Abstract
A thermoelectric element sheet includes at least two layered structures having a plurality of thermoelectric elements which are arranged between insulating films. In each layered structure the thermoelectric semiconductors are arranged in pairs and electrodes connect the thermoelectric semiconductors of each pair to provide a plurality of structural units. Further electrodes connect the structural units. The thermoelectric element sheet can be used in thermoelectric energy conversion systems which depend on the Seebeck, Peltier or Thomson effect to convert thermal energy to electrical energy or vice versa.
