Samsung Display starts volume production of rollable OLED for laptops

Samsung Display announced that it has started volume production of the world’s first rollable OLED screen for laptops starting in April 2025. Samsung Display announced its rollable screen for the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus G6 Rollable laptop at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S., Lenovo also showcased the laptop and announced its plans to globally launch in June. The ThinkBook Plus G6 Rollable laptop features a screen underneath the keypad, where the screen expands vertically by almost 50%, offering a unique mobile computing experience. When rolled in, the screen supports a 5:4 aspect ratio on a 14-inch display. When rolled out, the aspect ratio shifts to 8:9 on a 16.7-inch display, providing an enhanced view for efficient multitasking. In addition to its rollable technology, Samsung Display has incorporated unpolarized Eco² OLED™ — originally developed for premium smartphone panels — for the first time in laptops. The technology reduces panel thickness and provides a 30% decrease in power consumption. Eco² OLED™ is the industry’s first OLED panel to integrate the polarizer function into the panels using an on-cell film. “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,” said Youngseok Kim, Vice President and Head of Samsung Display IT Sales. “...
