Claim 23:
24. A computing device comprising:
a display comprising a plurality of pixels;
one or more sensors positioned underneath the display and configured to emit electromagnetic radiation through the display during operation; and
one or more processors configured to:
program the pixels of the plurality of pixels during non-emission periods of frames of a plurality of frames based on image data of the frames;
cause pixels of the plurality of pixels to emit light during emission periods of the frames, wherein an amount of light emitted by the pixels during an emission period of a particular frame is based on the programming for the particular frame; and

synchronize operation of the one or more sensors and operation of the plurality of pixels by at least causing the one or more sensors to alternatingly emit the electromagnetic radiation during emission periods and non-emission periods, wherein, to cause the one or more sensors to alternatingly emit the electromagnetic radiation during emission periods and non-emission periods, the one or more processors are configured to:
cause the one or more sensors to emit the electromagnetic radiation during an emission period of an Nth frame of the plurality of frames; and
cause the one or more sensors to emit the electromagnetic radiation during a non-emission period of an N+1st frame of the plurality of frames.
