Apple's new patent application is for a display device with integrated sensing capabilities, that is, a camera built directly into its screen. Rather than include a separate camera built into a monitor, as Apple has done recently with the iSight's placement's inside their MacBook and iMac lines, the display would have sensors and pixels aligned in juxtaposition to one another. Included in the patent are provisions for use in a variety of potential products, such as telephones, PDAs, medical devices, and televisions.
