1. A system comprising:
a display layer comprising:
a plurality of pixel elements; and
portions between the pixel elements that are at least partially transparent;
an image sensor positioned under the display layer;
a mask disposed between the image sensor and the display layer, wherein the mask comprises a configurable pattern for allowing light that is directed through a subset of the portions between the pixel elements to be directed to the image sensor; and
control circuitry configured to change the pattern of the mask for allowing light by selectively turning on and off transparency of the mask.
