Abstract
Devices with displays and related methods involving light sensing with photovoltaic arrays are provided. In this regard, a representative device includes: a display; a processing device operative to drive the display; and a photovoltaic array positioned in an overlying relationship with at least a portion of the display, the photovoltaic array being operative to sense light incident thereupon such that the processing device selectively alters light emitted by the display responsive to the incident light sensed by the photovoltaic array.
