Revolutionary Rollable OLED Display

In an exciting announcement, Samsung Display is gearing up to begin mass production of the world’s first rollable OLED laptop screen, with a launch date slated for April 2025. This innovative display technology was first showcased alongside the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus G6, which is expected to hit global markets in June.

Transformative Features

The rollable screen offers a remarkable transformation that expands from a compact 14-inch 5:4 display to a stunning 16.7-inch 8:9 portrait screen, all with the simple push of a button or a hand gesture. This advanced feature increases the screen's usable area by an impressive 50%, and when not in use, the display seamlessly rolls back under the keyboard, ensuring portability and sleek design.

Innovative Technology

What sets this technology apart is Samsung's unpolarized Eco² OLED display, which has been previously utilized in their foldable smartphones. The integration of polarization directly into the OLED elements allows for a significant reduction in panel thickness and a 30% decrease in power consumption, as it eliminates additional layers that would typically block light.

Durability and User Experience

Youngseok Kim, Vice President and Head of Samsung Display IT Sales, commented on the durability of the design: “As the rollable display extends, it may experience stress, but based on our foldable mass-production experience, we have designed to ensure durability in our rollable products. The rollable display will bring innovation to IT devices, especially in terms of laptop mobility and user experience in daily life.”

Collaboration with Lenovo

AG Zheng, Executive Director of Small and Medium Business product and solutions at Lenovo, expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration: “Thanks to Samsung Display’s exclusive OLED technology, we were able to challenge ourselves to mass-produce the world’s first rollable laptop. The ThinkBook Plus G6 Rollable will offer user experiences like never before and set the direction of future IT products.”

The Future of Laptops

This leap into rollable technology is expected to change how we perceive laptops, making them more versatile than ever. With other companies likely to follow suit, the landscape of personal computing devices seems destined for a dramatic transformation. Are we ready for this new era of technology?
