Lots of companies are getting in the flexible display R&D, but few have actually shown anything but prototypes. That’s not likely to change at CES this year, but we may see a few new items; Samsung is now showing off a 4.5″ AMOLED display that’s both flexible and transparent. Nice!

It’s different from the other screens they’ve shown off, and of course it’s not e-ink like some of the ones we’ve seen. Whether the flexibility would remain once you’d added a CPU and touch-sensitive panel is of course hard to say, but I’m liking where things are going.
