A thin-type battery includes: a flat shaped electrode body formed by stacking a positive electrode and a negative electrode while interposing a separator in between; an electrolyte; and an exterior body made from a laminate film, the exterior body enclosing the electrode body and the electrolyte with ends of the exterior body being hermetically sealed by heat-sealing, wherein the exterior body includes a folded part to be folded from one surface side to another surface side of the electrode body and to extend along an edge of the electrode body, and the folded part includes resin-interposed heat-sealing portions located in regions in two ends in a direction along the edge of the electrode body and outside the electrode body, where portions of the exterior body are opposed to each other, each resin-interposed heat-sealing portion being heat-sealed by interposing a piece made from a resin.

A secondary battery with an exterior body having a novel scaling structure, and a structure of a sealing portion that relaxes a stress of deformation are provided. The secondary battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, an electrolyte solution, and an exterior body enclosing at least part of the positive electrode, at least part of the negative electrode, and the electrolyte solution. The exterior body includes a first region having a shape with a curve, a shape with a wavy line, a shape with an arc, or a shape with a plurality of inflection points, and a second region having the same shape as the first region. The first region is in contact with the second region. Alternatively, the first region has a shape without a straight line. The secondary battery may be flexible, and the exterior body in a region having flexibility may include the first region.

Disclosed are an outer case for a secondary battery, and a secondary battery including the same, the outer case comprising: a first polymer resin layer; a second polymer resin layer positioned on a first surface of the first polymer resin layer, and having a first adhesive layer interposed therebetween so as to be attached thereto; and an inner resin layer positioned on a second surface of the first polymer resin layer, and having a second adhesive layer interposed therebetween so as to be attached thereto, wherein the first polymer resin layer and the second polymer resin layer respectively comprise a fluorine-containing resin.

An electronic device includes a base substrate with a mica substrate thereon. A top face of the mica substrate has a surface area smaller than a surface area of a top face of the base substrate. An active battery layer is on the mica substrate and has a top face with a surface area smaller than a surface area of a top face of the mica substrate. An adhesive layer is over the active battery layer, mica substrate, and base substrate. An aluminum film layer is over the adhesive layer, and an insulating polyethylene terephthalate (PET) layer is over the aluminum film layer. A battery pad is on the mica substrate adjacent the active battery layer, and a conductive via extends to the battery pad. A conductive pad is connected to the conductive via. The adhesive, aluminum film, and PET have a hole defined therein exposing the conductive pad.

To ensure the welding strength (the T-peel strength) of a welding portion. An exterior body 3 of the present invention houses a content. The exterior body 3 has a welding portion 55 extending in a first direction X. At the welding portion 55, portions of a planar body or planar bodies (e.g., portions of a laminated film 3f or laminated films 3f) are welded so as to overlap with each other in a second direction Y perpendicular to the first direction X, the planar body or the planar bodies being the material of the exterior body 3. In a sectional view as viewed in a third direction Z perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y, the welding portion 55 has, at an end portion on a content side, curved portions 58 recessed in a curved shape toward the side opposite to the content side.
