Abstract
Techniques and apparatuses are disclosed to adjust an intensity of light emitted from front lights and/or to adjust a visual representation of content displayed by an electronic device based at least in part on a measurement of light intensity by a light sensor. An electronic display may present a visual representation of objects including text and images, which may be subject to changes in size and contrast due to the measured levels of ambient light. A display controller may also control activation and/or intensity of lights used to illuminate the electronic display based on the measurement of light intensity by the light sensor in addition to or separate from the adjustments to contrast and size of the content.
