A display device including a surface for viewing an image comprising a stack of layers configured to display the image. A processor is configured to include switchable detection modes. Each mode is preconfigured to detect an object on or near the surface based on a given sensitivity to light, and has a different sensitivity than other of the modes.

1. A device, comprising: a stack of layers having a surface and being configured to display an image,multiple light sensitive elements, the multiple light sensitive elements including: a first region comprising a first density of the light sensitive elements, anda second region comprising a second density of the light sensitive elements, the first density being greater than the second density, anda processor configured to selectively operate in any one of multiple detection modes in which the processor detects an object on or near the surface in response to light based on a preconfigured sensitivity to light associated with the light sensitive elements,wherein the preconfigured sensitivity to light according to which the processor detects an object when operating in one of the detection modes differs from the preconfigured sensitivity to light according to which the processor detects an object when operating in other of the detection modes,the multiple light sensitive elements being configured to generate data indicative of a fingerprint when a finger is on or near the surface of the stack of layers, andthe processor being configured to identify the fingerprint based on the data from the multiple light sensitive elements. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the first region comprises multiple sub-pixels and wherein at least one of the light sensitive elements is associated with each of the multiple sub-pixels. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein the stack of layers comprises multiple sub-pixels and wherein at least one of the light sensitive elements is associated with each of the multiple sub-pixels. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein the multiple light sensitive elements are configured to sense both an absence of light and an addition of light at a location of an object on or near the surface. 5. The device of claim 1, wherein the multiple light sensitive elements comprise: a first set of light sensitive elements configured to sense an absence of light at a location of an object on or near the surface, anda second set of light sensitive elements configured to sense an addition of light at a location of an object on or near the surface. 6. The device of claim 1, wherein the each mode is associated with a distinct set of the multiple light sensitive elements configured for a particular lighting condition. 7. The device of claim 1, wherein the first region is configured to sense light in a first lighting condition and the second region is configured to sense light in a second lighting condition different than the first lighting condition. 8. The device of claim 1, wherein the selection of which one of the multiple detection modes the processor is to operate in when detecting an object is based on a current lighting condition. 9. The device of claim 1, wherein the selection of which one of the multiple detection modes the processor is to operate in when detecting an object is made automatically. 10. The device of claim 1, further comprising: a switch on the device configured to select which one of the multiple detection modes the processor is to operate in when detecting an object. 11. The device of claim 1, wherein the device is configured to receive a communication from an optical pointing device and to automatically select which one of the multiple detection modes the processor is to operate in when detecting an object based on the communication. 12. The device of claim 1, wherein the selection of which one of the multiple detection modes the processor is to operate in when detecting an object is based on a current lighting condition sensed by a light sensor distinct from the multiple light sensitive elements. 13. The device of claim 5, wherein the selection of which one of the multiple detection modes the processor is to operate in when detecting an object is based on a current lighting condition sensed by a light sensor distinct from the first and the second sets of light sensitive elements. 14. The device of claim 5, further comprising: a color filter layer located between the surface and at least a portion of the first and the second sets of light sensitive elements. 15. A method, comprising: switching, via a device comprising a stack of layers, multiple light sensitive elements that includes a first region comprising a first density of the light sensitive elements and a second region comprising a second density of the light sensitive elements, the first density being greater than the second density, between any one of multiple detection modes in which the device detects an object on or near the surface in response to light based on a preconfigured sensitivity to light associated with the light sensitive elements, the preconfigured sensitivity to light according to which the device detects an object when operating in one of the detection modes differing from the preconfigured sensitivity to light according to which the processor detects an object when operating in other of the detection modes,generating, via the multiple light sensitive elements, data indicative of a fingerprint when a finger is on or near the surface of the stack of layers, andidentifying the fingerprint based on data generated via the multiple light sensitive elements. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the device switches between the detection modes automatically. 17. The method of claim 15, wherein the device switches between the detection modes in response to a state of a switch on the device. 18. The method of claim 15, wherein the device automatically switches between the detection modes in response to an optical pointing device communicating with the device. 19. The method of claim 15, wherein the device switches between the detection modes based on a current lighting condition sensed by the light sensitive elements.
