A laminate type battery includes a power generating element and an outer casing body. The power generating element is formed by electrically laminating in series a plurality of single battery layers in which a single battery layer is formed by sequentially laminating a positive electrode current collector, a positive electrode active material layer, an electrolyte layer, a negative electrode active material layer, and a negative electrode current collector. The power generating element is disposed inside the outer casing body. At least one of the positive electrode current collector or the negative electrode current collector includes a resin layer having conductivity. The single battery layer including the resin layer is electrically connected to an adjacent single battery layer via at least one resistance reduction layer.

Laminate type battery and method for producing the same

An object of the present invention is to provide a dispersant for a resin current collector which can uniformly disperse a conductive filler to attain sufficient charge and discharge characteristics without impairing the output power per unit weight of a battery. The present invention provides a dispersant for a resin current collector comprising a polymer having a resin-philic block (A1) and a conductive filler-philic block (A2).

An electrode for improving the durability of a battery includes a current collector and an active material layer. The current collector has a conductive resin layer including a polymer material and a conductive filler. The electrode further includes a conductive member, which is in electrical contact with the conductive filler, between the current collector and the active material layer.

Electrode

The present invention provides a means for improving the output performance of a battery. An electrical connection structure of the present invention includes a current collector which includes a conductive resin layer containing a polymer material and a conductive filler and a conductive member which is in electrical contact with the conductive filler.

Electrical connection structure

To provide a means for improving durability of a positive electrode for a lithium battery (in particular, a resin current collector for forming the positive electrode). The means is achieved by a positive electrode for a lithium battery having a resin current collector containing a polyolefin-based resin matrix and a conductive filler, and a positive electrode active material layer provided on the resin current collector, characterized in that an electron conductive layer is disposed on the surface of the resin current collector that is in contact with the positive electrode active material layer.

An electrical connection structure includes a circuit board provided at an edge thereof with a plurality of external connection terminals, a flexible flat cable provided at an edge thereof with a plurality of connection terminals in corresponding relationship to the external connection terminals of the circuit board, and a corresponding number of clips. Each of the clips has a first clamping portion open in a first direction for inserting the circuit board, and a second clamping portion open in a second direction opposite to the first direction for inserting the flexible flat cable.

Board-cable connection structure

A recess portion is provided in a portion in the upper surface 1a of the stay member correspondingly to one longitudinal side edge of the insulating substrate so that a portion of the one longitudinal side edge faces the recess portion 6, so that the insulating substrate can crack by a heat accumulation effect in this portion facing the recess portion.

Line-type heater

A printing head comprises an elongate head substrate provided with a line of printing dots along a first longitudinal edge of the substrate, and an array of drive IC's provided on the head substrate along a second longitudinal edge of the substrate. The substrate is further provided with a plurality of connection terminals adjacent to the second longitudinal edge. The drive IC array is rendered shorter than the printing dot line to provide two excess portions at both ends of the head substrate, and the connection terminals are locally arranged within the respective excess end portions without overlapping the drive IC array longitudinally of the head substrate.
