Flexible Flexible Batteries First launched in Japan

At the Ceatec technology fair in Japan, Panasonic made headlines when it launched its first lithium ion battery, which opened up prospects for mass-produced mobile devices that could bend in the future. .

Designed to be used in ultra-thin and worn-out devices such as smart cards, watches, health bracelets or smart clothes, Panasonic's flexible battery is only 0.55mm thick. "bending" up to a maximum of 25 degrees. The manufacturer claims that the special battery can maintain the characteristics even after being folded several times.

Many people are thinking of equipping these batteries for new generation smartphones. However, due to the small size, this type of battery is not suitable for smartphones that require a lot of energy in the market.

Panasonic's new flexible battery pack.

According to experts, this is an interesting invention, but Panasonic is not the first company to develop such a product.

"Other manufacturers, such as LG and Samsung, are also investing more in flexo technology, such as batteries, monitors, and more , " said Ben Wood, an analyst at CCS Research. I think that Panasonic's new technology is just a tiny piece in the chain of complex eyes and it will take some time before we can see the real flexible bending devices. "

Mr. Wood added that manufacturers still face some challenges in realizing the idea of smartphone flexibilty. In addition to flexing the battery, they need to create other high-resilient parts and components for the machine, especially the screen.

Samsung is believed to be developing a flexible phone. New Patent Mobile patents discovered that Korean companies are cherishing a curved smartphone.
