2. Description of the Related Art

A typical planar heating element, which generates heat by electricity, has been widely used in residential heating systems of apartments or conventional houses requiring heating because the planar heating element does not cause air pollution or generate noise, and temperature may be easily controlled. Furthermore, the planar heating element has been more widely used in recent times since a heating value of the planar heating element is high, and rapid heating control is possible compared to existing linear heating elements. The planar heating element is used, for example, in heating systems of commercial buildings such as offices or stores, industrial heating systems of workshops, warehouses, or camps, various industrial heating systems, agricultural facilities such as greenhouses or agricultural product drying systems, and various freeze protection devices capable of melting snow on roads or parking lots or preventing freezing, and may be further used for leisure, cold protection, household appliances, defogging devices for mirrors or glass, healthcare products, and livestock raising. Recently, manufacturing of a single-wall/multi-wall carbon nanotube (“CNT”) or a heating element using heating characteristics of conductive oxide has been conducted in research institutes and industries.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a planar heating device 100 according to an exemplary embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of the planar heating device 100 according to an exemplary embodiment.


Referring to FIG. 1, an exemplary embodiment of the planar heating device 100 may include a substrate 10, a first electrode 20, a second electrode 30, a heating layer 40, a first additional heating layer 50a, and a second additional heating layer 50b.


The substrate 10 may be a plastic substrate or a glass substrate.


The first and second electrodes 20 and 30 may be disposed on opposing end portions of the substrate 10. The first and second electrodes 20 and 30 may directly contact the substrate 10, or may be spaced apart from the substrate 10 with an additional layer (not shown) interposed therebetween. In one embodiment, for example, the additional layer may be the heating layer 40.


The first and second electrodes 20 and 30 may include a material having high electrical conductivity. The first and second electrodes 20 and 30 may include, but are not limited to, at least one of silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), indium tin oxide (“ITO”), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), and platinum (Pt).


The heating layer 40 may be on the substrate 10 and may contact the first and second electrodes 20 and 30. The heating layer 40 may include a carbon nanotube (“CNT”). The CNT may be at least one of single-wall CNT, double-wall CNT, multi-wall CNT and twisted CNT, or a combination thereof. In one embodiment, for example, multi-wall CNT may be used to reduce manufacturing cost. In an embodiment, the heating layer 40 may include a conductive oxide film. The conductive oxide film may include, for example, at least one of RuO2, MnO2, VO2, TaO2, IrO2, NbO2, WO2, GaO2, MoO2, InO2, CrO2, and RhO2, or any combination thereof, but is not limited thereto.


The first additional heating layer 50a may be disposed on one end portion of the heating layer 40, and the second additional heating layer 50b may be disposed on an opposing end portion of the heating layer 40. In such an embodiment, the first additional heating layer 50a may contact the first electrode 20, and the second additional heating layer 50b may contact the second electrode 30.


The first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b may include a same metal as a metal included in the heating layer 40. In one embodiment, for example, the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b may include CNT. The CNT may be at least one of single-wall CNT, double-wall CNT, multi-wall CNT and twisted CNT, or a combination thereof. In one embodiment, for example, multi-wall CNT may be used to reduce manufacturing cost. In an embodiment, the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b may include a conductive oxide film. The conductive oxide film may include, for example, at least one of RuO2, MnO2, VO2, TaO2, IrO2, NbO2, WO2, GaO2, MoO2, InO2, CrO2, and RhO2, or any combination thereof, but is not limited thereto.


A thickness H1 of the heating layer 40 may be in a range of about 10 μm to about 100 μm, and a thickness H2 of each of the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b may be in a range of about 10 μm to about 100 μm. In an embodiment, the thickness H2 of each of the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b may be equal to or greater than the thickness H1 of the heating layer 40. In one embodiment, for example, the thickness H2 of each of the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b may be equal to or twice the thickness H1 of the heating layer 40.


Resistance of each of a region where the first additional heating layer 50a is disposed on the heating layer 40 and a region where the second additional heating layer 50b is disposed on the heating layer 40 may be lower than resistance of a region where the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b are not disposed on the heating layer 40.


