Abstract

An example electronic display system including a housing with a recess, a top side, and a bottom side opposite the top side and a kickstand having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the first end being rotatably coupled to the housing proximate the bottom side, and the second end being rotationally biased away from the housing. A variable friction assembly is coupled to the first end. The kickstand has a first position in which the second end is received within the recess, and a second position in which the second end is substantially rotatably separated from the recess. Further, the variable friction assembly applies a first friction load to the first end when the kickstand is the first position, and a second friction load when the kickstand is in the second position, wherein the first friction load is greater than the second friction load.
