As shown in the figure, when the LCD monitor 200, which was seated on the accommodating part 320 of the refrigerator door 310, protrudes, the user hinges the bracket 140 hinged to the other end of the extension plate 130 from side to side. By rotating, the angle of the LCD monitor 200 is set, so that the user can watch the best picture quality.

On the contrary, in order to return to the initial state that the LCD monitor 200 is seated on the accommodating part 320, the LCD monitor 200 protruding toward the front of the refrigerator door 310 is pushed toward the fixing plate 110. The rotation plate 120 is in close contact with the fixed plate 110 and the extension plate 130 is inserted into the rotation plate 120. Therefore, the lower extension plate 160 connected to the lower portion of the bracket 140 is also inserted into the lower pivot plate 150, and the lower pivot plate 150 is closely attached to the fixed plate and eventually fixed to the bracket. Is returned to the initial state seated in the receiving portion of the refrigerator door.

And, in order to maintain the initial state, the hook 322 attached to the rear surface of the rotating plate 140 is locked to the locking portion 324 attached to the front of the fixing plate 110. Here, since the hook 322 and the engaging portion 324 is formed for the purpose of preventing the LCD monitor 200 from protruding freely from the housing 320, the hook 322 and, Obviously, not only the push button using the structural fastening such as the locking part 324 but also the locking means using the attraction force of the magnet can be used.

Since the tilting assembly of the display according to the present invention is protruded to the front of the refrigerator door and rotated left and right, the problem of vividness of the image quality varies depending on the position of the LCD monitor, which is a disadvantage of the LCD monitor.

In addition, when the bracket protrudes, the handle is formed on the refrigerator door so that the straightness is provided by the lower pivot plate and the lower extension plate installed at the lower part of the fixing plate so that the pivot plate installed on the bracket is not eccentric from side to side. And there is no fear of colliding with other accessories.

In addition, since the buried depth of the storage unit formed in the refrigerator door is only required as much as the thickness of the fixed plate, the thickness of the rotating plate in close contact with the front of the fixed plate, and the depth at which the LCD monitor is seated, an additional structural change for insulation of the refrigerator door There is no need to reinforce the insulation.

On the other hand, the present invention is not limited only to the above-described embodiment, but can be modified and modified within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention, the technical idea that such modifications and variations are also included in the claims Should be seen.
