The one big thing holding back OLED is the batteries. What’s the point in having a flexible screen if the battery isn’t?

I wish battery tech would advance quicker. I like that they are getting wireless power it would be cool if we got to the point where your car could beam power to all the devices and the power supply/converter on the device was nanotech so it was very small and you didn’t even notice it. Combine that with oled and now you have something.

Heh, I’ve been playing with some new flexible LiIon polymer batteries - it’s amazing how small a bend radius you can get on these things - we’re talking a battery barely more than 1.5mm thick, and can handle a 1mm bend radius.

Scary!

We need wireless battery so they can be stored in a pocket to power the flexible screen. :)
