Rollable 8K Display RollScreen Launches: 65-Inch Screen Rolls Into a 5cm Diameter Tube

LG Display releases RollScreen, the world's first mass-production rollable 8K OLED display, where a 65-inch screen can fully retract into a 5-centimeter diameter carbon fiber cylinder when not in use.

LG Display launched RollScreen in Seoul on May 3, the world's first mass-production rollable 8K OLED display. This 65-inch screen can fully retract into a 5-centimeter diameter, 70-centimeter long carbon fiber cylinder in its base when not in use, expanding to deliver 7680x4320 resolution, 2,000-nit peak brightness, and 120Hz refresh rate.

RollScreen uses LG Display's proprietary ultra-thin flexible OLED panel measuring just 0.3mm thick. The multi-layer structure including encapsulation layers can withstand over 100,000 curling cycles at a 2.5cm bending radius without visible creasing. LG Display OLED division head Kim Joon-ho said the team spent four years solving flexible TFT backplane stress distribution, ultimately adopting serpentine routing to keep stress differences between layers within material fatigue limits.

RollScreen is priced at $12,000, launching first in South Korea and the US in July. Analysts note the biggest application isn't home televisions — high-end retail displays, yacht interiors, and mobile workspaces are the true target markets.
