Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A laundry treatment apparatus comprising:
 a cabinet;   a door rotatably coupled to the cabinet;   an inner case disposed inside the cabinet to provide an accommodation space for laundry, the inner case being opened by the door;   a circulation duct disposed below the inner case to provide a flow path for circulation of air inside the inner case;   a heat supply part configured to heat the air flowing along the circulation duct;   an ironing module comprising a steam iron disposed on one side of the circulation duct, the steam iron being configured to be pulled out toward the laundry; and   a screen part coupled to the door to display at least one of a power supply status or an operation status of the heat supply part and the ironing module,   wherein the screen part is exposable on a rear surface of the door.   
     
     
         2 . The laundry treatment apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the screen part is coupled to one side of the door and arranged to be withdrawn to an outside of the door. 
     
     
         3 . The laundry treatment apparatus of  claim 2 ,
 wherein the screen part is provided to display at least one of the power supply status and the operating status on at least one of a front surface and rear surface.   
     
     
         4 . The laundry treatment apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the screen part is rotatably coupled to one side of the door to expose to an outside of the door. 
     
     
         5 . The laundry treatment apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein a direction of rotation of the door from the cabinet is different from a direction of rotation of the screen part from the door. 
     
     
         6 . The laundry treatment apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a light emitter disposed at an upper end of the cabinet or at an upper end of the inner case to indicate a status of the iron module.   
     
     
         7 . The laundry treatment apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the light emitter is shieldable by the door. 
     
     
         8 . The laundry treatment apparatus of  claim 6 , further comprising:
 a water supply container removably disposed in front of the circulation duct to store water to be supplied to the ironing module,   wherein the light emitter is configured to indicate a water shortage status of the water supply container.   
     
     
         9 . The laundry treatment apparatus of  claim 6 , further comprising:
 a drainage container removably disposed in front of the circulation duct to drain water collected from the iron module,   wherein the light emitter is configured to indicate a water fill status of the drainage container.   
     
     
         10 . The laundry treatment apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the light emitter is configured to indicate an inoperative state of the iron module. 
     
     
         11 . The laundry treatment apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the light emitter comprises a plurality of light bulbs or light emitting diodes (LEDs),
 wherein the light emitter is configured to indicate different information based on a bulb or LED tuned on among the bulbs or LEDs or a number of bulbs or LEDs turned on among the bulbs or LEDs.
