Abstract
An optical sensing module is adapted to be assembled to a frame of a display device. The display device comprises a display module and the frame, and the display module has a display area and the frame surrounds the display area. The optical sensing module comprises a casing and an optical sensor. The casing is pivoted to the frame and the optical sensor is configured in the casing for sensing external light projecting on a side of the casing. The optical sensor is capable of sensing a brightness of the display area when the side of the casing faces the display area and sensing a brightness of an ambient light when the side of the casing doesn't face the display area.
