The ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 has a "rollable" screen that expands the display by almost 50%, and there's a good idea here behind the party trick.

For years now, the company has indulged in public experimentation, launching laptops with foldable displays, dual screens, and secondary e-ink surfaces. This time around, Lenovo brought out the industry’s first laptop with a rollable display, which expands from a normal-looking 14 inches to an extra-tall 16.7 inches with the push of a button.

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.
