THERMOELECTRIC CONVERSION DEVICE

To easily perform folding and improves adhesion to the other party.SOLUTION: A thermoelectric conversion device includes a deformable base material, a plurality of thermoelectric conversion elements, a group of electrodes that electrically connect the plurality of thermoelectric conversion elements to each other. Each of the plurality of thermoelectric conversion elements is arranged so as to form a plurality of rows including an adjacent first row and a second row. The group of electrodes has a first electrode and a second electrode that is thinner than the first electrode. The first electrode electrically connects two of the plurality of thermoelectric conversion elements in the first row and is not arranged on the base material. The second electrode electrically connects one of the plurality of thermoelectric conversion elements in the first row and one of the plurality of thermoelectric conversion elements in the second row, and is arranged on the base material.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】折り曲げを容易にして相手物への密着性を向上する。【解決手段】熱電変換装置は、変形可能な基材と、複数の熱電変換素子と、複数の熱電変換素子のそれぞれを互いに電気的に接続する一群の電極と、を備える。複数の熱電変換素子のそれぞれは、隣り合う第１の列と第２の列を含む複数の列を形成して配置される。一群の電極は、第１電極と、第１電極より厚さが薄い第２電極とを有する。第１電極は、第１の列内の複数の熱電変換素子のうちの２つを互いに電気的に接続するとともに基材上に配置されない。第２電極は、第１の列内の複数の熱電変換素子のうちの１つと第２の列内の複数の熱電変換素子のうちの１つとの間を互いに電気的に接続するとともに基材上に配置される。【選択図】図５
