Today, Samsung Display announced a new screen technology called Rollable Flex, which it says could be used for tablets or laptops.

Samsung Display's press release says that a Rollable Flex screen can expand from just 49 mm (1.9 inches) in length to 254.4 mm (10.10 inches). It stated:
While conventional foldable or slidable form factors offer up to three times the scalability, Rollable Flex overcomes such limitations by enabling the display to be rolled and unrolled on an O-shaped axis like a scroll. “The biggest feature is that we were able to turn a difficult-to-carry large-sized display into a portable form factor by making it rollable,” Samsung Display explained.

The company is showing off a demo of Rollable Flex this week at the annual SID Display Week in Los Angeles. The press release didn't state how far along this new display technology was in development, nor when it might be made available for consumer tablets and notebooks.

Samsung Display will also unveil a new Sensor OLED Display that can recognize fingerprints anywhere on the screen and even check cardiovascular health. Typically, fingerprint sensors in smartphones are attached under the panel as a separate module from the panel, but Samsung Display embedded the light-sensing organic photodiode (OPD) into the panel itself.

Sensor OLED Display can measure the user’s heart rate, blood pressure and stress level simply with the touch of two fingers. OLED light is reflected differently depending on the contraction and relaxation of the blood vessels inside the finger, and when it returns to the panel, the OPD recognizes it and converts it into health information. Samsung Display is the first to unveil panel technology that can simultaneously sense fingerprints and biometric information.
