A display device including a surface for viewing an image comprising a stack of layers configured to display the image and a first and second set of light sensitive elements included in the stack. The first set of light sensitive elements is configured to provide a first data set corresponding to an object on or near the surface based on a first sensitivity to light. The second set of light sensitive elements is configured to provide a second data set corresponding to the object on or near the surface based on a second sensitivity to light. One of the first and the second data sets is selected and a location of the object on or near the surface is determined based on the selected data set.
