Lenovo announced a laptop today that experiments with a new way to offer laptop users more screen space than the typical clamshell design. The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable has a screen that can roll up vertically to expand from 14 inches diagonally to 16.7 inches, presenting an alternative to prior foldable-screen and dual-screen laptops.

Samsung Display (SDC) recently held a media event at CES 2025 in the US, announcing that it will supply rollable displays for Lenovo's ThinkBook Plus G6 Rollable, incorporating color filter on encapsulation technology.

Lenovo presented a concept notebook with a screen that you could expand out sideways. Now, the company is heading in completely the opposite direction - upwards.A prototype of the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable on display at the CES tech fair in Las Vegas (running until 10 January) can extend its display frame upwards at the touch of a button or by hand.
