Already existing are flexible displays, printed circuits, memory and even chargers. Now, there is a new high-performance flexible battery that can be bent and twisted. This therefore means that possibility of foldable mobile phone might come sooner than we expected.
These batteries promise thinner and lighter 'foldable' electronics including smartphones, tablets and e-book readers that could be flexible and hold more capacity.

A post on efytimes.com stated that a team of researchers at the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) is behind the new flexible solid-state battery. This rechargeable lithium-ion battery (LIB) retains its energy level even when folded, spindled, or mildly mutilated. It is actually printed on a thin film. Applying battery material to rollable displays has been a major cause for concern for the gadget manufacturers thus far. But it seems like this breakthrough is likely to change the way we think about surfaces and screens.
