Abstract
One example provides a display device comprising a display panel, a touch sensor, an ambient light sensor, a processor, and storage. The storage comprises instructions executable by the processor to monitor an ambient light signal received from the ambient light sensor, detect, in combination with a call event, a threshold change in the ambient light signal that is indicative of the display device being proximate to a body of a user, and based at least on detecting the threshold change in the ambient light signal, modify an operation of the display device.
