Abstract:
A method for controlling a water supply amount and a refrigerator using the same are disclosed. The method includes receiving information regarding a water supply amount selected by a user, counting a duration after starting water supply, and checking whether an error in a water supply amount measurement unit exists. When the water supply amount measurement unit is normal, an actual water supply amount is determined based on a signal from the water supply amount measurement unit, and, when a fault exists, a water supply amount is determined based on correlation between a stored water supply amount for normal operation and a water supply duration. Water supply is stopped when the selected water supply amount and the determined water supply amount are equal. When the water supply amount measurement unit is normal, the signal from the water supply amount measurement unit and information regarding a water supply duration are stored.
Abstract:
A refrigerator is provided, including a refrigerator body having first and second cooling chambers formed therein, partitioned by a barrier wall, an evaporator provided within the barrier wall, a first cooling fan disposed at one side of the evaporator to blow cooling air into the first cooling chamber, and a second cooling fan provided at the other side of the evaporator to blow cooling air to the second cooling chamber. First and second suction openings are formed at upper and lower surfaces of the barrier wall, respectively, such that air drawn into the barrier wall through the first and second suction openings are brought into contact with different regions of the evaporator and is not mixed, so that the first and second cooling chambers may be separately or simultaneously cooled to appropriate temperatures.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a display device including a light source to provide first linearly polarized light, a first mirror to reflect the first linearly polarized light, a phase retarder to convert the first linearly polarized light into first circularly polarized light, and a second mirror to reflect the first circularly polarized light as second circularly polarized light. The second circularly polarized light is converted into second linearly polarized light having a different polarization direction from that of the first linearly polarized light. The first mirror is configured as a polarization reflection mirror to reflect the first linearly polarized light and to pass the second linearly polarized light, and the first mirror is provided in a path of the second linearly polarized light. The second linearly polarized light passes through the first mirror and is reflected by a windshield so as to transmit an image to a user.
