Abstract

The disclosure provides apparatuses for videoconferencing and a method of operation thereof. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes: (1) a flat panel display including a substrate and a first two-dimensional array of electronic light sources fabricated along the substrate such that a second two-dimensional array of substantially transparent regions of the substrate are laterally interspersed among the electronic light sources, the display being able to transmit externally received light through the substantially transparent regions and (2) a camera configured to receive light external to the display through the substantially transparent regions of the second two-dimensional array.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
