7. A high-density carbon nanotube aggregate, comprising:
-
a plurality of carbon nanotubes oriented in a predetermined direction, the plurality of carbon nanotubes being arranged in a sheet form continuously with each other in a direction orthogonal to the predetermined direction without being continuous with each other in the predetermined direction, wherein an average bulk density of the plurality of carbon nanotubes arranged in the sheet form is from greater than 50 mg/cm3 to 200 mg/cm3, in the plurality of carbon nanotubes arranged in the sheet form, a proportion of bulk density of each portion to the average bulk density is from 80% to 120%, and a shape of the high-density carbon nanotube aggregate is maintained such that the plurality of carbon nanotubes are in contact with each other.