In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the first electrode 20, the region of the heating layer 40 on which the first additional heating layer 50a is disposed, the region of the heating layer 40 on which the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b are not disposed, the region of the heating layer 40 on which the second additional heating layer 50b is disposed, and the second electrode 30 may be connected to each other in series. In such an embodiment, when a voltage is applied to the first and second electrodes 20 and 30, the voltage may be applied to the region of the heating layer 40 on which the first additional heating layer 50a is disposed, the region of the heating layer 40 on which the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b are not disposed, and the region of the heating layer 40 on which the second additional heating layer 50b is disposed. Since a resistance value of each of the regions of the heating layer 40 on which the first additional heating layer 50a and the second additional heating layer 50b are disposed, respectively, is lower than a resistance of the region of the heating layer 40 on which the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b are not disposed, a voltage, which is lower than that applied to the region of the heating layer 40 on which the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b are not disposed, may be applied to each of the regions of the heating layer 40 on which the first additional heating layer 50a and the second additional heating layer 50b are disposed, respectively. Therefore, power consumption of each of the region of the heating layer 40 on which the first additional heating layer 50a and the second additional heating layer 50b are disposed, respectively, may be less than that of the region of the heating layer 40 on which the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b are not disposed, and thus, less heat may be generated from such regions. Therefore, the regions of the heating layer 40 on which the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b are disposed may function as an electrode protective layer for effectively preventing thermal damage of the first and second electrodes 20 and 30.


Referring to FIG. 2, a width W of each of the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b may have a length predetermined to effectively prevent thermal damage of the first and second electrodes 20 and 30. In one embodiment, for example, the width W of each of the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b may be in a range of about 10 millimeters (mm) to about 20 mm.



FIG. 3A is a graph illustrating a temperature distribution of a planar heating device 200 according to a position of the planar heating device 200 when an additional heating layer is not disposed on a heating layer 240, and FIG. 3B is a graph illustrating a temperature distribution of the planar heating device 100 according to a position of the planar heating device 100 when the additional heating layers 50a and 50b are disposed on the heating layer 40 according to an exemplary embodiment.


Referring to FIG. 3A, a first electrode 220, the heating layer 240, and a second electrode 230 are connected to each other in series in the planar heating device 200. A voltage may be applied to the heating layer 240 when a voltage is applied to the first and second electrodes 220 and 230. The heating layer 240 may have a uniform distribution of materials and a uniform thickness, and thus, an identical voltage may be applied to the entire region of the heating layer 240. A temperature may increase from a contour to a center portion of the heating layer 240 due to a reinforcing effect of heat generated from the heating layer 240, and a temperature may decrease from the center portion to the contour of the heating layer 240.


In general, contact resistance may be generated in a contact portion contacting the first and second electrodes 220 and 230, and the heating layer 240. Furthermore, the contact resistance may increase due to heat generated from a contour portion of the heating layer 240, that is, a peripheral region of the contact portion. The contact portion may be partially heated due to the increase in the contact resistance, and a temperature of the contact portion may further increase due to a secondary formation of an oxide film. As a result, an operation failure of the heating layer 240 and thermal damage of the first and second electrodes 220 and 230 may occur.


Referring to FIG. 3B, in an embodiment of the planar heating device 100, the first electrode 20, the region of the heating layer 40 on which the first additional heating layer 50a is disposed, the region of the heating layer 40 on which the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b are not disposed, the region of the heating layer 40 on which the second additional heating layer 50b is disposed, and the second electrode 30 are connected to each other in series. When a voltage is applied to the first and second electrodes 20 and 30, a voltage may be applied to the region where the first additional heating layer 50a is disposed on the heating layer 40, the region of the heating layer 40 on which the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b are not disposed, and the region of the heating layer 40 on which the second additional heating layer 50b is disposed. Since a resistance value of each of the regions of the heating layer 40 on which the first additional heating layer 50a and the second additional heating layer 50b are disposed, respectively, is lower than that of the region of the heating layer 40 on which the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b are not disposed, a voltage, which is lower than that applied to the region of the heating layer 40 on which the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b are not disposed, may be applied to each of the regions of the heating layer 40 on which the first additional heating layer 50a and the second additional heating layer 50b are disposed, respectively. Therefore, power consumption of each of the regions of the heating layer 40 on which the first additional heating layer 50a and the second additional heating layer 50b are disposed, respectively, may be less than that of the region of the heating layer 40 on which the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b are not disposed, and thus, less heat may be generated from such regions. Accordingly, a temperature around the first and second electrodes 20 and 30 of FIG. 3B may be lower than that around the first and second electrodes 220 and 230 of FIG. 3A.


