System and Method for Coordinating Image Capture in a Camera Hidden Behind a Display Device
First Claim
1. An information handling system comprising:
- a thin panel display device;
a camera oriented behind an outer display field layer of the thin panel display device having a camera zone, wherein the aperture of the camera receives light passing through the outer display field layer camera zone;
a processor determining a camera usage parameter of a software application operating on the information handling system; and
the processor coordinating camera operation and thin panel display device operation through the outer display field layer in accordance with at least one camera usage parameter wherein the processor modifies a display refresh rate at the outer display field layer camera zone.

Abstract
An information handling system includes a thin panel display device with a camera oriented behind an outer liquid crystal (LCD) layer of the thin panel display device. The outer LCD layer of the thin panel display device having a camera zone through which the aperture of the camera receives light and a processor or set of processors determines camera usage a software application operating on the information handling system and coordinating camera operation and thin panel display device operation through the outer LCD layer in accordance with the camera usage by modifying a display refresh rate at the outer LCD layer camera zone.
