Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device may include: a display panel comprising a pixel flexible substrate, a driving circuit, a display medium formed from an organic light-emitting material, and a plurality of shielding units; and a plurality of micro photoelectric units adjacent to a protection layer and away from the display panel. The plurality of micro-photoelectric units may comprise respective micro-photoelectric elements, and at least one of the micro-photoelectric elements may be, or may include, a sensor element. The protection layer may serve to protect the plurality of micro-photoelectric units while being located at one side of the plurality of micro-photoelectric units. Each of the plurality of micro photoelectric units may be configured to emit light toward an object, and to receive the light reflected, scattered, refracted, or diffracted by, or penetrating through, the object, or receive a signal generated from the light after being reflected, scattered, refracted, or diffracted by, or penetrating through, the object.
