Abstract
A display device and a method for operating a display device disclosed herein include transmitting a proximity signal from a proximity sensor, the proximity sensor being positioned under a lower surface of a surface layer with an illumination component being positioned between the surface layer and the proximity sensor, in response to the illumination component being deactivated, receiving a reflected proximity signal based on the proximity signal, determining a proximity value based on the reflected proximity signal and modifying an operation of the display device based on the proximity value. The modifying the operation of the display device includes any one or a combination of activating the illumination component, deactivating the illumination component, or modifying a property of the illumination component.
