Abstract
Disclosed herein are an apparatus and a method for controlling a screen display in an electronic device. A signal from a light-receiving pixel on a display unit is detected. The display unit comprises light emitting pixels and light receiving pixels arranged in a pattern. The light emitting pixels are adjusted based at least partially on a brightness of light indicated by the signal from the light receiving pixels.

A method for controlling a screen display in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- detecting a signal from a light-receiving pixel on a display unit, the display unit comprising light-emitting pixels and light receiving pixels arranged in a predetermined pattern;
- and
- adjusting a display intensity of the light-emitting pixels based at least partially on a brightness of light indicated by the signal from the light receiving pixel and a predetermined threshold of brightness.
A method for controlling a screen display in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- detecting a signal from light-receiving pixels of a display unit, the display unit having light-emitting pixels and light receiving pixels arranged in a predetermined pattern across a surface area of the display unit;
- and
- switching off light-emitting pixels arranged in a partial area of the display unit, when light is not detected in the partial area of the display unit by the light receiving pixels arranged in the partial area.
An apparatus for controlling a screen display in an electronic device, the apparatus comprising:
- a display unit comprising light-emitting pixels and light-receiving pixels disposed thereon in a predetermined pattern;
- and
- at least one processor to:
- detect a signal from a light-receiving pixel;
- and
- adjust a display intensity of the light-emitting pixels based at least partially on a brightness of light indicated by the signal from the light receiving pixel and a predetermined threshold of brightness.
