PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermoelectric module that can be connected to a curved surface of a larger curvature. SOLUTION: This thermoelectric module 6 is composed of a pair of substrates 7, a plurality of thermoelectric elements 2 disposed between the substrates 7, and electrodes 3 which are provided on the substrates 7 at intervals and connect the thermoelectric elements 2 to each other. Since loosened portions 8 are provided at least on the portions of the substrates 7 where the electrodes 3 are not provided, the substrates 7 extend and become connectable to a curved surface having a larger curvature. Since contracting stresses are small, the peeling of the thermoelectric elements 2 and electrodes 3 can be prevented. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
