  • Patent number: 7579109
    Abstract: A sheet-shaped energy device includes at least sheet-shaped battery cells, in each of which a positive collector, a negative collector, a positive active material, and an electrolyte are laminated, and a plurality of substrates in a thickness direction. An internal wiring pattern and/or an optical function part are formed on at least one substrate excluding a substrate constituting an outermost layer of the energy device among the plurality of substrates. Because of this, a constraint on the arrangement of various kinds of components used simultaneously with the sheet-shaped energy device and lengthy wiring can be reduced in electronic equipment.

  • Publication number: 20050141170
    Abstract: A thin film layered product is composed of at least two deposition units, each of which includes at least a first thin film layer and a second thin film layer. At least one of the first thin film layer and the second thin film layer in each of the at least two deposition units is laminated so as to have an area decreased in a direction from a lower layer toward an upper layer. Thus, the reliability of connection between layers can be improved, and when a protective layer is formed on side faces, the formability and adhesion strength can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20050087141
    Abstract: An electron beam evaporation source (42) that contains a first thin film material, an electron beam source (44) that emits an electron beam (45) to be used to evaporate the first thin film material by heating, and a resistance heating evaporation source (48) for evaporating a second thin film material by heating using a resistance heating method are arranged so that the electron beam (45) passes through a vapor stream of the second thin film material. Thus, evaporated atoms of the second thin film material can be ionized. As a result, a thin film having improved properties and increased mechanical strength can be formed. Further, since it is no longer necessary to use another device for ionizing the evaporated atoms of the second thin film material, the complication of a configuration and a cost increase can be prevented.
