Abstract

To provide a secondary battery that is suitable to a portable information terminal or a wearable device. To provide an electronic device having a novel structure that can have various forms and a secondary battery that fits the forms of the electronic device. The secondary battery includes a film provided with depressions or projections that can ease stress on the film due to application of external force. The sizes of the depressions or projections are different between a center portion and an end portion of the film. The end portion of the film is sealed with an adhesive layer. The depressions or projections of the film are formed by pressing such as embossing.

Claims (58)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a housing comprising a curved surface;

a secondary battery comprising a curved surface, the secondary battery being along the curved surface of the housing; and

an exterior body of the secondary battery, which is a film comprising a pattern including first depressions extending along a first direction and second depressions extending along a second direction intersecting the first direction in both a first region and a second region,

wherein the first region is a center portion of the film,

wherein the second region is an end portion of the film,

wherein the first direction and the second direction are not parallel to an edge in a width direction of the film,

wherein a depth of the first depressions in the first region is larger than a depth of the first depressions in the second region,
