1. An electronic device comprising:
- a panel having a display screen linearly movable along a first axis and pivotable about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, wherein the display screen is on a first face of the panel and wherein the device further comprises a signal light on a second face of the panel; and
a housing receiving the panel, wherein the panel is linearly movable between a retracted position within the housing and an extended position out of the housing; and
a controller configured to generate control signals in response to a servicing need such that the signal light changes state to indicate the servicing need while the panel is in the retracted position and such that additional information regarding the servicing need is presented on the display screen when the panel is in the extended position.

18. A system comprising:
-
a plurality of electronic devices supported in a stacked relationship along a first axis, each of the devices including a panel having a display screen on a first face, wherein the panel is linearly movable along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis between a retracted position and an extended position and pivotable about a third axis perpendicular to the first axis and the second axis; a signal light on a second face of the panel; and a controller configured to generate control signals in response to a servicing need such that the signal light changes state to indicate the servicing need while the panel is in the retracted position and such that additional information regarding the servicing need is presented on the display screen when the panel is in the extended position. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A method comprising:
-
providing a panel having a display screen on a first face of the panel and an indicator on a second face of the panel; providing a servicing alert on the indicator; linearly moving a the panel along a first axis in response to the alert; pivoting the panel and the display screen about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis after the linearly moving of the panel; and displaying servicing information on the display screen. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. An electronic device comprising:
-
a panel having a display screen linearly movable along a first axis and pivotable about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis; a housing forming a cavity along the first axis receiving the panel, wherein the display screen is on a first face of the panel; a signal light on a second face of the panel, wherein the second face of the panel faces outward from the cavity when the panel is received within the cavity; and a controller configured to generate control signals initiating the display of new information on the display screen and causing the signal light to changes state while the panel is received within the cavity to indicate that the new information is available on the display screen and such that the new information on the display screen may be viewed by withdrawing the panel from the cavity. - View Dependent Claims (38)
