NEC Corp. announced the development of an ultra-thin, 0.3mm thick, organic radical battery (ORB) that is compatible within standard IC cards of 0.76mm thickness.
The adoption of these ultra-thin ORBs featuring greater flexibility, higher power output and faster recharging speeds than existing rechargeable batteries, including lithium-ion batteries, is expected to enable advanced new functions in IC cards, electronic paper and other technologies.
