Oven door and oven comprising an oven door

1. An oven door for closing an oven cavity, said door comprising a door glass and a projection unit adapted to project incident light onto a projection area of the door glass in order to provide a graphical display on the door glass, said door glass comprising particles essentially equally distributed across said graphical display and being adapted to emit or reflect resultant light based on the incident light in order to display information visible from in front of the oven door, and a user control interface comprising a touch screen, a touchpad or a gesture recognition means, said user control interface at least partially overlapping said projection area and adapted to detect user interactions for controlling cooking functions.

2. The oven door according to claim 1 , wherein the door glass comprises at least a light emission layer including the particles, said particles being adapted to emit the resultant light towards a space in front of the oven door based on the incident light provided by the projection unit.

3. The oven door according to claim 1 , wherein the door glass comprises a transparent film comprising the particles, said particles being adapted to emit the resultant light towards a space in front of the oven door based on the incident light provided by the projection unit.

4. The oven door according to claim 2 , wherein said particles are fluorescent particles which are adapted to emit light when activated by light of a certain activation wavelength and wherein the projection unit is adapted to emit light according to said activation wavelength.

5. The oven door according to claim 4 , wherein the projection unit is adapted to emit light in the UV- or IR-wavelength spectrum.

6. The oven door according to claim 1 , wherein the door glass comprises a holographic glass comprising the particles, said particles being adapted to reflect the resultant light towards a space in front of the oven door.

7. The oven door according to claim 1 , wherein the projection unit is a Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) projection unit, a Digital Light Processing (DLP) projection unit or a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) projection unit.

8. The oven door according to claim 1 , wherein the user control interface comprises a touch-sensitive interface of resistive or capacitive type, an infrared touch interface or a touch interface based on surface acoustic waves.

9. The oven door according to claim 1 , wherein said door glass comprises at least two glass panes, said glass panes being arranged at a distance from one another in order to form a space between adjacent glass panes.

10. The oven door according to claim 1 , comprising cooling means for providing an airflow flowing through a space between two glass panes.

11. An oven for preparing food comprising an oven cavity included in an oven base body and the oven door according to claim 1 .

12. The oven according to claim 11 , wherein the projection unit is electrically coupled with a control unit and/or power supply arranged in the oven base body via an electrical wiring, an inductive coupling, door contacts and/or wireless transmission means.

13. The oven according to claim 11 , wherein the user control interface is electrically coupled with a control unit and/or power supply arranged in the oven base body via an electrical wiring, an inductive coupling, door contacts and/or wireless transmission means.

14. The oven door according to claim 1 , said particles comprising fluorescent particles integrated in a glass pane of said door glass or contained in a film disposed thereon and effective to absorb said incident light and to emit said resultant light, said projector being adapted to selectively project said incident light toward said projection area in a non-visible spectrum in order to selectively excite select particles among said fluorescent particles in order to emit said resultant light in a visible spectrum to display select information.

15. The oven door according to claim 14 , said door glass comprising a first glass pane and a second glass pane spaced apart from one another and defining a space therebetween that is hermetically sealed and filled with an inert gas, one of said first and second glass panes comprising a heat-reflective coating, said user control interface being disposed in said space between the first and second glass panes.

16. The oven door according to claim 1 , said particles comprising mirror-like particles integrated in a glass pane of said door glass or contained in a film disposed thereon and effective to reflect said incident light toward a space in front of said oven door.

17. The oven door according to claim 1 , further comprising a door handle for opening the door, the projection unit being disposed on the door handle.
