Laundry treating apparatus

1. A laundry treating apparatus, comprising:

a body having a laundry introduction opening of a substantially circular shape;

a door configured to open or close the laundry introduction opening and having a display and a substantially circular shape and eccentric from the laundry introduction opening; and

a hinge having a mounting portion mounted to the body, and configured to rotatably connect the door to the body,

wherein an upper part of the door has a greater weight than a lower part of the door based on a horizontal center line of the door,

wherein a first protrusion provided above the horizontal center line of the door and a second protrusion provided below the horizontal center line of the door protrude from the mounting portion,

wherein the first and second protrusions are asymmetric to each other based on the horizontal center line of the door having the substantially circular shape, and

wherein a first lateral edge of the mounting portion is straight and a second lateral edge of the mounting portion is curved such that a horizontal width of the mounting portion gradually narrows from a top of the mounting portion to a bottom of the mounting portion.

2. The laundry treating apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a lower area of the mounting portion is smaller than an upper area of the mounting portion based on the horizontal center line of the door.

3. The laundry treating apparatus of claim 2 , wherein a width of the mounting portion is changed along a first direction.

4. The laundry treating apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a length from the horizontal center line of the door to an upper end of the mounting portion is longer than a length from the horizontal center line of the door to a lower end of the mounting portion.

5. The laundry treating apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a connection member to which the door is rotatably connected is mounted to the plurality of protrusions, or the door is rotatably connected to an end part of the plurality of protrusions.

6. The laundry treating apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a geometric center or a weight center of the mounting portion is positioned above the horizontal center line of the door.

7. The laundry treating apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the mounting portion is formed to be inclined from a vertical direction by a preset angle.

8. The laundry treating apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hinge includes:

a base member coupled to the body and comprising the mounting portion; and

a connection member having a first connection part connected to the base member and a second connection part to which the door is rotatably connected.

9. The laundry treating apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the first connection part is moveably coupled to the base member.

10. The laundry treating apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hinge includes at least part of an electric wire to electrically connect the display to a controller provided at the body.

11. A laundry treating apparatus, comprising:

a body having a substantially circular laundry introduction opening;

a door configured to open or close the laundry introduction opening and having a display and a substantially circular shape eccentric from the laundry introduction opening; and

a hinge having a mounting portion mounted to the body and configured to rotatably connect the door to the body,

wherein a length from a horizontal center line of the door to an upper end of the mounting portion is longer than a length from the horizontal center line of the door to a lower end of the mounting portion,

wherein an upper part of the door has a greater weight than a lower part of the door based on the horizontal center line of the door,

wherein a first protrusion provided above the horizontal center line of the door and a second protrusion provided below the horizontal center line of the door protrude from the mounting portion,

wherein the first and second protrusions are asymmetric to each other based on the horizontal center line of the door having the substantially circular shape, and

wherein a first lateral edge of the mounting portion is straight and a second lateral edge of the mounting portion is curved such that a horizontal width of the mounting portion gradually narrows from a top of the mounting portion to a bottom of the mounting portion.

12. The laundry treating apparatus of claim 11 , wherein a lower area of the mounting portion is smaller than an upper area of the mounting portion based on the horizontal center line of the door.

13. The laundry treating apparatus of claim 12 , wherein a width of the mounting portion is changed along a first direction.
