LG Chem has curved batteries in production, ready for 'phones, watches and glasses'
Similar to LG's run up to the Optimus G last year, it's again demonstrating how each of its various units participate in building the next LG smartphone. Now that LG Display has confirmed production of "bendable and unbreakable" smartphone displays, it's LG Chem's turn to show off what it's doing. The company announced today that it has curved batteries in mass production, which will power the next generation smart phone from LG Electronics. Using its patented "Stack and Folding technology" the company can build batteries it says will fit phones, as well as watches or glasses. Other designs it's cooked up include the Stepped Battery it uses to fill extra space in the new G2 with more battery, providing 16 percent more capacity. Finally, its Cable Battery (pictured above) will be ready in "upcoming years," with a design perfect for wearables or watches that can even be tied in a knot, and won't heat up during use.
