Thin Film Battery Applications Driving Technology Progress

(Nashua, NH) - The need for miniaturized power sources to power a growing number of personal, commercial and military electronic devices is driving innovation and investment in small battery technology. Because of their small footprint and potential for integration into OEM devices, thin film batteries are being developed by a number of companies pursuing a range of applications in several market segments.

Near-term application segments for thin film batteries include a number of segments with diverging requirements, ranging from low-cost consumer electronics and industrial uses to high-reliability medical devices. These diverse and often conflicting engineering targets are forcing sector participants to focus their initial attention on applied development programs that target one or a handful of applications.

Medical devices represent a significant opportunity for thin film batteries. Advances in biomechanics, biocompatible materials and device engineering are converging to create a growing number of implantable device applications for which sustainable power technology is on the critical path.

While the applications and opportunities are numerous, several challenges remain before thin film battery technology can reach full market potential. Unit cost and power density must improve. OEM application engineering support to optimize design-for-manufacturing and power management are critical factors in penetrating electronics and medical sectors. Future developments will be evolutionary, as developers and designers work to solve remaining issues.

These and other findings of a recent survey are the subject of a comprehensive report. Thin Film Batteries: Applications and Opportunities analyzes thin film battery products, markets and technology, and the companies driving this evolving sector.
