In one aspect, the electrode assembly includes first and second electrodes which are wound with a separator placed therebetween. The first electrode includes a first coated portion, and a plurality of first electrode tabs T1-Tn not coated with an active material and protruding outwardly from the first coated portion, wherein n is greater than 2. The first electrode, when spread in a plane form, includes first to nth portions on which the first electrode tabs T1-Tn are respectively formed, wherein the first and nth portions respectively define the innermost and outermost portions thereof. The distance between the first electrode tab Tn placed at the outermost portion and the first electrode Tn−1 placed at the second outermost portion is greater than any of the distances between two adjacent ones of the other first electrode tabs T1-Tn−1.
