Meet the first laptop that uses Samsung's rollable OLED screen

Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 uses Samsung's 18.1-inch Slidable Flex Solo rollable OLED panel

Samsung Display said that the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus G6 laptop, showcased at CES 2025, uses its Slidable Flex Solo rollable OLED panel with a brightness of up to 400 nits. When rolled in, the laptop has a 14-inch screen (2,000 x 1,600 pixels) with a 5:4 aspect ratio, but when rolled out, it extends into a 16.7-inch screen (2,000 x 2,350 pixels) with an 8:9 aspect ratio.

The laptop has a 14-inch screen in regular mode, but when you need a bigger screen, the OLED panel can be rolled out to have a 50% viewable area. In its expanded form, you can arrange two regular-sized app windows (16:9 aspect ratio) vertically.

The panel also features the unpolarized Eco² OLED technology, a first in the laptop display industry. It has been used in Galaxy Z series foldable phones since the Galaxy Z Fold 3. It integrates the polarizer into the panel using on-film encapsulation, resulting in 30% improved power efficiency.
