Abstract
A device includes an electronic display formed with a stackup of layers and an array of optical sensing elements embedded on at least one layer of the stackup or on a chassis of the electronic display and a circuit connected to the optical sensing elements. The circuit is configured to relate output from the optical sensing elements to pressure applied on the electronic display.
