Abstract: Disclosed herein are an apparatus of manufacturing a panel for home appliance by performing uniform surface processing on the panel and a method of manufacturing a home appliance by performing uniform surface processing on a panel. The apparatus of manufacturing a panel for home appliance includes a contacting roller configured to perform surface-processing on a panel that is to be processed; a pressing roller configured to press the panel toward the contacting roller; and a supporting roller configured to support a center middle portion of the contacting roller.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a metal plate including a plurality of pattern portions, a patterning apparatus configured to form a plurality of patterns on the metal plate, and a patterning method using the same. The metal plate to be used in a household appliance includes a plurality of pattern portions in which a hairline pattern is formed on a surface of the metal plate, wherein the plurality of pattern portions includes a first pattern portion having a first hairline pattern and a second pattern portion having a second hairline pattern different from the first hairline pattern.

Abstract: A home appliance has an improved structure to provide anti-fingerprinting properties and a method of manufacturing the same. The home appliance includes a main body including an internal space, a door provided to open and close the internal space, and a coating layer formed on at least one of the main body and the door, wherein the coating layer includes a first layer provided to cover a surface of at least one of the main body and the door and including silicon oxide, and a second layer provided to cover the first layer using an ultraviolet curing paint including a silane coupling agent.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a refrigerator having a body, storage compartments, and a door that opens/closes the storage compartments and comprises a front panel formed of a metal plate material, through holes being formed in the front panel, the method including forming the through holes in the front panel by performing an etching or laser process; and filling a filler member in the through holes so that foreign substances are prevented from permeating an internal space of the through holes.

Abstract: A door of a refrigerator includes a front panel formed of a metal material, a display unit including a display portion which is disposed at a rear side of the front panel and on which operating information of the refrigerator is displayed when the display portion becomes bright or dark, and a plurality of through holes formed in a region of the front panel corresponding to the display portion. Although the display unit is hidden inside the door, information displayed on the display unit can be seen to a user through the plurality of through holes.

Abstract: A transverse hairline forming apparatus includes a coil supporting unit to which a stainless steel coil is rotatably disposed; a coil winding unit spaced apart from the coil supporting unit, the coil winding unit holding and winding an end of the stainless steel coil; and at least one pair of surface treatment units disposed between the coil supporting unit and the coil winding unit, the at least one pair of surface treatment units configured to form transverse hairlines on a surface of the stainless steel coil perpendicular to a winding direction of the stainless steel coil. While the stainless steel coil is unwound and rewound on the coil winding unit, when the stainless steel coil passes below the at least one pair of surface treatment units, the at least one pair of surface treatment units form the transverse hairlines on the surface of the stainless steel coil.

Abstract: A door of a refrigerator includes a front plate formed of a metallic material, a display unit having a display part disposed at a rear surface of the front plate to brighten and darken and thus to display operation information of the refrigerator, and a plurality of through-holes formed in an area of the front plate corresponding to the display part. The display unit is hidden in the door, but a user may see the information displayed on the display unit through the through-holes of the front plate.
