Abstract: There are provided a pair of side sills provided at both outward sides, in a vehicle width direction, of a vehicle body and extending in a vehicle longitudinal direction, first and second battery units provided below a floor panel on respective inward sides, in the vehicle width direction, of and adjacently to the side sills, the first and second battery units being spaced apart from each other in the vehicle width direction, and a connecting member interconnecting the first and second battery units. The connecting member comprises a vehicle-width-direction connection portion to interconnect the first and second battery units so as to transmit a load, in the vehicle width direction, therebetween and plural deformation promotion portions provided adjacently to the vehicle-width-direction connection portion so as to cause deformation at the vehicle-width-direction connection portion when receiving the load caused by a vehicle side collision.

Abstract: A drive control method for a display panel configured to constantly provide a good display quality with ensuring that EMI countermeasures are properly carried out is accomplished. Image data used to display a plurality of drive regions of a display panel obtained by dividing the display panel is supplied to data drivers of the plurality of drive regions based on transmission clock signals respectively having different transmission clock frequencies suitable for the plurality of divided drive regions, a common drive-start control signal used for all of the plurality of drive regions is generated based on a reference clock signal having a clock frequency different from any of the transmission clock frequencies, and drive signals start to be output from the data drivers of the plurality of drive regions to display elements corresponding to the respective data drivers at a same timing based on the supplied drive-start control signal.
