Abstract
A display assembly for an appliance includes an outer frame mounted to or positioned within a cabinet of an appliance and a screen assembly slidably mounted to the outer frame. A drive mechanism, such as an electric drive motor rotating a threaded rod, is operably coupled to the screen assembly for moving the screen assembly between an extended position where it is visible and accessible for user interaction and a retracted position where it is concealed from view.
