A touch screen configured for optical touch sensing and user identification using organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) is disclosed. In some examples, one or more OLEDs can be used to display one or more images on the device, can be configured to emit light for optical touch sensing, and/or can be configured to detect a reflection of the emitted light. The touch screen can include a spatial filter configured to focus light emitted from the OLEDs and/or reflected light detected by the OLEDs for improved optical touch sensing. Using optical touch sensors, the touch screen can be capable of discerning between water and an object (e.g., finger) and/or noise (e.g., ambient light) and an object. The touch screen can also be capable of identifying (e.g., authenticating) a user using the active area of the device.
