Abstract
An air conditioner is provided. The air conditioner includes a housing, a heat exchanger positioned inside the housing, a fan for blowing air into the heat exchanger such that heat in the blown air is exchanged with the heat exchanger, a duct including a first channel forming surface, and a second channel forming surface, a porous panel corresponding to the second channel forming surface, and including a plurality of pores, a blade for swiveling between an open position and a closed position, blocking the low wind-speed channel at the open position so that air passed through the basic channel can be discharged outside of the air conditioner, moving the air passed through the basic channel to the low wind-speed channel, and discharging the air to the outside via the pores at the closed position, a driver for driving the blade to swivel, and a processor configured to control the driver.
