Abstract

The present invention relates to a rechargeable battery with a label film, a method for manufacturing a rechargeable battery, and a method for manufacturing a label film for a rechargeable battery. Regarding a rechargeable battery with a label film attached to a case, the label film includes a film base, an antenna pattern formed on a first side of the film base, and an information layer formed on a second side of the film base and on which a character including information on the rechargeable battery is written.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A rechargeable battery with a label film attached to a case, wherein
the label film includes a film base, an antenna pattern formed on a first side of the film base, and an information layer formed on a second side of the film base and on which a character including information on the rechargeable battery is written; wherein
the antenna pattern includes an antenna portion rotated and extended toward an internal side from an external side, an external terminal connected to an external end of the antenna portion, and an internal terminal connected to an internal end of the antenna portion.

2. The rechargeable battery of claim 1 , wherein
the second side is attached to the case and contacts the case.

3. The rechargeable battery of claim 1 , wherein
the antenna pattern is made of a conductive ink formed by printing.

4. The rechargeable battery of claim 1 , wherein
an insulating layer is formed between the internal terminal and the antenna portion.

5. The rechargeable battery of claim 1 , wherein
a shield film made of ferrite is attached to the antenna pattern, and the internal terminal and the external terminal are exposed outside the shield film.

6. The rechargeable battery of claim 1 , wherein
an access terminal connected to the antenna pattern is formed on an external side of the case.

7. The rechargeable battery of claim 1 , wherein
the internal terminal and the external terminal are connected to the access terminal with a conductive adhesive as a medium.

8. The rechargeable battery of claim 1 , wherein
the antenna pattern is used as a near field communication (NFC) antenna.

9. A method for manufacturing a rechargeable battery with a label film, comprising:
printing an antenna pattern on a first side of a film base by using a conductive ink to perform a first printing;
printing an insulating layer on the antenna pattern to perform a second printing;
printing an internal terminal connected to an internal end portion of the antenna pattern and formed to pass over the insulating layer to perform a third printing;
attaching a shield film for covering the antenna pattern; and
attaching the label film to a case to attach the case.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein
the first printing includes printing an antenna portion wound toward an internal side from an external side and an external terminal connected to an external end of the antenna portion.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein
the attaching of a case includes electrically connecting the external terminal and the internal terminal to an access terminal formed on an external side of the case.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein
the first printing, the second printing, and the third printing are performed according to a rotary printing scheme.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising
printing an information layer on which a character including information on a rechargeable battery is written on a second side of the film base to print information.

14. A method for manufacturing a label film attached to a case of a rechargeable battery comprising:
printing an antenna pattern on a first side of a film base by using a conductive ink to perform a first printing;
printing an insulating layer on the antenna pattern to perform a second printing;
printing an internal terminal connected to an internal end portion of the antenna pattern and formed to pass over the insulating layer to perform a third printing; and
attaching a shield film for covering the antenna pattern.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising
printing an information layer on which a character including information on a rechargeable battery is written on a second side of the film base.
