According to an idea of the present invention, an indoor unit of an air conditioner comprises: a housing having an inlet and an outlet; a heat exchanger provided inside the housing; a blower fan sucking air from the inlet and enabling the sucked air to exchange heat with the heat exchanger to discharge the air to the outlet; and an air current control device sucking the air near the outlet to control an air current discharged from the outlet. Therefore, the present invention can control the direction of the discharged air current without a blade structure, increases a discharge amount of the air, reduces a flow noise, and differentiates a design thereof. 본 발명의 사상에 따른 공기 조화기의 실내기는 흡입구와 토출구를 갖는 하우징과, 하우징의 내부에 마련되는 열교환기와, 흡입구에서 공기를 흡입하고 흡입된 공기를 열교환기와 열교환시켜 토출구로 토출시키는 송풍팬과, 토출구 주변의 공기를 흡입하여 토출구에서 토출되는 토출 기류를 제어하는 기류 제어 장치를 포함한다. 따라서, 종래의 블레이드 구조 없이 토출 기류의 방향을 제어할 수 있으며 토출량이 증대되고, 유동 소음이 감소하며, 디자인 차별화가 가능하다.
