Abstract
A retractable display module system for use with a processor-based device, such as a server. The retractable module may comprise an LCD module that is movable between a retracted position within the chassis of the device and an open position. The system utilizes a guide housing disposed within the chassis of the device for receiving and storing the display module in a retracted, space-saving position. A resilient member, such as a spring, may be deployed in the guide housing to bias the display module into the guide housing. For use, the display module is removed from the guide housing and pivoted to the open position at a front of the device.
