Electrode assembly and rechargeable battery including the same

A method of manufacturing a winding-type electrode assembly, the method comprising:

• disposing a separator between a first electrode and a second electrode, wherein the first electrode comprises:
• a first substrate,
• a first active material layer including a first front surface active material layer and a first rear surface active material layer respectively formed on a front surface and a rear surface of the first substrate, and
• a functional layer formed on the rear surface of the first substrate,
• covering an end portion of the rear surface first active material layer and one end portion of the functional layer with a first finishing tape,
• covering an end portion of the first front surface active material layer with a second finishing tape, and
• covering an end portion of the second finishing tape with a third finishing tape, wherein another end portion of the functional layer overlaps the third finishing tape.
