1. An electronic device, comprising:
a display device comprising a plurality of light-emitting elements configured to display an optical image on a front side of the display device;
an illumination element integrated into the display device and configured to emit light for illuminating a scene in front of the front side of the display device;
an optical sensor configured to sense reflections of the emitted light from the scene;
an optical transmitter configured to transmit an optical control signal encoded with control information for controlling light emission by the illumination element;
an optical receiver integrated into the display device, wherein the optical receiver is configured to receive the optical control signal and generate an electrical control signal based on the optical control signal; and
a driver circuit integrated into the display device and configured to drive the illumination element based on the electrical control signal.
