded edge part that extends toward the transverse direction from the longitudinal direction central site of the edge, and a light source which has an end side in the protruded edge part, and the character expression part has translucent character-shaped character release part. 本发明提供一种冰箱，维持具有文字抠除部的文字显现部的可见性且抑制隔热性的降低。冰箱具有基板、配置于基板前方的文字显现部、以及配置于基板后方的反射部，基板具有基板窗、基板窗周围的缘部、从缘部的长边方向中央侧向短边方向延伸的凸缘部、以及在凸缘部具有端部侧的发光源，文字显现部包含具有透光性的文字状的文字抠除部。