In such an embodiment, an increase in contact resistance of a contact portion, which contacts the first and second electrodes 20 and 30, the heating layer 40, and the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b, due to heat generated from the contact portion may be less than an increase in contact resistance of a contact portion, which contacts the first and second electrodes 20 and 30, and the heating layer 40 without the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b. Therefore, the regions of the heating layer 40 on which the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b are disposed may function as an electrode protective layer for effectively preventing thermal damage of the first and second electrodes 20 and 30.



FIGS. 4A to 4D are cross-sectional views illustrating a method of manufacturing a planar heating device according to an exemplary embodiment.


Referring to FIGS. 4A and 4B, a substrate 10 including a plastic substrate or a glass substrate is prepared, and the first and second electrodes 20 and 30 are provided on opposing end portions of the substrate 10. The first and second electrodes 20 and 30 may directly contact the substrate 10, or may be spaced apart from the substrate 10 and with an additional layer (not shown) interposed therebetween.


The first and second electrodes 20 and 30 may include a material having high electrical conductivity. The first and second electrodes 20 and 30 may include, but are not limited to, at least one of Ag, Al, ITO, Cu, Mo, and Pt.


Referring to FIG. 4C, the heating layer 40 is provided on the substrate 10 to contact the first and second electrodes 20 and 30. A thickness of the heating layer 40 may be in a range of about 10 micrometers (μm) to about 100 μm.


The heating layer 40 may include CNT. The CNT may be at least one of single-wall CNT, double-wall CNT, multi-wall CNT, and twisted CNT, or a combination thereof. In one embodiment, for example, multi-wall CNT may be used to reduce manufacturing cost. In an embodiment, the heating layer 40 may include a conductive oxide film. The conductive oxide film may include, for example, at least one of RuO2, MnO2, VO2, TaO2, IrO2, NbO2, WO2, GaO2, MoO2, InO2, CrO2, and RhO2, or any combination thereof, but is not limited thereto.


Referring to FIG. 4D, the first additional heating layer 50a is disposed on an end portion of the heating layer 40, and the second additional heating layer 50b is disposed on an opposing end portion of the heating layer 40. The first additional heating layer 50a may contact the first electrode 20, and the second additional heating layer 50b may contact the second electrode 30. The first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b may include a same metal as that of the heating layer 40.


The thickness H2 of each of the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b may be in a range of about 10 μm to about 100 μm. In an embodiment, the thickness H2 of each of the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b may be equal to or greater than the thickness H1 of the heating layer 40. In one embodiment, for example, the thickness H2 of each of the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b may be equal to or twice the thickness H1 of the heating layer 40.


A width of each of the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b may have a length predetermined to effectively prevent thermal damage of the first and second electrodes 20 and 30. In one embodiment, for example, the width of each of the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b may be in a range of about 10 mm to about 20 mm.


Resistance of each of a region of the heating layer 40 on which the first additional heating layer 50a is disposed and a region the heating layer 40 on which the second additional heating layer 50b is disposed may be lower than resistance of a region the heating layer 40 on which the first and second additional heating layers 50a and 50b are not disposed.


According to embodiments of a planar heating device and a method of manufacturing the planar heating device, resistance of a heating layer adjacent to an electrode may be lowered by increasing a thickness of the heating layer adjacent to the electrode. As a result, a temperature of the heating layer adjacent to the electrode may be reduced and thermal damage of the electrode may be effectively prevented.


In such embodiments, a center portion of the heating layer may generate more heat by applying a higher voltage to the center portion of the heating layer.
