Ultrawide and curved displays have dominated the monitor market, and a patent from Lenovo suggests that they may soon be implemented in notebooks.
Lenovo Patent Reveals Ultrawide 'Rollable' And Curved Displays For Next-Gen Notebooks
To date, the notebook market has adhered to the conventional method of incorporating a flat panel design that mirrors the chassis dimensions. Nevertheless, this may alter in the future, according to a patent discovery by Pigtou from Lenovo.
Curved and ultrawide gaming monitors are readily available on desktop computers. However, the display industry is revolutionizing by introducing new bendable and rollable smartphone panels first.
The notion of an ultrawide monitor is not novel; Razer attempted and tested it with Project Valerie, which featured two additional displays and provided a pleasant ultrawide viewing experience but ultimately failed to materialize. Additionally, it is worth noting that Lenovo is in the process of developing an innovative PC laptop design featuring a transparent panel enhanced with OLED technology.
Lenovo's Ultrawide Rollable Display Expands User View
Regarding the Lenovo patent, it appears that the Ultrawide rollable display will enable users to customize the visual experience according to their individual preferences, as per WCCFTech.
The laptop display will comprise movable and fixed sections, with the movable section consisting of two panels on the screen's sides that utilize foldable technology and the fixed section being the screen in the middle that corresponds to the chassis dimensions. These two sections will provide a more expansive viewing experience on laptops than is currently feasible.
The foldable display appears to be extended or contracted by means of a mechanism located beneath the movable section, as detailed in the complete patent application accessible here. The patent describes the entire locking and extension mechanism in detail, and it appears that identical technology will be employed to manufacture the initial curved display for notebooks.
As a patent still protects this technology, it will be some time before we see it in action; however, Lenovo is expected to provide a sneak peek at the MWC 2024.
