store the information in the memory in response to the size of the screen being reduced while the information is selected,
wherein the screen comprises a first region for displaying first information and a second region for displaying second information, and
wherein the controller is further configured to store the first information and the second information as one item in response to a touch input being dragged from the second information to the first information while the screen is reduced.
2. The flexible display device according to claim 1 , wherein the screen comprises a first region for displaying first information and a second region for displaying second information, and
wherein the controller is further configured to store the second information in the memory in response to the second region being reduced while the second information displayed on the second region is selected.
3. The flexible display device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to store the first information and the second information as a captured image in the memory.
4. The flexible display device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to individually control the first region and the second region.
5. The flexible display device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
in response to a request, distinguishably display a recent access list including accessed information stored in response to the screen being reduced from other accessed information.
6. The flexible display device according to claim 5 , wherein the controller is further configured to display an indicator on the access information indicating the accessed information was stored in response to the screen being reduced.
7. The flexible display device according to claim 5 , wherein the controller is further configured to display multiple stored accessed information as being grouped together.
8. The flexible display device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
display a home screen on the display,
display an icon for displaying the stored information, and
display the stored information in response to selection of the icon.
9. The flexible display device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to display a thumbnail image corresponding to the stored information in response to the screen being extended from a non-extended state.
10. The flexible display device according to claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to display the stored information in response to the thumbnail image being selected.
11. The flexible display device according to claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to redisplay the home screen in response to the screen being additionally extended while the thumbnail image is not selected.

14. A method of controlling a flexible display device including an extendable and reducible screen, the method comprising:
detecting, via a sensor of the flexible display device, a size of the screen;
displaying, via a controller of the flexible display device, information on the extended screen; and
storing, in a memory, the information in response to the size of the screen being reduced while the information is selected,
wherein the screen comprises a first region for displaying first information and a second region for displaying second information, and
wherein the method further comprises storing the first information and the second information as one item in response to a touch input being dragged from the second information to the first information while the screen is reduced.
15. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the screen comprises a first region for displaying first information and a second region for displaying second information, and
wherein the method further comprises storing the second information in the memory in response to the second region being reduced while the second information displayed on the second region is selected.
16. The method according to claim 14 , further comprising:
storing the first information and the second information as a captured image in the memory.
17. The method according to claim 14 , further comprising:
individually controlling, via the controller, the first region and the second region.
