In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the ambient light sensor 50 may be disposed just facing the display region 21 in the display screen 20. That is, an orthographic projection on the display screen 20 of the ambient light sensor 50 is located in the display region 21 of the display screen 20. It should be understood that, at this time, the ambient light sensor 50 collects external environment light through the display region 21 of the display screen 20 to detect ambient light intensity. That is, the external environment light enters the ambient light sensor 50 through the display region 21 of the display screen 20.
In some embodiments, the ambient light sensor 50 may be disposed facing an edge of the display region 21 of the display screen 20. For example, the ambient light sensor 50 may be disposed facing an upper edge, a lower edge, a left edge, a right edge, or the like of the display region 21.
In some embodiments, the display region 21 of the display screen 20 may be a rectangular region. The ambient light sensor 50 may be disposed facing a top left corner, a lower left corner, a top right corner, a lower right corner, or the like of the display region 21.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for detecting ambient light intensity. The method for detecting ambient light intensity may be applicable in an electronic device. The electronic device may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, or the like. The electronic device may be the electronic device 100 in any one of above mentioned embodiments.
