Researchers at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and
Technology in Korea have developed an imprintable and bendable
lithium-ion battery that they claim is the world's first, and
could hasten the introduction of flexible smartphones that
leverage flexible display technology, such as Samsung's Youm
flexible OLED. Samsung first demonstrated this display
technology at CES 2013 as the next step in the evolution of
mobile-device displays. The battery could also potentially be
used in other flexible devices that debuted at the show, such as
a wristwatch and a tablet. Researchers at the Ulsan National
Institute of Science and Technology in Korea have developed,
what they claim to be, the world's first imprintable and
bendable lithium-ion battery. The move should hasten the
adoption of mobile devices with flexible displays, such as
Samsung’s Youm flexible OLED, and potentially other flexible
devices that are beginning to emerge. Ulsan researchers had help
on the technology from Professor John A. Rogers of the Un
