Patent ID: 7867650

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a laminate type battery comprising: a substrate; a power generating element which is disposed on the substrate and has at least one single cell made of a positive electrode layer, an electrolyte layer, a negative electrode layer, a first collecting layer and a second collecting layer, the positive electrode layer, the electrolyte layer and the negative electrode layer being sandwiched by the first and second collecting layers from both sides thereof; and an electric circuit member which is disposed on the substrate and has electrode terminals connected to an external device and circuits connecting collecting layers provided in the power generating element and the electrode terminals, the method comprising: preparing a positive electrode fluid for forming the positive electrode layer, a negative electrode fluid for forming the negative electrode layer, an electrolyte fluid for forming the electrolyte layer, a conductive fluid for forming the collecting layers and the electric circuit member; applying the conductive fluid to the substrate to form a first layer which includes the first collecting layer and first circuit parts; after forming the first layer, applying the negative electrode fluid and the conductive fluid on the first layer to form a second layer which includes the negative electrode layer and second circuit parts; after forming the second layer, applying the electrolyte fluid and the conductive fluid on the second layer to form a third layer which includes the electrolyte layer and third circuit parts; after forming the third layer, applying the positive electrode fluid and the conductive fluid on the third layer to form a fourth layer which includes the positive electrode layer and fourth circuit parts; and after forming the fourth layer, applying the conductive fluid on the fourth layer to form a fifth layer which includes the second collecting layer and fifth circuit parts, wherein the circuits are formed by stacking the first to fifth circuit parts so as to electrically connect each other.
