# Rollable Smartwatch Screens Samsung Has Publicly Signed a Patent on a New 'Rollable' Smartwatch By Colin Smith | Published 2021-12-13 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollable-smartwatch References: [nl.letsgodigital.org](https://nl.letsgodigital.org/wearables-smartwatches/samsung-rollable-watch/) & [samsung](https://www.samsung.com/?a)  A new [Samsung](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollable-flex) patent for a [rollable smartwatch design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-watch) was discovered by researchers at 'Lets Go Digital.' This patent has sketches that show a watch with not only a [size-scalable wristband](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartlet) but a 'rollable' screen display as well. The screen on this watch blueprint has two positions. The first is a traditional circle-shaped position, and the second is a more elongated oval position. To transfer the watch from one position to the next, there is a lock on the side of the watch that, when pressed, allows parts of the screen to be 'rolled' out, creating a longer screen. Currently, it is not known how the display will seamlessly transfer from one size to the next without having a small barrier or visible line going across the screen where the crease was folded.
