Easy-Access Fridge Panels

LG's 'InstaView' Panel Offers a Peek at What's Inside the Fridge

— August 24, 2016 — Art & Design
LG's is now using InstaView technology and ColdSaver panels in its refrigerators in order to help consumers see and easily access items that are stored inside.

Opening a refrigerator door means that the the cold air that keeps food items fresh leaks out and is replaced by room-temperature air, which the appliance needs to work harder to chill. As a result, a consumer's energy bill and environmental footprint grow if a fridge door is opened needlessly.

There are now four new LG fridge designs that feature Door-in-Door technology to easily allow consumers to grab frequently used items without having to open the entire fridge system. To illuminate a compartment, consumers need only tap on the glass panel to see a preview of the items stored inside.
Trend Themes
1. Instaview Technology - The use of InstaView technology in refrigerators allows consumers to easily see and access items stored inside, reducing the need to open the door and saving energy.
2. Coldsaver Panels - The incorporation of ColdSaver panels in refrigerators helps maintain the cold air inside when the door is opened, minimizing energy consumption and environmental impact.
3. Door-in-door Technology - Fridge designs with Door-in-Door technology enable consumers to conveniently retrieve frequently used items without opening the entire fridge, leading to energy savings and improved efficiency.
Industry Implications
1. Home Appliance - The home appliance industry can leverage InstaView, ColdSaver panels, and Door-in-Door technology to develop energy-efficient and user-friendly refrigeration solutions.
2. Energy Conservation - The energy conservation industry can explore partnerships with fridge manufacturers to promote the adoption of InstaView, ColdSaver panels, and Door-in-Door technology for reduced energy consumption.
3. Environmental Sustainability - The environmental sustainability sector can collaborate with refrigerator companies to support the integration of InstaView, ColdSaver panels, and Door-in-Door technology, actively contributing to energy-saving practices and reducing carbon footprint.
