Another technology that seems to be popularized in this 2021 is that of roller screens. We have seen companies like Oppo or LG show some prototypes and technologies, and now it is TCL who shows its proposal for a rollable AMOLED panel, with a similar technology but applied in a slightly different.

Roll-up panel of TCL varies in size between 6.7 “and 7.8”

If in the Oppo and LG examples we saw that the prototypes of smartphones allowed to extend their screens across the width, that is, extending the narrowest part of the screen, in the case of TCL what they have shown is the opposite, allowing the longest part to be extended and reduced to achieve a more compact smartphone. In this way, you can go from 6.7 inches to 7.8 inches.

It would be, something similar to what Motorola did with your Razr or Samsung Flip Z, but using a motorized roll-up screen system instead of a folding screen.

Among the few specifications that TCL has given of the prototype, we can highlight its thickness of less than 10 mm or the bending radius of 3mm. At the moment there are no more details nor do we know when the first terminals with this AMOLED roll-up screen will arrive on the market.
