  • Publication number: 20130104976
    Abstract: There is provided a solar cell with an interconnection sheet, wherein a first wiring of the interconnection sheet is made of a material that is less likely to cause ion migration than a metal material forming a first electrode of the solar cell, and a width of the first wiring is larger than a width of the first electrode. There is also provided a solar cell module including the solar cell with the interconnection sheet, and a method for manufacturing the solar cell with the interconnection sheet.

  • Publication number: 20130104977
    Abstract: A solar cell (8), a solar cell with an interconnection, a solar cell module, and a method of manufacturing the solar cell with an interconnection are provided. The solar cell (8) includes a substrate (1), a first electrode (6, 7) disposed on one of surfaces of the substrate (1), a first covering layer (66, 67) covering the surface of the first electrode (6, 7). The first covering layer (66, 67) is made of a material by which ion migration is less likely occur as compared with a metal material forming the first electrode (6, 7).

  • Patent number: 5739888
    Abstract: A glass substrate having the first through fourth thin films formed thereon and a glass substrate having the fifth through seventh thin films formed thereon are bonded to each other with the thin-film forming surfaces facing each other through a seal member that is located at the surrounding portion of the substrates. Seal-portion spacers, which are to be mixed in the seal member, are made of glass beads with a spherical particle shape, and the rate thereof to the seal material is set to 7 to 20 Wt %. Further, the particle diameter of the spherical-shaped spacers is represented by (the layer thickness A of a liquid crystal layer)+(the total thickness B+B' of various thin films located within the effective display area)-(the total thickness C+C' of various thin films located in a seal portion)+(0.1 to 0.2 .mu.m).
