Digital Home Thoughts: Thin and Flexible Batteries Closer to Reality

"NEC first announced its super-thin Organic Radical Battery (or ORB) technology a full five years ago, but it's now finally back with what it describes as the first "practical" prototypes of the batteries. While these new batteries are about twice as thick as NEC's first such units, they're still only 0.7 mm thin, and are apparently much more reliable while also delivering 1.4 times more output (specifically, a capacity of 5mAh)."

This isn't a technology you are going to see in your next laptop. Instead the focus is on thin and flexible, so think things like flexible epaper displays, etc. Still since they are only calling this the first practical prototype, I wouldn't hold my breath either.
