Abstract
The present invention is a device including a flexible battery and the method of producing the device. The device is produced by a method similar to gravure printing. Various layers such as battery layers, solar cell layers, active display layers, conductive layers, electronic layers, and semiconductor layers may be combined using adhesion, or similar processes. The devices of the invention may be printed on various polymers or other suitable materials providing low-cost, high-yield production capabilities. The device may then be formed into a variety of useful items, such as signs, packaging, casing, or other desirable forms.
