Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	According to a first aspect, the invention relates to a thermoelectric module (10) that comprises a thermoelectric layer (15) comprising one p-type (7p) and one n-type (7n) portions presenting together an upper and a lower main surfaces (11,12). The thermoelectric module (10) further comprises a first and a second thermal resistor elements (1r, 2r), and a first thermal bridge element (3c), between and adjacent to the first and second thermal resistor elements (1r, 2r). The first and second thermal resistor elements (1r, 2r) and the first thermal bridge element (3c) cover the whole lower main surface (12). The p-type (7p) and the n-type (7n) portions are adjacent and directly coupled by an interface (7i). The first thermal bridge element (3c) spans at least over the orthogonal projection of the interface (7i) on the lower main surface (12).
