In a liquid crystal device, spherical-shaped semiconductor devices are mounted in a dispersive fashion on a wiring pattern extending toward a liquid crystal sealing region from input terminals connected to a flexible board. A circuit structure is disposed on the substrate. The apparatus may further comprise a no-power save mode setting time range setting unit, which sets the predetermined time range so that the power save mode can be prevented from being set in the electronic appliance. When the composition includes a propellant gas a wax with a larger surface area is produced, which is likewise easily worked into the hair and very effectively fixes or sets the hair. The process for the preparation of 2-phenyl-1,3-propanediol involves reducing diethyl phenylmalonate with sodium borohydride in the presence of an alkali metal dihydrogen phosphate buffer or the hydrate thereof.
