Abstract
A display has a capture mode. A camera is included in the display. A first region of the display including a field of view (FOV) of the camera may be dimmed during the capture mode. A second region of the display is outside the FOV. At least part of the second region is not dimmed during the capture mode.
Claims12
A device, comprising:
- a display to have a capture mode;
- and
- camera included in the display, wherein
- a first region of the display including a field of view (FOV) of the camera is dimmed during the capture mode;
- and
- a second region of the display is outside the FOV, at least part of the second region is not dimmed during the capture mode;
- and wherein the display alternates between a display setting and a camera setting during the capture mode, the first and second regions are not dimmed during the display setting, and the first region is dimmed during the camera setting.

A method, comprising:
- dimming a light intensity to be lower than a normal intensity at a first region of a display including a camera, during a camera setting, of the display, the first region to include a field of view (FOV) of the camera;
- increasing the light intensity at the first region to be greater than the normal intensity during a display setting of the display;
- and
- maintaining the normal intensity at part of a second region of the display surrounding the first region, during the camera setting, wherein the camera is to capture images during the camera setting and to not capture images during the display setting, wherein the second region is to have a non-uniform light intensity including a range of light intensities from the lower than normal intensity to at least the normal intensity during the camera setting, and wherein the display is to alternate between the camera and display settings according to a time-division sequence.
1 more element
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, if executed by a processor of a device cause the processor to:
- alternate between display and camera settings of a display;
- output light at a lower intensity at a first region of the display during the camera setting and output light at a greater intensity at the first region during the display setting, the first region to include a field of view (FOV) of a camera included in the display;
- output light at both the lower and greater than the lower intensities at a second region surrounding the first region, during the camera setting;
- and
- output light at greater than the lower intensity at a third region surrounding the second region, during both the display and camera settings.
