1. An apparatus for driving and guiding movement of a display assembly, the apparatus comprising:
a first track extending along, and disposed adjacent to, a first side of the display assembly and defining a path along which the display assembly is driven;
a first pair of pins each extending from the first side of the display assembly into the first track; and
at least one constant force spring having at one end a coiled part that is rotatably couple to the display assembly, an opposing end fastened to a fixed mounting location, and an uncoiled part extending between the coiled part and the opposing end;
the at least one constant force spring being configured to drive the display assembly from a lowered position to a raised position while the first pair of pins travels along the first track which guides movement of the display assembly,
wherein
the first track includes
a straight part that guides the movement of the first pair of pins along a straight line while the at least one constant force spring drives the display assembly from the lowered position, and
a curved end part that guides further movement of the first pair of pins while the at least one constant force spring subsequently drives the display assembly to the raised position and into a tilted orientation.
