Abstract:
In a solid polymer fuel cell, destabilization of a voltage when an output state is changed is suppressed, and flow of a corrosion current through a cooling liquid in a cooling liquid manifold is reduced. The fuel cell is constructed by laminating a plurality of fuel battery cells, each including an MEA, a pair of separators, a frame that surrounds the periphery of the MEA, an anode, and a cathode, and a cooling liquid manifold that is formed by the frame. A flow channel of the cooling liquid manifold has a constant flow channel cross-sectional area, and a flow channel length of the cooling liquid manifold, which is included in one of the fuel battery cells, along a flow channel direction is longer than the thickness of the one fuel battery cell in a stacked direction.

Abstract:
A chip is layered on a rewiring member. A plurality of connecting members and a plurality of redundant connecting members are arranged in the chip, and electrically connect the chip to the rewiring member. Redundant circuits are embedded in each of the rewiring member and the chip. When one of the connecting members is faulty, the redundant circuits cause one of the redundant connecting members to transmit a signal between the rewiring member and the chip, instead of the faulty connecting member. The connecting members have first and second subsets arranged in first and second regions, respectively. A distance between the rewiring member and the chip exceeds a predetermined threshold value in the first region in contrast to the second region. The first subset has a higher proportion of connecting members that the redundant circuits can replace with a subset of the redundant connecting members than the second subset.

Abstract:
An active matrix substrate capable of suppressing a change in an off characteristic of the TFT even when current passage time becomes longer is provided. A diode is connected between a video signal line and a conductive plate formed so as to cover a TFT of a pixel formation portion. Current is passed to the diode when a potential of a video signal applied to the video signal line is lower than that of the conductive plate, and the potential of the conductive plate becomes equal to that of the video signal line. No current flows when the potential of the video signal is higher than that of the conductive plate and the potential of the diode remains the same. Consequently, a leak current which flows from the pixel electrode of the pixel formation portion to the video signal line when the TFT is in the off state is suppressed.
