Abstract
Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device, such as a notebook computer, laptop, or tablet that includes a circuit board coupled to a plurality of electronic components (which may include any type of components, elements, circuitry, etc.). One particular example implementation of an electronic device may include a display portion partitioned into a plurality of display regions, and a plurality of sensors. Each of the plurality of sensors is associated with a particular display region of the plurality of display regions and is configured to determine whether a portion of an electronic device cover is within proximity to the sensor. The electronic device further includes logic to determine a display state of the particular display region associated with the sensor based upon whether the portion of the electronic device cover is determined to be within proximity of the sensor.
