Korean scientists have succeeded in making a super thin and flexible batteries. These batteries are expected to one day be used to gadgets with a large screen so that it can be folded into a pocket.
Limitations of portable electronic devices may be located on a large screen size. The presence of cell phones, tablet and e-book reader has limited how to save them, whether it's in your purse or pocket. Well, with this technology might be different story.
The scientists say that this time they managed to create a flexible display - the E Ink screen (on ereaders) and OLEDs (on some phones). However, there are some parts difficult to adapt, especially batteries, which tend to be one of the largest part of the portable device. To that end, fold the battery will be a big step so that the gadget can be folded.
Professor Keon Jae Lee from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and his team just make it happen. As reported PhysOrg, Lee was able to create a lithium-ion thin as a razor, and most importantly is able to maintain battery voltage even when it is bent. You can see in his videos via YouTube through this link. In the video looks a battery with blue LED, which blinks when the battery is never played over and over. Then, the battery is tested using a voltmeter with a bent, and the result is the voltage was not changed at all.
Lee is still seeking mass production and the possibility of stacking the battery in order to produce greater power output. Matter of practicality and durability of flexible gadget, it is also still questionable, but it would be nice if that was the main technical problem to be solved.
Are you interested in having a tablet or a phone that can be folded? What type of flexible gadgets you want to see? Please share your ideas in the comments.
