What is Lenovo's rollable display about?

The rollable display is a new and distinctively unique feature that allows the laptop to extend its display upwards with just a gesture or the press of a button. Motors built into its hinge help accomplish this, The Verge reported.

This allows the initially unassuming 14-inch laptop with a resolution of 2000 x 1600 to convert its screen into 16.7 inches, with an extended resolution of 2000 x 2350, all in about 10 seconds.

A quirky result of this is that the motors are noisy enough to draw attention in a quiet environment, according to the report.

Retracting the screen pulls the bottom portion into the laptop's chassis and below the keyboard deck. It then displays black pixels to save power.

The screen is tested and rated for at least 30,000 closings and openings of its lid hinge and 20,000 rolls both up and down, the report said.
