DISPLAY COMPATIBLE AMBIENT LIGHT SENSOR

Abstract

A user equipment comprising a display device, a light sensor, and a timing controller configured to provide one or more timing signals to (1) enable the light sensor to sense ambient light during a first portion of a repeated timing pattern and (2) enable one or more light emitters to emit display light during a second portion of the repeated timing pattern, wherein the first portion does not substantially overlap with the second portion, wherein the timing controller is configured to adjust a duty cycle for sensing ambient light within the repeated timing pattern and a duty cycle for emitting display light within the repeated timing pattern, in response to an ambient light intensity measurement based on one or more readings of the light sensor.
