HEAT GENERATING BODY UNIT AND HEATING APPARATUS

摘要

An objective of the present invention is to provide a heat generating unit that has a small size with high efficiency and high directivity, and carries out a uniform heating process with a fast temperature rise, and a heating apparatus using such a heat generating unit. The heat generating element (2) in the heat generating unit is formed into a film-sheet shape by using a material mainly composed of a carbon-based substance, and has an equivalent thermal conductivity in a plane direction, and power supply parts (10A, 10B) supply power to two opposing ends of the heat generating element (2) so that the entire heat generating element (2) in the heat generating unit generates heat with high efficiency.
