I want a rollable phone, not a TV

"If you don't need the display you just roll it down."

How about you turn it off instead ? I can see rollable screens being a big hit for mobile users but more of a niche product for the home. Maybe you'd want them in the kitchen, but most living rooms are planned around a fixed TV anyway. But having a larger screen I can carry around so I can, say, open it up on a plane and then fold back into my hand luggage, that I can see having mass appeal.
