A coupling frame includes a support body configured to contact at least one of the electrode tab and the electrode lead; a first perforating portion bent from one end of the support body; and a second perforating portion bent from the other end of the support body. The first and second perforating portions are inserted into the electrode tab and the electrode lead to pass through first and second points of a contact surface between the electrode tab and the electrode lead.

There are provided a method of manufacturing a jelly roll-type electrode assembly and a method of manufacturing a secondary battery using the electrode assembly. The method of manufacturing the electrode assembly includes notching a cathode and an anode, elongated in one direction, in a constant size and shape to form a plurality of electrode units, laminating the cathode and the anode with a separator disposed therebetween to form a unit cell, and winding the unit cell by bending the connection units so that the electrode units of the cathode and the anode overlap each other. In the manufacturing of the jelly roll-type electrode assembly and the polymer secondary battery, whose production process can be easily simplified, a jelly roll-type electrode assembly and a polymer secondary battery, both of which exhibit excellent design flexibility, can be manufactured.

There is provided a jelly-roll type electrode assembly. In the jelly-roll type electrode assembly including a cathode including a cathode active material coating layer and an anode including an anode active material coating layer, with a separation film interposed therebetween, and formed to be rolled, the jelly-roll type electrode assembly is characterized in that the anode and the cathode include uncoated portions, the uncoated portions are overlapped and include mirror images formed on a front surface and a rear surface, and the jelly-roll type electrode assembly is flexible in the uncoated portion. A pouch-type secondary battery, a battery pack and a device including the electrode assembly are provided. A flexible jelly-roll type secondary battery may be reversibly flexible while blocking the separation of an electrode active material from a current collector surface.
