Abstract

Provided is a secondary battery suitable for a portable information terminal or a wearable device, or an electronic device having a novel structure with a variety of forms and a secondary battery that fits the form of the electronic device. The secondary battery is sealed using a film having projections that can reduce stress on the film caused when external force is applied. The film has a pattern of projections formed by pressing (e.g., embossing). A top portion of each of the projections has a region thicker than a bottom portion of each of the projections. The thickness of the top portion of each of the projections is 1.5 or more times, preferably 2 or more times, as large as that of the bottom portion of each of the projections, and is a thickness such that each of the projections has a convex space.

Claims (61)

1. A secondary battery comprising:

a film comprising a first region and a second region,

wherein the first region overlaps a positive electrode current collector,

wherein the second region is a thermocompression-bonded region,

wherein the first region comprises first projections on a first surface with depressed portions on a second surface,

wherein the second region comprises second projections on the first surface, and

wherein heights of the second projections are smaller than heights of the first projections.

2. The secondary battery according to claim 1 ,

wherein a film thickness of a top portion of each of the first projections is 1.5 or more times as large as a film thickness of a bottom portion of each of the first projections.

3. The secondary battery according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first projections are arranged regularly.

4. The secondary battery according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first projections are arranged randomly.

5. The secondary battery according to claim 1 ,

wherein the film comprises a metal film and an insulating film, and

wherein the metal film is in contact with the insulating film.

6. The secondary battery according to claim 1 ,

wherein the positive electrode current collector is surrounded by the film.

7. An electronic device comprising:

the secondary battery according to claim 1 ; and

a display device, a microphone, a speaker, an operation button, a housing, or a sensor.

8. A vehicle comprising:

the secondary battery according to claim 1 ; and

a display device of a speedometer.

9. A secondary battery comprising:

a film comprising a first region and a second region,

wherein the first region overlaps a positive electrode current collector,

wherein the second region is a thermocompression-bonded region,

wherein the first region comprises first projections on a first surface with first depressed portions on a second surface, and second projections on the second surface with second depressed portions on the first surface,

wherein the second region comprises third projections on the first surface, and

wherein heights of the third projections are smaller than heights of the first projections.

10. The secondary battery according to claim 9 ,

wherein a film thickness of a first top portion of each of the first projections is 1.5 or more times as large as a film thickness of a first bottom portion of each of the first projections, and

wherein a film thickness of a second top portion of each of the first projections is 1.5 or more times as large as a film thickness of a second bottom portion of each of the first projections.

11. The secondary battery according to claim 9 ,

wherein the first projections and the second projections are arranged regularly.

12. The secondary battery according to claim 9 ,

wherein the first projections and the second projections are arranged randomly.

13. The secondary battery according to claim 9 ,

wherein the film thickness of a first top portion of each of the first projections is different from the film thickness of a second top portion of each of the first projections.

14. The secondary battery according to claim 9 ,

wherein the film thickness of a first top portion of each of the first projections is the same as the film thickness of a second top portion of each of the first projections.

15. The secondary battery according to claim 9 ,

wherein the first projections are arranged in a first direction,

wherein the second projections are arranged in a second direction, and

wherein the first direction and the second direction intersect each other.

16. The secondary battery according to claim 9 ,

wherein the first projections are arranged in a first direction,

wherein the second projections are arranged in a second direction, and

wherein the first direction and the second direction are parallel to each other.

17. The secondary battery according to claim 9 ,

wherein the film comprises a metal film and an insulating film, and

wherein the metal film is in contact with the insulating film.

18. The secondary battery according to claim 9 ,

wherein the positive electrode current collector is surrounded by the film.

19. An electronic device comprising:

the secondary battery according to claim 9 ; and

a display device, a microphone, a speaker, an operation button, a housing, or a sensor.

20. A vehicle comprising:

the secondary battery according to claim 9 ; and

a display device of a speedometer.
