Abstract

A thermoelectric device includes a thermoelectric element module (2) arranged such that the vertically upper side is the cooling side and the vertically lower side is the heating side. On the cooling side of the thermoelectric element module (2), a DC-DC converter (4), a cooler (3), and a heat-transfer grease layer (8) are arranged in this order from the vertically upper side.
