  energy density with independent technology

SEOUL, South Korea–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Samsung
SDI (CEO Nam Seong Cho) (KRX:006400) unveiled Samsung’s Stripe and

including wearables.

The Stripe battery contains multiple element technologies that were
independently developed by Samsung SDI. Cutting-edge materials were used
