Original Abstract Submitted
A dishwasher includes an indicator configured to display a visual image by projecting a light beam to an external floor, wherein the indicator including a holder including an accommodating space, a light source module positioned in the accommodating space, the light source module being configured to generate the light beam, a first lens configured to refract the light beam generated in the light source module, an LCD module configured to generate the visual image by partially blocking the light beam having passed through the first lens, a reflector configured to change a traveling path of the visible light beam having passed through the LCD module toward the external floor, and a second lens configured to refract the visible light beam of which the traveling path is changed, wherein a stopper rib is provided on an inner surface of the holder, and wherein the reflector is supported by the stopper rib.
