LAS VEGAS — By showing off a phone with a flexible screen, Samsung is hinting at a day when we might fold up our large phone or tablet screens as if they were maps. The Korean electronics company provided a glimpse of such a device at a keynote speech Wednesday at the International CES gadget show in Las Vegas Brian Berkeley, head of Samsung Electronics Co.'s display lab in San Jose, California, demonstrated a phone that consists of a matchbox-sized hard enclosure, with a paper-thin, flexible color screen attached to one end. The screen doesn't appear flexible enough to fold in half like a piece of paper, but it could bend into a tube. The company also showed a video of a future concept, with a phone-sized device that opens up like a book, revealing a tablet-sized screen inside. — AP
