Abstract
A localized heating device includes a laminate structure of a heat insulating substrate, a heating region made by sandwiching a heating layer between a pattern electrode layer and a conductive layer and a low surface energy layer. In another aspect of the invention, a localized heating apparatus includes a localized heating device and a power supply system that supplies a current selectively and stably to the heating layer between the pattern electrode layer and the conductive layer from the current supply portion formed at one or both end portions of the heating region.
