<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermoelectric conversion sheet which has a heat insulating function while eliminating the need for providing a separate power source. <P>SOLUTION: A thermoelectric conversion device has a thermoelectric conversion section and a power source. The thermoelectric conversion device includes the thermoelectric conversion section and a solar cell section for supplying electricity to the thermoelectric conversion section. In the device, the thermoelectric conversion section can be operated without the need for providing a separate power source. When the thermoelectric conversion device is made in the form of a flexible sheet, the device can be used regardless of location or object shape and can be used for various sorts of objects to be cooled or heated. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
