Abstract

A wireless power transmission device includes a mounting member, first and second terminals mounted on the mounting member and a transmission coil connected to the first and second terminals. The transmission coil includes an outer transmission coil and an inner transmission coil extending from the outer transmission coil and having a radius less than that of the outer transmission coil, and a distance between the outer transmission coil and the inner transmission coil is in a range from 20 mm to 30 mm.

Claims
