A laptop computer display module (28) for use in a clamshell type laptop computer includes a telescoping rail assembly (100) that enables the display module (28) to be extended upwardly from a keyboard module (24) of the laptop computer when the display module is rotated to an open position. A computer display panel (28) is rotatably mounted to a display support member (120) of the display module adjacent a top margin of the display panel (70) so that the display panel (70) can be manually swung away from the display support member (120) and toward a user of the laptop computer (20). The invention enables the display panel (70) to be positioned at a comfortable viewing angle without blocking access to the keyboard module (24) for typing and is particularly useful in depth-constrained workspaces such as airplane passenger seats, where the display support member (120) must be positioned at an acute angle relative to the keyboard module (24).
