Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a water purifier that has a water discharge unit capable of dispensing purified, cold, and hot water. The water discharge unit includes a rotating body and a water discharge tube that can change its position based on the rotation of the body. The purifier also has a display device with two light sources, a light guide cover, and a guide case. These components work together to guide the light emitted from the light sources onto the light guide cover without mixing them. The light guide cover projects the light from the first light source towards the water discharge tube, indicating the direction of water flow. It also projects the light from the second light source onto the outer surface of the display device to indicate which type of water (purified, cold, or hot) is selected.
